I can however confirm their premises has been sold and emptied and so they are not taking on road car work, hence the website has been closed.

That is such a shame
There is another MG specialist in Covemtry that I have used for a pump up, however I would not recommend them for anyone who does not have a comprehensive knowledge of their car...
Geoff cheapest does not always mean paying for it twice. Jon Norris was by far the cheapest, by a few hundred pound, when I had a long list of mods and stuff that needed doing to all 4 cars ..
His work was faultless and superior to many garages that do work that is not needed due to the lack of knowledge of some owners ..

Re: Performance mod specialists in South
Just spoke to Marvin - not much to add to what Steve has already posted. They have got a lot of new parts, they've thrown some old used stuff away (!) and are looking to find a home for the old ex-Rover Group press car that has all the Techspeed goodies attached to it.
They're currently looking for a short term solution to house their racing activities, but whether there is any future mileage in road car work really depends on the demand I think: in recent times it seems that a lot of their work has simply dried up...
If we want TS to survive it may be a case of making more use of them: a "Save TS campaign" perhaps?

Re: Performance mod specialists in South
Thanks for all the replies, folks. Shame that TS isn't an option, as I'd read a lot of good things about them.
I'll look into some of the other options that you've suggested, although it sounds like with the demise of TS for road cars I'll have to do some homework myself as to which parts to fit, rather than taking the easy option. The extent of my suspension/ engine modding so far has been confined to Gran Turismo/Forza, so not exactly real world
Cheers,
Balders.

Rob, you beat me to it with your post.
Steve, you may ask Marvin what he has done with his collection of bits in the loft. I do hope that he does not have a big skip.

Re: Performance mod specialists in South
Geoff, the older used stuff ended up in a skip. the new unused parts have been retained and will be up for sale (once they work out what they've got).
I think Keith may have hoarded some parts away too.
Shame your spare bedroom wasn't larger Steve

Re: Performance mod specialists in South
When I get to speak to Marv again, I'll certainly be offering space in my garge to 'store' thier Hydragas pump and alignment equipment
The main reason I need to speak with Marvin is because I know he has a few bits I (and others) could be interested in, and I'm hoping I can help finding some buyers for some of it. Thats a little difficult until they work out exactly what they have.
