Can any TVR owners in Norfolk advise on servicing in the county? Are there any TVR owners in Norfolk?

Depends where you are. I took mine to Kerridges in Suffolk, very good customer service. Or if you live near Norwich and not fussed about Main Dealer history then there is RPI in Horsford who are well known Rover V8 specialists.

For what its worth I have used Kerridges for several years and have always found them very very good. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

If you live to the west of the county, Offords at Huntingdon are always well recommended and not too far away,

Thanks,

Anyone know about Brundle TVR on the A10 between Downham Market and Kings Lynn, Once we have moved this will be very local.

I live in Norfolk. The TVRCC members in this area use either Kerridges, Offord, or Scole Engineering (near Diss). Scole Engineering do lots of TVR work for the dealers in the area, particularly fault diagnosis, upgrades (brakes, etc). They are good value and seem very competent.

Hope you come along to the Norfolk/Suffolk meet of TVRCC as you can ask questions there.

If you search this site you will find a lot of stuff about Brundles However they are now no longer a franchised TVR dealer, and I haven't seen any second hand stuff in there lately either, and I drive past them fairly regularly as I live about 5 miles from them.

If you're moving up this direction I shall keep an eye out for your car, as there are very few other TVR's around here.

For what it's worth I used Kerridges once and would never go back.

We have seen a very nice S3c ( red ) parked regularly in Stoke Holy Cross also the the odd Chim in Norwich but nothing in the way of Wedges !!

Had a really great social group in Kent that met up on a regular basis for a drive, a drink or even just a drink with a possible drive ! We are looking forward to meeting some regulars in the not too distant future and after the mid Kents summer outing to Hethel, I'm sure they'll be up pretty often too.

All the best

Brundles are no longer dealers. Best not dig up that old chestnut, but lets just say that there seems to be more people with a bad thing to say about Brundles rather than anything good....

Best look at the people recommended. Oh, and I have used Offords too - not brilliant customer service (but hey, its half the price of a main dealer) but the work is good and excellent price..... Will be using them again in the next month or so - they really arent bad at all....

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Tim - yes, it's the third Sunday of each month at the Sorrel Horse, just through Claydon off the A14. Hope to see you there sometime!
