Based in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, Carizma was formed in 1998 by Thomas Freeman and Benn Padfield and have been involved in the TVR world right from the start.
Initially carrying out cosmetic improvements for a local TVR dealer, this soon progressed to accident repairs and major works including upgrades and modifications. Through the years we have also carried out a lot of warranty work for the TVR factory in Blackpool.
Reliable choice for insurers
Recommendations soon meant that we started building our own customer base which led to various insurance companies recognising that we were a reliable choice, repairing cars for customers where their own ‘approved’ repairers could not.
Custom modifications
Inevitably along the way clients have asked us to improve and modify their cars so we have carried out many headlamp and rear lamp conversions as well as fitting various spoilers and bonnet modifications. The fitting of clear indicators in the older cars has proved very popular and we have recently started fitting stainless steel dashboards into Chimearas to replace the wooden type which are often prone to crack and peel.
Complete TVR paint colour library
We have spent a lot of time building up a complete TVR colour library so colour matching is never too much of a problem. We also stock a comprehensive library of the special colours that TVR have a reputation for using such as the ‘Chameleon and Reflex’ flip paints.
Growing reputation for Ferrari repairs
We are now building a reputation amoungst the Ferrari fraternity having carried out many repairs for owners and are building a good working relationship with local Ferrari specialist, Shiltech Performance Cars.
As with TVR, word of mouth has enabled us to be recommended by Ferrari owners from all around the country and we have established an excellent reputation for our quality, knowledge and an understanding of these types of cars – a knowledge that has benefited from being enthusiastic owners of both marques ourselves.
