My dad owns a garage, which is handy, but before he can service the `Animal`, simple info is needed, i.e.
air, oil & fuel filter make & model,
which i have been tasked with obtaining. I`ve searched the garage manuals & the web far and wide, but to no avail, and i`m getting frustrated to say the least. Can anyone shed any light on these matters, plus any other consumable parts i may have missed?
Eternal gratitude & thanks,
Martin.

I know this isn't related to what you asked, but are you sure you want to service it yourself? It might not have the best effect on the resale value when then time comes to move on (although I'm sure you know this already with family in the trade).

It's not that your/your Dad's work won't be as good, but you know some people will want to see authorised dealer stamps in the book.

If your dad owns a garage he should have no trouble identifying this sort of stuff himself. The most important thing he needs is a copy of the service shedule. There's far more to servicing a TVR than just swapping filters and fluids. The tricky bit will come when you need to replace non service items and have to find a source for the non obvious stuff.
