Anyone know any TVR friendly (dogs only, no cats) in the Northants area ?

If you are in West Northants, there's a little outfit in Coventry that has been known to do the odd TVR. Think they are called TVR Power, or something similar.

If you are more East Northants, the guys I know (Zippee, Geoff ) take theirs to Mat Smith at Downham Market. There was a place near St Neots, but I cannot think what it was called.....

And in Melton Mowbray there's the guys who do the Leven bits.....Prestige Performance Cars. That's not too far north of Corby/Kettering.

Mine was serviced there at the beginning of the summer. They still sell them, as well.

ETA: I do note they only have one at the mo, but it is getting dark and winter not the best time to sell a TVR.
