So I appear to be in a TVR wasteland outside of London or the North west.

Living in Swindon, who's local-ish for me to take the car to for Servicing?

There's APM near Liphook, that's 80 miles away
Silverstone performance at Bicester or Silverstone

Any other suggestions?

(Leven I suppose and get pedals fitted as well )

APM is fab and as well as one of the best he is one of the cheapest !
Euphoria Racing (Steve Howard) is out your way ?

Another vote for APM as I've just got mine back.

Great service, great price. I have no reason to look elsewhere.

I'd swear by Andy Mcglochlin at APM. I drive around there from Kent early morning and then catch the train in to town. Get in to work by 9.30 and pick it up on the Friday night to have a blast home through Hampshire, Sussex and back into Kent.

He really is the Cerb Master of the South, he is currently building my Cerbera Racer for the TVR Tuscan Challenge Series, see my website (needs updating but you'll get the picture) and gets things right first time.

He is also brilliant at building engines, I have a 5.0 AJPV8 on the way!!!

Cool I didn't know there was another Cerb in the Tuscan Challenge this year, I thought Mike (itsallyellow) was going to be the only one - cor like London Buses. Must get down to a few races this year to see the Cerbs in action

Yep, I'm nearly ready, touch and go on getting to Oulton. Car is running and is very sorted through two years of racing in the sprints etc..and a new 4.5 litre engine. Still lots of the rgulatory things to do but optimistic. I will also be racing in the new GT & Modiofied Sportscar races at Brands, but under some pressure to give one of my son's a leg-up who is racing a Golf GTI this year in his first sprint season.

Had mine serviced by Matt at SP Silverstone this week (07724571437). Brillant personal service, very fair price and excellent attention to detail - I will be going back!

Murder ain't it! There was the choice of two before V8 closed now there's a bit of a monopoly now. But at least there a good lot which is a saving grace, would be really pissed if we were left with some cowboys!

what about offord motors byker they sound cheap at £600 for a 12,000 mile service but had no experience with them directly, dont know if any of the other guys have any adverse coments. also dont know if its close enough for you to trek from swindon to cabridgeshire, was just another suggestion good luck anyway. when i get mine serviced im going to try horizen motorsport in the west mids ive heard good reports about them

You know, what we need is a map showing all the indy's / dealers so we can zoom in and find the local stuff.

What was the website - Frappr?

There were a few added to the Cerb owners map from a while back, let me find the linky.



Edited to add Linky:www.frappr.com/phcerbs

I have just been playing with it as not looked at it for a while, seems however that Frappr have been playing also. Nowhere near as good as it used to me, you used to get a named member list down the side and now all you get is thumbnails on the edge, you can go into the member pages but runs to 20 pages and not easy to find specific people. Most annoying of all though, is that despite a few of the most common indies being listed in there, for some reason they are not coming up on the map, at least they are not showing up on mine.

Up until 3 months ago I would have recommended Steve Howard at Euphoria, but no longer.
Give APM a try Dsve, he's got a good reputation on here, and its not too far away from you, and an easy train journey if you have to leave your car there - change at Reading and Guildford, a 1 hour journey - I've just picked my car up from Andy. He fixed it really quick, collected me at the Station, He races drag bikes and Tuscan's and builds his own engines. Can't be wrong in my book!
