I'm probably insane, but after a 15 year gap, I've decided to buy myself a Griff (used to own a Chimaera but when he dumped me on the M25 in the pouring rain early one morning, I finally left him for a more reliable German chap)!! I'm now based in deepest East Suffolk, so I was wondering who people recommend for servicing and general bits n bobs? I haven't found a car yet, but I'm beginning the hunt and I'd like to know a good TVR doctor for when I need one!!

Can’t help with your area but look forward to seeing pictures of your new car when you find one.
As always buy on condition and if your not savvy at mechanics and Tvr’s get so meone who is to have a look over it for you.
Good look with the hunt.

Ive heard of Python Racing in Colchester but haven't used them before. Ive used Kerridges and Matt Smith in Downham Market Norfolk.

Thanks folks. I've heard good things of Matt Smith. There's also GT101 in Colchester - have used them for a Ford GT - very knowledgeable - but don't know of anyone who's tested their TVR skills.

Good to see her looking so well. It was the car he had when we first met but he was desperate to get a Cerbera!

My newly acquired Griffith 500 currently at Python Racing near Colchester. Impressed so far with Jody's enthusiasm and knowledge

Looks a bit like mine. I may part with it if the price was right...

My Tuscan booked in for next month at Python to sort out door opening (lack of) and yes, Jody very helpful from my initial enquiry and is going to give the door and window mechanisms a full refresh so I can be confident of the right things happening in the right order when I push that button under the mirror!
