My 2.4S was in with Andy for a load of work pre Christmas & then back in January to check everything was bedding in. Andy mentioned the move, sounded excited by the shift to bigger premises. Certainly need more space judging by the variety of cars in; a handful of 356s at least 4 2.7RS, an original Martini RSR, 2 904 & a 550. A wonderful Looking SWB 911S imported from Tokyo.
I am delighted by the quality of work & Andy's accessibility to discuss everything while doing the work. Mark who did most of the work was great. They will definitely have my car for anything it needs moving forward.
I think any suggestion the business is at risk does not reflect what I saw or experienced.

I didn't indicate it was, I mentioned about the change in direction as Andy was going alone. Others leaving the team to go else where is never a good sign for some one who has invested in their skill base over so many years as an employer.

I can't wait to see the new place and how it goes. It's another step forward for him.. good luck to him.. :-)

Good to hear that!

Sorry I'm not sure this is going to happen. I did get a quick reply from Andy suggesting maybe Late Jun/Jul but nothing firm. I will probably not chase again as they are probably quite busy working :)
