Hi Ian,
Not heard of anyone so far, Cummings in Bodmin always have lots of P cars, although mostly 4x4, they may know of someone?

There's no-one west of Exeter who I would trust with either of those cars.

Cheers!

Yes we are moving James.

And yes we will need a house with several garages !

Bl**by hell Exeter is a long way to go each time I need some work doing. So make that a house with serveral garages and a large fully fitted out workshop LOL.

Who by Exeter would you trust?

A clean shaven Crispin! :shock: :albino:

He's still just a blow-in - hasn't been here much over 40 years.........

Welcome to the wild west! If it's just servicing,or everything except engine or gearbox rebuilds, I always use Crossroads Garage in Crowlas. (01736 740880 ask for Paul)
They have quite a few local early Porsches in and always have done a good job for me for many years.
My 993 is going in on Monday for it's annual, rates £35 per hr which is very reasonable.
Anything like an engine rebuild and I would also recommend Chrispin.
