I've just bought my first TVR, a cerbie 4.2. I picked it up last week and really enjoyed the drive home.Its been very well cared for, full history and servicing carried out by Peninsular and Offord. From all the invoices, no expense spared. Its a standard car with sports exhaust tails. Dont think the neighbours are too impressed about the noise though. Can anyone out there recommend where I can take it for servicing in the North West area and what are the ball park servicing costs- I live near warrington. Cheers, Mackers
PS Do you know where I can get touch up paint

Try Ian @Torque TVR in Middlewich, 01606 831244. I posted exactly the same thread, about this time last year & this guys name came up time & time again, I've not heard a bad word against him & he's been looking after my cerb since. His coffee's shite though, & I if you do go round there take a sleeping bag, this guy works late!

It tastes better I aggree, but there's never enough of it in a cup, besides it takes too long to make, add this to his non stop chitchat whilst working, no wonder he works late into the evening.
Prices are very reasonable though, seriously Mackers get in touch with him.

Automedon in poulton. friendly chaps, ex-factory I believe. they were excellent with my TVR and I have heard nothing but good reports about them..In short, I thoroughly recommend them. plus, the blast to get there is good

Another shout from me for the ex-factory boys - they have some great stories of their 17 years+ there.

They fitted me a new starter in the blistering heat of Blackpool back in July on the Sunday of Back Home - from my first call, to them coming to me and starting the car afterwards was around and hour and a half - top work guys

I even got a mug and some rock for my trouble

I'd go along with this as well, Automedon did a great job on my service and fitting a clutch.
