My pride and joy is stored in Newport Pagnell while I'm living in Chicago. I'm coming back this year and it needs a chassis restoration. Any recommendations for a specilist garage in North London / Birmingham corridor OR M4 corridor around Reading / Windsor ?

If its a complete refurb, worth considering an exchange chassis from TVR Gerald in Redditch.

This guy is Adrian Venn, font of all knowledge on "classic" TVRs wink


Keith may well be along to answer for himself but I believe his "thing" is complete new chassis (and don't think he's ventured into the S market yet) not repairs?

Mike - I know Keith usually does new chassis but his website does list chassis restoration - so thought worth giving him a mention.

I'm not sure if he does S chassis but here's his chance!

Remember S4 is a hybrid V6 / V8 chassis a rare thing so exchange prob not an option.
I would go RT or similar and get them to arrange pickup.
