Tornado Expands

We have now expanded into an additional 2500 sq ft building which is located directly next door to the original main factory building.

This building will be a new showroom with cars, chassis and parts on display plus a parts storage area.

There will also be a dedicated pre IVA test inspection and preparation area for customers cars.

This will also allow the original showroom area to be turned over to production work.

Thanks

Andy

Re: Tornado Expands

Congratulations Andy - this is good news for the GT40 world.

Out of interest will the inspection area be just for Tornado or any type of replica (GT40 wise)?

Re: Tornado Expands

Thanks Brett.

Our IVA department is for any GT40. We have some older GTD and KVA cars coming in to us in the next few weeks.

We collect the car from the customers address then pre inspect and make any changes required for the test.

We handle the IVA application and all of the paperwork including the test fees.

We transport the car to the test centre and make notes on any failures.

As the nearest test centre is now only 2 mins from the factory we have developed a good working relationship with the inspectors.

The car is returned to the factory and any rectification work is then carried out as needed.

A re test is booked and the car is again transported to and from the re test.

We then return the car to the customer with the IVA certificate. Job done.

As many customers dread the IVA test the idea of this sevice was to totally remove the hassle and make the IVA process as painless as possible.

Thanks

Andy
