Interested in this too - anywhere around SW London, Sussex or Surrey would be good.

Yes, dont mind a wee drive about, but last place I had it done was Webbs near bristol. http://www.tvrbodyshop.com/ Who are fantastic and know their stuff, but would like to know if there is anyone of similar calibre near by. Cost me about £100 there, so if anyone does know of somewhere, a rough price guide would be great too

You could try Leven Technology in Basisdon, APM Andy at Liphook, Wheels in Motion, Chesham or Top cats Aylsbury.

I recently used the classic car workshop in Pulborough, West Sussex and can highly recommend them. It's run by Ben (posts on here as Incorrigble) who seems like a good guy and used to own a Chimaera. Cost was pretty reasonable for me but I'm sure he'll discuss prices with you if you give him a call. Might be worth a try?

I will check my invoice when I get home to see what they did do,whatever it was it has made the car drive better.

Just been quoted £249 by TopCats in Alysbury for 4wheel alignment and geo setup. These guys race TVR's so they were top of my list.

That will involve corner weighting as well within that price. Brian, top man

David batty from 'The Garage' did mine, just down the M3 (or A3 - can't remember now!) a junction outside the M25. Cost £120-£140 for height adjustment and tracking, toe & camber reset. Gave lots of good advise.

I love the TopCats setting .... in middle of disussed airbase, with an old runway as a test track hehe

Another recommendation for Topcats...very impressed with the result and as has been said that includes corner weighting. And yes the improvised test track setting definately helps!
