tooquicktostop Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Now is the time to get the TVR S3 out the garage and on the road for the summer, it will need a service as it has been away for 6 months, can anyone recommend a garage in the solihull area for this, I used TVR Power in Coventry last year but was far from impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I've always seen loads of TVR's at Austic. Think it used to be dedicated for them. You have the v8? I've the v6. Cheaper to run and preferred the Ford engine over the Rover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Ah nice. The v6 definitely has the better bonnet. I think they should have had a standardised bonnet for the two engine variants really. But still, prefer the v6 front. Do you know have anyone local you trust? Have you treated the tubular manifold? I stripped mine because it was powder coated and also wax filled the tubes.

tooquicktostop Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Full chassis refurb last year mate, body off etc, done in Sheffield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Sound's mint. Any photos of that work? How you get on with the headlights. I upgraded to HID because it was driving me mental with old lenses. Replaced them too at one point. Just for your informaiton, the windscreen comes out of a van, I had the documents somewhere. I had to get one replaced few years back, took me a long time to get one. I'll get some photos. I love the cam lope, they sound so retro it's such a dream to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Dyno Torque do a lot of TVR stuff and they are in Olton between Spark Brook and Acocks Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Dyno torque, thanks I will look them up I only drive the car on sunny days now but I did use it every day last year for a while and the headlights did not bother me, good info on the windscreen thanks I did not get any pictures of the chassis work, I visited it twice during the work, initially it was just outriggers but once the body was off it was much worse !
