James -

.. they are TR specialists, I've been there three times. Most of the cars
  I saw there were TR3/TR4's. But I've also seen a TR6, a GT6 and
  my Spitfire ;). As far as I know they do everything, from total
  restorations to small jobs like MOT's. The latter the don't do directely
  there but they seem to have "good connections" .... (my MOT took 20 min.).

.. Glen (the shop owner) himself has built a TR3S. What I recall from his 
  explanations, this is a slightly elongated racing-version of the TR3. 
  Accordingly, the engine is also 'a bit more' powerful. There were only 
  very few cars built of this type for racing in LeMans. (Don't flame me, 
  TR3 owners/specialists, I'm just trying to remember ...) BTW, I think that 
  Glen is trying to sell this car a the moment (no interests etc.)
