Thanks. Got to get things rolling cos I use the car a lot. It's still drivable but a bit sad and full of non TVR paint.
It's not just bodywork that he does is it? Because I don't want to find out that the damage is more than it seems.The car that I hit (Citroen Berlingo) might not get his passenger door open today, but the chim looks fine apart from fibreglass damage and paintwork.

He has done mechanical work, but tends not too now

He's done full chassis refurbs on Chimaeras and various other bits and pieces.....

He's a Chim owner himself and knows his way around them very well, especially when it comes to paint and bodywork yes

Well, as sad as it sounds, he makes his living from things like this, but I like to think that those whom I send his way come back happy after receiving good service

hehe I make nothing from it, just like to help people smile

Yours isn't the Chim that lives in North Wakefield (WF3) is it? It burbles gloriously past my house several times a week.

I use the car as often as possible so its well travelled around the WF area. But there's more than mine around there.

I left this reply on your other post.


Hi there

I could help with this.

I have a friend in Huddersfield who is an ex- body repair / painter of classic show cars and he is available to have a look at your car if that would suit.
By the way he has just finished his own Chimaera repair after a slight coming together with armco at a well known German track.

If you are interested let me know and I will set up a chat. His name is Ellis and he also maintains/ guides me in looking after my cars.

Cheers

Phil.
