Brian is currently working on polishing the TVR’s expansion tank and cap. The results are amazing and no need for stripping and re-chroming on this one. The original ‘patina’ characteristics are present but will not look out of place against…

Brian spent a short while cleaning up the TVR dash and centre column to assess whether it would be acceptable enough to be refitted without re-covering. As much as it has brought life back into the tired looking parts we…
