FTVRSH? Depending on the age/type of your car that isn't so important. For the Rover engined cars anyone buying who's done any decent research shouldn't fault a car for having history from a well known specialist.
For newer cars, or cars with TVR's own engines its more important. I know of one case where an AJP V8 went pop after something like 3 years. Because the car had a full main dealer service history TVR replaced it even though it was out of warranty.
Could be wrong here, but having spoken to Adrian recently regarding their current position with TVR, I believe that they are still an authorised service centre and can do some (if not all) warranty work. They are no longer a TVR dealer and so cannot sell new cars but I think that everything else is still on track (other than a new owner). He seemed quite happy with the situation, said they were very busy and gave the impression that things were going from strength to strength now that the sales 'problems' had been removed.
I'm going to be using them again, had to switch during their bad patch, and I have a 10 month old Tuscan RR.

Yes I am relatively local, so you've got a good point there, and I've no experience of max. velocity in the Seiccento! I do know people who have had to go even further afield than Cambridge in the Team Pro' loan cars.
Though if you dealt with Team Central previously, they're a lot better than the dirty and unfueled discourtesy cars they used to inflict on customers.

Dealt with Team Central since '94, and I had similar experiences with the loan cars. Like a Citroen BX which was in dire need of an oil change - the upholstry that was!
So full marks for them getting sorted with clean, reliable and (at least partly) fuelled loan cars.
