Arrived home tonight to find a missive from the Brundle boys.....relenquish TVR franchise? I thought this had been taken from them....and quite a while ago to boot. Goes on to mention the friendly and personal relationship with their customers. Cue expletives from Marshy

Apparently they only sold 20/25 cars per year, hardly enough to justify premises and staffing costs I would have thought.

Perhaps thats why they want £80 an hour in their workshop to try and supplement their income?

Always wondered is it the Brundle (Martin) that owns the garage?



Its his brother I believe...

I think Damon Hill's name is on the BMW garage in Leamington Spa isn't it (on the main road out of Leam towards the M40 next to Kings Lotus / TVR )

Think it's run by Robin Brundle (Martin's brother). Don't know who is the actual owner though.

I thought Ted Rogers had died?! S'ppose his estate could still own it though.

From what I seem to remember Martin and Robin co-own the lot. Both directors and both have been very helpful in my dealings with them, although from what I hear I seem to be the only person who got on with them.

Maybe I was the one that put them off :-)

Perhaps they could use the old Brundle premises to do warranty work on Tuscans?
