Hi all

I recently bought a 1994 512 TR - and managed to enjoy it (the noise!) for a few months prior to winter hibernation.

I wondered which specialists in the South East are particularly known for working on the Testarossa and its derivatives?

Thanks!

Give Aldous a call down at AV. They had a TR with engine out when I collected my car a few weeks back.

Emblem Sports Cars of Poole are excellent and have a number of exotic rebuilds at the moment.

Congrats, great car! It's the only car that's stayed with me for as long as it has, and I hope to keep it for years yet.

I've had mine for about 15 years now and have always used a main dealer - for older cars, they often have discounted rates to keep them in the network. I understand independents are your focus but main dealers won't necessarily break the bank.
Meridien has looked after mine since I bought it and have been fantastic. They're thorough but don't flag everything as urgent and generally give more than a single option on repairs/timings.
They're pretty simple car ,comparatively, the only issues I've had over the years have been fuses (2) on road trips and a battery drain that turned out being related to the light in the glovebox where we took the route of taking the bulb out rather than taking the dash apart to solve.

They'll also collect the car with a transporter - I'm mostly London based.

I haven't used them personally, buy I enjoy following their YouTube channel, Barkaways in Tonbridge.

They come across as very professional. Should my Lotto numbers come up, mine will be going there.
