Hello. Can anyone recommend a good place in the London and South England area to take my 1800 for a good seeing to? Want to get the engine re conditioned, the interior re trimmed and leathered, and finally a re spray and re chrome. Cheers. Simon - meaty.pies@virgin.net

Simon - Just read your notice.

I'm looking to do the same and would be really keen to hear your thoughts on who was good at who wasn't! I need to do an unleaded conversion, some interior work, chrome my bumpers and bodywork.

Thanks
Charlie

Hi Bob,
I am new to the forum and live near Salisbury. I saw your post and tried to contact Tony Miles but the phone number did not work. I then typed in his name and found an obituary. Do you know if any of his team are still doing this or anyone else that you could recommend. I have put a post out on the forum but without luck so far.
Kind Regards,
john

They are in southern England, not sure how far from you but if you're doing a P1800 resto then the main thing is to get someone who will do a proper job. They aren't a easy car to repair.

Ask for Noddy & Junior.

Any mechanical or body work I don't do myself, I go to them.
Great blokes!
Excellent work!!

Wasn't this firm previously known as Templar & Wilde?
