Watch Commander John Anderson, of Foleshill Fire Station, said: "The fire was quite severe and the building was extensively damaged.
"TVRs are very expensive cars and about seven of them were badly damaged by the fire."

I have a very expensive car !!

and not to mention that any records they had have just be subjected to one hell of a fire and then soaked with plenty of water.....

i just feel so sorry for all involved - the company and all those affected
Not to mention that the staff might not be allowed back in the building until some kind of investigation has been completed. Dom would definitely put his customers first if he had any choice!

If your car has been damaged then you should be asking your motor insurers for a claim form.

The cars should be covered by Power's insurance whilst on their premises - there should be no need to claim and shoot your own NCB surely?

Feel sorry for all involved but especially those who have lost their cars.
Its not just the face value is it. We all know how much attention we pay them both in time and money.

That should be the case. Sad news - feel bad for anyone who's lost their car through this as well as the downtime to the business.

I suspect you'd still have to initiate the process through your own Insurers, so a claim form from them is appropriate...probably

Why would they be covered by Power's insurance?

Even if there was no notice on Power's premises saying "Vehicles left at own risk, no liability accepted......" like you see in car-parks and even if there was no such clause in their contracts, then you still have to prove that Power breached their duty to take reasonable care of the car. Effectively, you have to prove that Power were negligent.

You cannot just say that because the car was on your premises Power and because it caught fire and damaged my car, that is automatically your fault Power and your insurers must pay.

You will have to claim on your motor insurance and your insurers will have to show that Power breached their duty of care. That might be impossible to do in the circumstances

Was on a trip with him and his Griff back in April to the IOM. Had had some super special engine installed I think and if I remember it was going back into Power for a Supercharger as well so maybe that's why it was there. Nice chap nice car, sorry to see this Rich if you read this frown

Because 'naming and shaming' as it's called is not allowed as there are always two sides to a story.
You are plainly a troll anyway as you've joined under that name today with no details, hardly inspires confidence in the validity of your comment does it?

I hope TVR Power do come back from this because on the two occassions I've been in touch with them they've been brilliant.

Not going to get into it as I didn’t mean to highjack the thread and it will only get censored again.

I have my reasons, if you want to know email me. My estimation of this web site has fallen even more and I will seriously consider any further posts from this username or any other. (which might please some but would just about sum up this site)

Get on with patting each other on the backs and kissing each others Ar$es!

Yeah I remember seeing that last time I was in... He's got an ex-tuscan racer engine in there with a supercharger on there as well... Should be a bit of a monster when its done. Why did they say it was a write off? It still looks pretty Griff shaped to me??
