Geometry setup in the South West for a classic Tiv?
Discussion
Hi,
Can anyone recomend somewhere to get a fast road geometry setup for a classic TVR?
The car in question is a 1600M, so ideally I'm looking for someone with experience of dealing with early(ish) 4-cylinder cars. It's located in East Devon, so it would be good to get something done relatively locally, but we could travel if needs be.
Cheers,
Chris

Bit of a trek but this is where mine's going when the time comes.

Thanks gents. I think we may have a winner, Cullompton is practically walking distance!Used to see a very nice Tuscan V6 (a bluey/purpley colour from memory) around Axminster sometimes, I wonder if that's a Dulford car?

Chris,
You should go along to a Somerset TVRCC meeting, check with Daston for details.
The Tuscan is owned by another Chris, and he is there more often than not. Also, Ian Massey-Crosse is a long standing TVRCC member, a frequent visitor to the Somerset meetings and a very highly regarded expert on the earlier cars.

Sadly I'm not down that way very often, the 1600M belongs to my dad, I'm stuck in London these days. In some respects that's probably a good thing - I'd have to refeul the Chim every day if I had Devonian roads to play with!
I might be borrowing the M-Series for a road trip in the near future if I can't get mine (which is basically a new purchase) up to the sort of standard I want before then.

Will do.
It looks, by the way, like this humble M-Series might be in for a very long trip and some track day action. I hope some setup work and a spot of twiddling with the dampers improves the handling beforehand though - the steering is disconcertingly light at the moment and it's all a bit floaty. The car is in superb condition, but it's never really been set up.
