Live near Newbury. Can anyone recommend a decent garage or specialist locally for servicing and general maintenance?

One of my collegues who lives in Thatcham could certainly do it for you, (JKY on PH) as he rebuilt a 5 ltr last year, and he could do with some free lance work, and he is meticulus. Otherwise I can do engine services quite happily, but in both cases we dont have rubber stamps for the service book if that worries you. There is no garage in this area who is TVR specific, although I do believe there is a garage /MOT center down the Hambridge lane run by a guy who builds really decent kit cars I met at a local car meet that Im sure a TVR would not present a problem to.

I guess it depends on what sort of work you are looking for. Until I went all retro (Taimar) I would only use STR8SIX, but if you just want basic tinkering (small jobs) then the post above is probably what you are looking for.

Hope that helps.
