Yup, they do/did the rebuilds for TVR and offer a warranty.
Call and have a word with Dom Trickett - the MD, nice guy.

Yep - did a rebuild on mine some 4,000 miles ago. Seems first class...

Had my 5ltr engine rebuilt to the Taraka +. I am very happy with the engine and service.

Didn't know Dom had a dodgy sense of humour or is mine as dodgy yikes

Had a rebuild by Power aka Dom and he even fixed it out of warranty when another indy screwed it up big style.

Go see them; they used to build the TVR engines and have a full machine shop with access to all the orginal TVR designs.

Dom builds 1000 bhp Euro Winner Top Fuel bike engines in his spare time (that must when we're all asleep!)

My Tuscan has just had the re-build and more.

At 23950 miles on the clock will take it back in 1k just to renew the oils and filters. and then the Eprom 8-)
and it gets the stamp in the service book.

just running it in know taking it slow slow.

Dom & the guys are top lads...

I have seen top fuel drag bikes, wearing TVR logos, at the Ally Pally or NEC. Maybe both.

Years ago I remember North Coventry Kawasaki use to do a lot of racing at The Pod. Later or maybe always they were known as NCK Racing. If memory serves the team owners \ racers were called Nash?

Moving along swiftly, I believe NCK Racing became TVR Power. Is there a connection, or is my brain just fuddled?

Yes, quite correct; Dom worked for Graham and Alan Nash and latterly TVR when they took over the business.

Another one for Dom and co. They can get hold of parts a little easier than most indies as well. Labour rates are a little more than some however but I'm sure you get what you pay for.

I've owned a Chimaera for 4 years and despite living in Leicester, i.e. only 20 mins from Power, used them for the first time just a few weeks ago. Very happy with servicing and prices, I don't think I shall be using anyone else in the future. Good bunch of guys who obviously know their stuff.
