Hi,

I've just bought a 1977 TVR 3000M, it needs a few jobs doing to it, the engine needs tuning, it doesn't like to start when warm and theres a nasty juddering through the steering wheel (I've had the wheels balanced but it hasn't sorted it).
I wondered if anyone could recommend a good place near King's Lynn for this type of work on this type of car. I've got it booked into J&I Motors in Kings Lynn for them to have a look but wondered if there was a more specialist garage in the locale.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Morbius,

Several of us in the Kings Lynn area use Offords in Cambridge www.offord.com and there is a place near Norwich which comes recommended (but I`ve forgotten their name again ) Also V8 developments in/near Spalding are good I hear.

We sometimes have a local beer if you are interested and a Pher gathering in Bury St Edmunds on a monthly basis usually - see Flying Fortress thread.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll see how I get on with J&I first, Offords look good but they seem to deal mostly with modern TVR's mine is 27 years old!!! I may give them a ring however.

Where do you meet locally for a drink?

Cheers,
Mark
