Earlier this summer I bought my first TVR from Shmoo Automotive Ltd.
Within a few hours from sending an online enquiry form I had an email back with some more information, exactly the kind of prompt and helpful response I soon found to be the norm.
The car I was interested in was based at the Devon address, so I was introduced to Ross who deals with the cars down there.
My search was limited to a MK1 Tuscan and I was picky on colour, Ross offered advice over many emails and suggested a few other cars he had including a T350. With several cars being on my potential list I headed down to view. (It’s only just inside North Devon, so not that bad a trip actually.)
We decided to turn the trip into a long weekend with the wife and dog in tow.
Ross was incredibly accommodating. I got to try both models (T350 & Tuscan) and my wife got to be a passenger so she could provide her feedback on them as well. We then sat down over a coffee and looked over paperwork with Ross on hand to answer any questions.
At no point did I feel I had to make any decisions there and then, I left and spent the journey home with a notepad and pen going over my observations.
Once home I decided I wanted to take it further and get the T350 independently inspected; not a problem and Ross arranged to get it in at another local TVR specialist to give it the once over.
With report in hand and excellent feedback across the board the T350 joined the family.
Shmoo Automotive organised delivery and at an excellent rate, with the car arriving on time. I was expecting some initial hiccups (it’s a TVR…) and I had one issue, a quick text to Ross asking for advice and I got a call back within minutes. A new part was required and without even asking for it, Ross said their warranty would cover it for me. Since then I’ve texted the odd question and Ross still takes time to be as helpful as possible.
Loving the car and thanks to Shmoo Automotive for all the help and helping me join the TVR family.
Cheers Harry
