My car was down there having a body off. Had it trailered home today after being told they had ceased trading on Monday.
Very sad from what little information I've been told and totally unexpected.

Not a member of TVRCC so don't know what infomation has been released there.

Used them several times over the years and will be sad to see them gone. Best wishes to Richard and team for the future.

Awwwww crap. They did a fantastic job on my chassis and was planning to take my car down next month to get tuned. Really sorry to hear this news. Best wishes to Richard and the team.

Very sad. Hope all the staff can find suitable work quickly.

does anyone know if they have released details of their administrators yet? I have not had any luck finding out

[techbotics]

very sad they always seemed busy..

lets hope the S chassis jigs go to a good home... RT or other suitable candidate.

if they are lost it will spell the end of some old S's in years to come...

Mine needed them to fix the chassis.. Without that I guess it write off time, unless a chin chassis could be modified and used somehow..

cheers

Reading on the TVRCC forum, they are saying that the business is being wound up due to serious illness of Richard, the owner and sole trader. Very sad for him and his family. Apparently the business cannot function without him since he is the sole trader and nobody else has authority to deal with the bank, sign cheques etc. The tvrcarparts website says something about "coming soon", so maybe those guys (Neil & co) are going to take over the parts side of the business themselves? Here's hoping that something can be salvaged from it all.

Damian, I see from your profile that you are Yorkshire based, surely Richard / Russell at RT Racing can sort your chassis? Whatever, Hope the Taunton enterprise can be maintained in some way, those guys are vital to all Tivvers. Hope Richard has a speedy return to good health.

Hello my chassis is just fine thanks Dulfords did it a couple of years ago. However it was so bad the original factory jigs were required to do the job.. As far as I am aware the only remaining jigs were with Dulfords. Lets hope RT etc can / want to pick them up.

Cheers

Sh.....t. I picked my car up from Dulfords last Saturday. Was going to post a glowing report here but have been away with work. The chap who picked me up from the station said that Richard was ill but I just assumed it was a bug.

Sad news.
