Other than Topcats who I will be visiting are there any other recommended TVR specialists in or around the county?

I would like to find someone to continue work on restoring my SEAC.

Thanks.

Does it have to be Bucks?

How about Mat Smith over in Noorfolk? Despite the extra digits on his hands he's great. I gladly travel from S London for him to service the Tivs.

Or Southways down, err, south. They are currently doing a 400SE. Top guys and the best customer service in 'TVR World' in my humble opinion.

If you are prepared to travel outside Bucks, also consider Sussex TVR.

Pick a location that is cheaper then ship the SEAC to them vs having it done locally. Most hastle but could be worth it ££££ wise, Richard at Southways is doing some good work

I was going to suggest you John but thought you were 'full' at the moment. Nice to know you're not.

STR8SIX did the fullvrestoration/rebuild of my LHD 420 SEAC (E950LLN - i’m thinking of calling her “Ellen”) for its prior owner prior to his bringing it to USA. They were also quite helpful to me. The restoration photo album is on the SEAC pages site. They did very high quality work, and have had other SEACs through the shop as well.

Thank you all for the suggestions and recommendations.

My initial reason for selecting Bucks was because the car is current in storage there however transporting out of the area is of course a minor issue in the whole scheme of things.

I will check out everyone listed.

Thank you again.
