Can anyone reccomend a TVR friendly MOT garage in Essex, preferably Chelmsford area?

Give Castle TVR a call and see if Darren might give you the name of the garage they use....

Station Garage in Rayleigh do mine every now and then, they let me do all the button/pedal pushing so they never actually touched it, bonus in my view, friendly and cheap too.

I agree 100% with Plunkett- Dovercourt Ford is an excellent place for an MOT. It is actually Rapid Fit in Chelmsford who do the MOT's, but it is attached to the main dealer. The top MOT man there is Brian. He has done my car (s) for the last 3/4 years- never failed, and he always takes care to point out anything which looks like it might need attention in the coming year.

Their number is 01245 706612

As a back up I have laso used Paul Bailey Car Sales in Bicknacre, which are also a good place (the afore mentioned Brian used to work there before Rapid Fit, but their new guy is good too)
