One CAREFUL lady owner, faultless car, well looked after and in mint condition I think you'll find.

Never thrashed or abused in any way!

he'll have to try harder than that to make me angry!

It's less complicated than most cars so anyone you trust will be able to do the job. I trust Black and White garage in Cold Ash personally. However it's main dealer prices and they are always booked weeks in advance. I don't use them for servicing but whenever I have something that requires a garage (not often) then they always do a good job.

If you want someone to do a full look over incl checking and painting the chassis and so on then possibly David Batty in Surrey would be worth a trip I'm told.

They had my s3 in a couple of times and it didn't phase them. Took me a while to get my v8 westfield out of there when it went in for an mot though... just wanted to look at bits on it and talk about them. Nice guys.

They're an alfa dealer so your tvr will be relatively reliable and modern
