I am currently planning a 7-9 day driving holiday in the West Highlands of Scotland in July, and pre-empting what I hope to be only the very worst case, am interested to learn whether there are any TVR independents (do not think there are any dealers now) in Scotland which PH'ers trust. I have a 2003 Tuscan so SP6 experience essential!!

Dreadnought are in Scotland, Brian and Claire are very well respected. IIRC Claire is an amazing mechanic as well from what I have heard of her escapades.

Not sure if Glenvarigill are still on board but they are/were good as well.

Dont forget Noel @ V8 Sports and Classics. Well known and respected TVR specialist in my area. He is in Drem - just south of Edinburgh.

Dreadnought are superb - but why not save your car and hire ours (or a Sagaris) - nyou know it makes sense

I like the proactivity Edward and thanks for the offer; however, think I will stick with my Tuscan which is now well bedded in and ripe for an epic journey - unless you can offer the Gallardo or Zonda for the same daily hire price

Another option for servicing is using Automeddon of Blackpool, www.automedon.co.uk/home.html . They do a pick up and delivery service for 20p a mile. This sounds like a good deal to me it only works out at £150 for Aberdeen and back. As well as this there servicing costs are very reasonable and they are all ex-TVR mechanics. i am seriously considering giving them a go at the moment. I'll let you know how I get on once the service is done.
