I was introduced to Tom a few months after buying my 2001 XK8 by a fellow XK owner, as i wanted a real V8 sound instead of the standard exhaust.

What became clear very quickly, was that apart from a very obvious passion for Jaguar’s his knowledge and experience was very in depth and through. What sets TL Jaguar apart for me is the time he takes to explain the "what, where and how" as well as the ability to be shown what's been done and being done when you take the car in for anything from a service through to a complete gearbox or differential rebuild.

If asked, the one thing i would say about Tom and TL Jaguar is that he works on the cars as though they were his own, basing any decisions as though he would have to pay for the work to be done and therefore you don't feel as though things are completed when perhaps they didn't need doing! Its great to see the business going from strength to strength with many other Jaguar Specialists using TL for some of their more in depth and complex work too, i will continue to use TL for as long as i own a car!

Tom has looked after my Series I E-Type for a several years now and has played an invaluable role both in maintaining the car and continuing the process of restoration and upgrades.

He clearly has a great depth of knowledge when it comes to classic Jaguars. Tom seems to have an inexhaustible list of contacts and he can source anything or have it fabricated to high standards.

One thing that I have found especially useful comes from Toms racing experience, which is that he knows when a car is not handling as it should and how to set it up properly. He has transformed my own car. Perhaps best of all is that a trip to the workshop is always a pleasure. There are always some interesting cars being worked on and the team around Tom are genuinely friendly.

What can I say about Tom at TL Jaguar? Well in my experience he is the Top Man when it come to Jaguars, Classic and the Modern. From what I have seen he can make a Concours Classic for you or the other end of the scale as for myself make one of the best handling and fastest XKR's around.

In between that then if you just want the usual 10,000 mile service he is honest with you as to what needs doing and will give you the choice of any cheaper options that the main dealers would not suggest. I have not found one Owner that I have recommended him to that has come back saying that they were not satisfied with his service.
