Sounds impressive. Well done. I saw the TVaserati in the RR pics. The wider track looks cool. And really aggressive. That engine is a peach too.
For the right price I might be tempted smile

I'm not just talking about saving a few ££ for the sake of it, I mean getting as good a job and saving £££..

These place do often have a track record.. Also, it's only a TVR, built by a bloke in a shed in Blackpool.. There isn't really anything that complicated about them. If a trimmer is a good trimmer, or a painter a good painter with FG experience etc..
I agree with this. There's no magic anywhere with these cars, they're pretty simple things.

There's a point to be made in favour of using specialists with regards to resale, but I'm not convinced that it would necessarily translate in to a substantially higher price.

I've spent much of my ownership correcting work by so called specialists..

Money no object means a 100% accurate Speed12 recreation.

If 100k sounds like a reasonable ceiling then buy a 30-40k car from the classifieds and give the car plus the change to a respected restoration place, telling them you’ll be back to collect a perfect immaculate concours car in 12 months.

I’d argue that you would have more fun in less time for less money if you buy a rough one and do the essentials then use it as your track car - summer isn’t far away wink
