Hi Hooked146, and welcome to the madhouse of CA.
What you say brings back fond memories - I had a TR2 (not BRG though). Modded it slightly with short doors and TR3a front apron. Many of my mates also had similar motors, and I spent many an hour trying to extract the 'removeable' wet liners. Eventually dismantled it after being hit badly by some twat, and went on to an XK150 DHC.
I've never been to Bluewater either, but I have not found anything that Carrefour cannot provide - and I have been going to LM for more years than I would like to admit, but as a clue, I did see the GT40s running before they won!!
Get you act together, and make the trip again asap, even if you have to bring SWMBO.
