Wellington TVR mechanic

[Zaphod]

Greetings, its been a while...

My 1999 Chimp has been off the road for several years for family reasons - although turned over regularly, but not driven further than up the road and back.

Unfortunately, when getting ready for a house move, ignition gave up the ghost - looks like fuel pump not priming (I can hear the relay clicking, but nothing from the fuel pump).

Any recommendations for a TVR / RoverV8 friendly mechanic that could be tasked with fixing problem and giving a good service / WOF to get back on the road?

Cheers in Advance
Richard

There's a few TVRs around the city, do you know any of the other owners, or maybe get in touch with some of the club in Auckland to see if they have a recommendation

Failing that, maybe give Power Haus a ring?

Thanks for those suggestions - little slow in following up, but need to get moving to get her on the road again...
Drove past Ray Hartley in Haining Street - they do Lotus and MG so might be worth a shot..

Did you end up finding a workshop? I'm a new TVR owner and am keen to hear recommendations.

Hi slingshot! I didn't - the lockdown slowed my plans, but need to get back on to it. I'll let you know what I find out.

Did I happen to see you driving down Discovery Drive in a blue Chimaera recently....?

That would almost certainly have been me 😁

Are you a Whitby local?
