Do you mean to buy a car from or for servicing...? If the latter I cannot recommend http://www.guglielmimotorsport.co.uk/index.html highly enough, not too far away in Daventry wink

Ah good: Topcats are only 22 miles away, looks like Str8 six are 50 odd miles.

Usually get it serviced and looked after by X-Works but it's a bit of a trek for me now.

Don't forget STR8SIX is Jason Clegg (ex Factory Engine Builder) and an exile from Freckleton, Heath told me your place of work had changed byebye

I've been using topcats for a few years now, great service, good prices and very knowledgeable.

Do you know if any of these companies provide courtesy cars? I keep thinking about looking further afield, but the transport links are crap so I can't get the train back or anything like that really. The main reason I've stuck with my current garage is that I can get the bus back!

It'll be a SAAB with 237K miles on it. Not that I have any problems with them, and indeed I've always impressed that a car has survived that long, but they do have a certain "patina".

Not too worried if it gets me home! I think Top Cats are worth a shout too, think they're even closer to home.

TVR Power is only 50 miles away... well worth the trip and you'll get a lovely Vectra to drive around in...

I've not heard anything bad about their servicing, certainly seems good value (£650 to include tappets) - However, they were less than helpful when I was in the market for a Cerbera.

Mine's off to Scole Engineering.

I live in MK, and have always gone to silverstone performance, can't speak of them highly enough. They have moved away from silverstone though and are near stratford upon avon.

I wouldn't take my Chimaera anywhere else though
