PPI for a car in Bristol

Hi All.

Who would you use for a pre-putchase inspection for a car in the centre of Bristol? The car is a 1970 911. I have done some research and Bristol doesn't seem to have any well know specialists.

If no recommendations close to Bristol does anybody use Oak Tree Garage near Exeter these days and is Chrispin Manners still involved there on a day to day basis?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Ian.

Hi Ian, yes, Crispin is very much still on the go, and would probably be the best local guy for that age of car.
Oak Tree Garage 01395 568498

Cheers!

Thank you JW, that is a good back up option. A fair way to get the guy to take the car so still hoping for something closer to Bristol centre. I have already discounted OPC Bristol on a car that age but maybe that is premature.

Are you doing the inaugural Watergate Bay event coming up?

Ian.

No, unfortunately. We are competing in the MSA Leaders' Hillclimb Championship again this year, and the round at Doune, just outside Stirling is that weekend, which we don't want to miss. I hope that Watergate Bay gets good weather and plenty of spectators. The local clubs have worked really hard for a long time to pull it off.

Wow that is a long way to be going!! Looks like WB has great potential and hugely oversubscribed I believe. It clashes with something I wanted to do at Kop Hill that weekend but I am going to support WB instead by going to spectate as it will be great to have it be a success.

That is not a bad shout as he is an hour from Bristol where as Chrispin is about 1:45 away.
