Hi guys
I'm nearing my 30K service for the Tamora and as Tower View are quite close I was thinking about giving them a try and was wondering if any of you have had any experiences with them.
All the best

Good experiences in my Chimaera days. Do they know the Speed Six though?

Be quick as they are closing soon why not try TVR BARNET much better ( and cheaper) now that Martin runs it.

What's going on down there then? Haven't spoken to them in a while.

For the OP - they are good for 6 in a V but I don't know about in a line biggrin

Bit of a slap but Sebring are the only firm I would let loose on a speed 6 thats fairly local. There are other good ones but they are far a field.

I thought they'd been talking about closing for quite some time .. I can remember speaking to one of the guys from there at Rockingham and he was telling me

When I had my last service done in April, Dave mentioned that he wanted to retire. He owns a house + piece of land in Norfolk, and wanted to do some specialist TVR work from there.

From what I can remember Dave would have preferred to sell the business, but only to someone who would continue at the same standard he had maintained.

Have to say, good man Dave is, knows a TVR as well as anyione out there. I have seen Steve Heath's TVR's there for work/development...must be quality then. FWIW, my Griff has run from service to service without any issues whilst in Tower View's care.

I bought my 4.3 Griffith from them. I liked them, they were good guys and the only thing I ever had wrong with my Griff was it needed a new battery and a new alternator to replace the old ones.

Just called TVR Barnet who were really helpful, good quote on the 30k service, i have a bit of body damage that they'll do, a small interior trim repair that they'll do and while i'm there i think i'll get them to fit a sports exhaust.
thanks for the advice
