Speaking of Mole Valley does anyone knoe where they get there parts from?

4L of Mobil 1 cost me £61 + the jolly old VAT
And dont talk to me about spark plugs £36.80 + VAT I thought it only have 8 cylinders.

However there is no knocking them as they opened up, and presumably have kept to one side, a bottle of Locktite just for my car, wasn't that kind.

I cant wait to go back and get the list of recommened work done. Does anyone want to buy one of my Livers?

Apparantly from a relialble Mole Valley source,they are closing Chessington branch as far as T.V.R. is concerned.Allthough its rumoured that Charles Easton may carry on there.But their is still a firm in Ewell down the road specialising in Griffith and Chimera repairs,with ex mole-valley staff.

Hmmmmm more recent new models than you can shake a stick at but less official dealers, makes for an interesting next 12 months.

The rumour mill certainly is rife this week..... I have also heard a whisper about another dealer selling up, but nothing i can confirm so will stay very very quiet for now

a local dealership here has been through a few manufacturers as well


it was volvo then nissan and its just closed this week. there is another place in bromsgrove that seems to close and open up with a new franchise every few months


so it looks rarther like an industry problem than anything TVR specific.

So Redhill closed in 98 ish to be taken over by Mole Valley and could now close or change hands again.
How do these places hang onto people who know anything detailed about AJP engines?

Dont think Mole Valley Redhill have any intention of closing, particularily with the expertise that they have there and at Chessington on TVR,AJP engines, etc

I have spoken to Charles at Mole Valley and there's a little too much speculation going on here. It's not helpful to their business, to their customers or the marque.

Mole Valley are still a TVR dealer and if that situation were to change you can rest assured that you'd hear about straight away from PistonHeads in the forum of editorial (we've got a long standing relationship with MV).
