At Fastlane Autocare - The FastFit Centre North West and North Wales, we recently had the pleasure of working on a classic TVR that had been resting peacefully in a garage for the past three years. The owner, a passionate enthusiast, brought in the car with hopes of breathing new life into it after its long slumber. When it was parked, the TVR was not running, plagued with various issues that had kept it dormant for far too long. Determined to revive this sleeping beauty, our team eagerly took on the challenge.
Diagnosing the dormant TVR
Upon inspection, it became clear that the TVR had succumbed to the usual ailments that afflict cars left unused for extended periods. The fuel system was clogged, the battery was flat, and various electrical components had become temperamental. However, armed with our expertise and a deep understanding of TVR vehicles, we were undeterred by the challenges ahead.
