The whole
intention of this website is to share my knowledge of M Series TVRs and
the Ford V6 Essex Engine to anyone who is interested.
My aim is
to save enthusiasts of these cars wasted time & effort looking around
(like I have in the past) for parts that are very hard to source, for
methods of carrying out certain repairs, and for technical data that is
also difficult to find.
I am a car
fanatic and have been working on cars since 1986. In 1995 I opened Minifix,
running a servicing/bodywork garage right through to 2001, and have twice
worked in a parts department of a Main Dealer Franchise in Oxford, UK.
Currently I'm working as a Motor Vehicle Technician on modern day vehicles...to
further increase my knowledge as recent important changes have recently
made cars much more complex such as multiplex wiring with computers for
almost every item (e.g. Xenon headlamps, Parking Brake, ABS, Air Conditioning,
Instrument Panel, Power Distribution, Stability & Traction Control,
Electrically powered steering etc etc). Newer technology around the corner
will be fly by wire steering, braking - already a feature in some manufacturers'
vehicles.
I believe
that you can never stop learning about cars, so that's what this site
is about - putting down my findings & experience in hard copy. Your
questions are also welcome and will contribute to the ever growing source
of subject matter.
Thanks for
visiting!

Alternatively
you may wish to advertise on this website, as the traffic is now approx.
40 hits per day and steadily growing. If so please drop me an email for
information on costs.
intend to expand this site into an e-commerce store, including an online
payment system and next day (UK) delivery service. When this happens is
not certain due to the minefield of legal and administrative factors which
I have to get sorted.
The
range oroducts on offer will be small to begin with, but should include
engine parts (ignition/cams/service kits/gasket sets etc), bodywork kits
(specific fibreglass kits to suit the repairs you have to make), and a
few other items not yet sorted out. I should also be able to offer a Weber
Carburettor spares service through one of my suppliers.
In
each case, I hope to provide an instruction leaflet for each product sold
as I've been so frustrated in the past with getting a part and no after
sales help at all. For example, a bodywork kit will include a step-by-step
guide on how to carry out a repair to your type of damage.
Export
Goods - This is also a service which I hope to introduce where I can put
orders of various parts together to save export customers on individual
shipping charges. As I have experience in both exporting and parts sourcing,
this can be put to good use. More on this subject will appear in due course.
