newbie SRV8

[thorns]

Hello
After signing up a couple of weeks ago, and after several months of looking for a new toy I am happy to say I am now the proud owner of a SRV8.
After many hours reading the advice posted on this site, I am happy to say it is correctly registered as a Southern Roadcraft and has the bonus of being an historic vehicle.
I have some work to undertake to fully complete the car, and will more than likely require some help along the way. I will apologise now for any stupid questions that I may post in the future, but the way I look at it is every day is a school day!
Could anyone recommend a trimmer in the Devon/Cornwall area? The interior is one of the jobs that need completing. Also after being caught out today in the rain on my first real test drive!! I need to look at getting a Tonneau cover. Still it will take more than a bit of rain to get that smile off my face!

Many thanks in advance
Paul

PS. Are there any other SRV8’s in the South West??

Welcome and congrates,

There are a few SRV8's around, and Iv'e one, its no way a show car but fully sorted and used all the time (weather permitting)

Is it a older one that you can carry spare wheel


Have fun but do watch damp roads ---these cars can bite back in the wet

All the best

I have just finished building an srv8 and live in plymouth, I am also looking for a trimmer to do my carpets and will search this week. A few people in the trade have recommended Autotrim at Ivybridge who will be on my list of quotes. I also have a few spares perculiar to the srv8, if you get stuck send me a PM.
