V8 Sports and Classics

Has anyone had their Elise worked on by V8 Sports and Classics at Drem?

If so, how was the service?

I went along to their recent open day, and apart from a few remarks about the agricultural engineering quality of 20 year old TVRs I have seen nothing else.

Is this silence ominous or does it point to an aversion of all things TVR?

I think Tom (Rootes) was looking into it, but the were more expensive than the place he usually goes and when they started talking about 'painting up his brake calipers' he ran....

Yes, I can understand that. The painting really was not at all good. I would certainly not have liked my calipers to be touched up.

Cheers,

I think it was more the fact that they thought that big red shiny calipers were something that remotely interested the average Elise owner.

Talked at length about the MGF race cars he helped run, but there are other things to look at on the Elise at a service that you won't find on an MGF.

They kinda missed the point...

Now if they had suggested painting them green with yellow lettering!

Great food though!
