Out and About in Northern Italy

[BritishRacingGreen]

This is by way of a testimonial to a British Sports Car Garage in Treviso near Venice:

MG Autofficina 31100 Treviso, Via Brigata Marche 13. Tel 0422 303258  – the owner Mauro Michilin and his enthusiastic mechanics helped get us back on the road when we had a drive shaft work loose on the recent Liège Brescia Liège Rally.

We were recommended to the garage by the President of the TR Register of Italy, Federico Zaffalon, who was extremely helpful when we limped to a halt miles from anywhere, near the village of Claut off the SR251.

When we arrived at the garage we immediately knew we were in safe hands. To the left of the entrance was an MGB, to the right a TR3 and at the back of the garage a 60’s Jaguar saloon…

A picture speaks a thousand words and so using the exploded parts diagrams in a Moss catalogue we were able to convey in limited Italian, the area of the car that we felt needed attention.

The car was fixed in a couple of hours and the invoice embarrassingly small.

If any club member is touring the Veneto area I recommend you make a note of this garage just in case.

Treviso incidentally is a beautiful city too, well worth a stop over and exploring – while your car is being attended to…

Thanks for the info, a great recommendation. This garage is listed in the TR Register European Breakdown Directory both the existing version here: https://www.tr-register.co.uk/past-issue/2015/08/0054/European-Breakdown-Directory and in the update that is currently being compiled. A very useful document to take with you or use on-line. Personally I have downloaded the pdf onto my phone, it works brilliantly.

We are working with the other TR and Triumph clubs across Europe on an update which we hope will be made available as an on-line web search tool.
