No.

This is a seperate company to the factory owned showroom at Chiswick.

IS there any news of anything coming even remotely close to S Wales again? Cardiff really could do with a TVR dealership.

I also heard that there were boutique style dealerships opening up in London alongside this one in Kings Cross. I would have sworn I heard 1 was going to be in Mayfair and for some reason I have got Canary Wharf in my head.

Its round the back, which is part of the massive regeneration project and starting to look quite good.

Still, don't fancy getting accosted by ladies of the night on the way to get my car serviced. Although on the other hand ......

Obviously you must hang around Kings Cross quite often for the Ladies Nevin?

Oggs was there a dealership down that way before?

LOL

Its a smart move-the new EuroStar station opens in Kings X soon - thousands of Euro business commuters and potential customers assing by every week-plus there are plans for more development in the area including shops,apartments and one of the UK's top design colleges. Kings X will be going up market -honest


forgot the P but prefer the effect

It is looking pretty impressive with the Eurostar down that way, I went up York Way the other week on my way home from work starting to really tidy up that area, there will certainly be some business to be had what with highgate being so close too!

Although i am still racking my brains to remember what Oggs is referring to with a dealership being there before, i never knew of one. Plus I went to the Raceway which is the karting circuit last year for a corporate event i dont ever recall seeing any kind of car dealer in there.

But good luck to them!

My first two TVRs came from Canary Wharf when HR Owen was a dealer. Last I knew they had moved on and it was now a :yawn: Mercedes dealer...

There used to be a TVR connection being run out of the Raceway.

When you enter the raceway round to the right is the TVR room.

Don't know what is being held in that room now tho, next door to the raceway is a car hire place with a few new TVRs.

I remember seeing a sign by the Jordan Racecar they had in Raceway on show but i beleive it was an old TVR show stand so that might be why.

But there is a car hire place down there too who hires out performance stuff, so that might be it, but never remember any kind of dealership down that way.

Quite! Though I think you'll be glad to hear the Mercedes dealer has left now, I believe. Perhaps it'll become a TVR dealership

And very pleased to hear about this new dealer - I'm in East London and distance to a service/dealer facility was one major issue preventing me from going TVR ...

... now if only they could sort the Speed 6 ...

I agree with Randy, the area is being completely regenerated due to the new Eurostar station and I have been to the new site and it is very professional with helpful staff and looks like it is there to stay. There is nothing "Blackpool" about it. I wish them all the very best of luck and think its great that a lot more people will have somewhere to take their beloved TVR's for servicing and advice. Good Luck TVR London
