Given that TVR are no more, who would you use for extensive front end and possible chassis crash repairs (doors don't open, roof doesn't fit).

Have been recommended Liphook Coachworks by Adrian Flux.

Who would you use?

South of England - Wiltshire, Hampshire, Surrey etc...

Thanks guys.

PS - No one injured.

Having stepped away from a comparable bash in April, I would recommend Racing Green. I was in a 9 car pile up, crunched into from behind and into my right wing by two separate cars in the accident. Although the damage sounds to a degree less extensive than yours, I still wanted complete piece of mind that there were no major issues to chassis or engine bay (there were not) given the velocity of the shunts and the impact it had on multiple panels to the car. Going only to a bodyshop - who may not have had chassis/engine experience - meant I preferred to go with RG, irrelevant of the long term servicing relationship I have with them.

One thing to bear in mind to those of you new to Tuscans; I was genuinely pleasantly surprised by how the cockpit of the Tuscan seemed to take the impact. The front and back took the bulk of the pain, and whilst I was shocked and had a few aches and pains thereafter, it could have been a lot worse. The challenge is now having to deal with all of the fall out from insurance claims etc and awaiting a police accident report involving so many cars.....
