Relocating to Bicester
Discussion
Its a good question. Im in Banbury so have the same problem now that Silverstone TVR are no longer with use
I just took mine to TVR Power and that was only about a 45 minute drive from Banbury so a bit further for you maybe. But probably the closest and arguably the guys of choice anyway :thumpup:
good luck

I would highly recommend Topcats racing. They are located between Bicester and Aylesbury (so virtually on your doorstep), very reasonable, and seriously good at what they do.

I'm up and down the A41 between Tring and Bicester all the time and I never realised I was so close to Topcats. I'll have to pop in one day...

I'm moving to sleepy (but not for much longer tee hee) Bicester so would like to know the best place in the area to take my P&J to get it serviced.
Thanks gang.
Whereabouts in Bicester - The Army base ?
Topcats @ Westcott down the A41 (before Waddesdon) are very close. Also David Gerald not that far up the M40.
I'm a big fan of TopCats.
V knowledgable and a nice bunch of dedicated petrol heads.
They did my Nitrons this year, including a full geometry set up and corner weighting. It TRANSFORMED the handling of my Tusc and made it a real joy to drive. (i now dont have to change trousers quite so often!)

I also live in Bicester. Use TopCats for my servicing and I can say that they are a good bunch of very knowledgable people.
Caught a number of things that were missed by the local dealer who is now defunct. Also, repaired some damage caused by said local dealter.
But I do need to say that I thought that local dealer was excellent just needed to build their body of knowledge.

Not me.. I'm single, thats why I can afford the car. More reliable than a girlfriend thats for sure...
It looks like Topcats wins the votes.
.. Only 3000 miles to go before the next service so shall be trying them out sometime in Aug.
I'll keep my eyes open for any new locals and give you a wave.

Yep, that was me v41ley.
A spotted and I didn't even notice......how rubbish is that!
Was a complicated day, off to a wedding in Wilts and dropping the Spitfire off for a bit of a fettle by Paul Cull in Wooton Basset.
Amazingly my Mrs didn't even notice the slow blue 4.0L contraption that she had parked the rip roaring 5.0L red beast beside and the Triumph behind!
BTW have you decatted yours as it was louder than mine?
I haven't attended any local meets. When is the next one?

The exhaust was done by Austec when owned by the previous owner. I try and go to the Oxfordshire TVRCC meet held at the Mill and Old Swan in Minster Lovell - 1st Thursday in the month (I think). ie next week .
If you fancy going let me know.
