I can highly recommend David Gerald. Doug and John really know their TVRs and are very straightforward to deal with. I bought 2 new cars from them, back in the day, and had great service.

(They have moved to Redditch as Inkberrow is home to "The Archers" and those of us in the know, are aware that Ambridge is no place to be tonight!!)

I have only good things to say - I have not made any big purchases with them but I was after a brass union for my V8S oil pump that had snapped. I think it was Doug I spoke to and he said they could make me one - and they sure did and I think they charged me something like a fiver. Top Guys.

If you also want any small bits like gaskets washers etc they are happy to post out First Class i.e. not stupid courier charges for cheap bits.

I have used them recently and they have been great. Didn't know they have moved to Redditch though, thats further away from me and makes TVR Power about the same distance away timewise, so I get more choice but have to travel for longer.

Makes it harder to get a lift back as well

They are in the same premises as Classic World Racing, i supply them brake pads for the very tasty race cars that they build. Good people.

They did have a good reputation, and I used them for emergency UJ replacement some years ago, but after they refused to refund me £70 or so for an incorrect part which they supplied (their fault) and which I returned, I wouldn't go near them again. They still owe me.

A thumbs up from me. Very approachable, accomodating, seem to know their stuff and good value

Well with much consideration i've opted and booked with TVR Power,a bit further to travel but they maybe my best bet with my electrics.
