Tech Support

Chiltern Group Technical Support Network

The Network is made up of members of the Chiltern Group, who are generously prepared to give of their time to share their hard-won experience and knowledge to help others. They do so freely for the benefit of fellow TR owners on a purely voluntary basis. They are not professional engineers and may not know all the answers, but they do have a wealth of experience gained from long term TR ownership. Get in touch or seek them out at a Group meeting.
 Please note that contact details are only available in paper form. Ask for a copy at the next meeting.
 New people are most welcome, please ask.

Early Side Screen Cars

Hywel Lloyd - Sulgrave Hywel has owned his TR2 for 11 years and it gets well used ! With a well developed engineering skill and ability he offers specialist experience covering steering, rear axle (inc differential) and SU carbs (of the era), and rebuilding front suspension. Call Hywel by chance no later than 11.00pm

Geoff Wooldridge - Wallingford Geoff's previous car was a TR4 and he offers practical experience of general maintenance and “keeping 'em going". In this context he has a very well developed network of local contacts.

TR4/4A

Peter Bowden - Bierton Peter has amassed considerable experience of most things TR in 35 years of ownership. If he doesn't know, then he probably knows someone who does.

TR5 / TR6 / TR7/8
