It might be worth contacting Braydon Motor Company in London E5, they have an Amazon specialist and restorer working from their premises.

There is a link to them on my site.

Probably best to speak to Bernie or his son Matt.

Regards, Don.

That's Deaconcraft, run by Noddy, who was Tony Barrett's chief mechanic (before Tony joined forces with Braydon). He doesn't do bodywork, but a few arches further down there's Junior, who also used to do Tony's bodywork. I haven't got hs number to hand, but Noddy will be able to put you in touch with him.

The only other Amazon specialists that I know of are one in Oxford, and two in East Anglia, & there's also a mail order parts place in Ipswich.

If he wants a top-dog job he could talk to Lance at Romance of Rust. He was doing a saloon when I went there, and he's had a wagon for about 18yrs as his daily. The guy's a genius and his rates aren't high. But he does do quality work only and is always deservedly busy.

Do you know what his hourly rate is, or is it really on a job-by-job basis?

He does top class resto's and rebuilds only as far as I know. Not in-out wing replacement etc etc. He's an old-school panel beater / metal worker / car builder.
