Who would be interested in doing some fairly minor / cosmetic work on the integrale to keep it in good order.

Would like someone fairly local (To Stoke) who produces good quality work and a bit more into restoration, preventative maintenance than crash repair stuff.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys. Will definitely check out Don Law if only to see what they have in...

Market Drayton would not be a problem either.

I tale it you have some link to Smith knight fay PLamborghini? Not the most obvious choice otherwise!!!!

You saw it last year at Cholmondeley wink. There were 2 'Grale's going around the circuit, Nick's right hand drive version, and the other one is the ex works car that Don Law picked up from a customer in the Far East that wasn't able to pay a bill, so he took the integrale as payment silly

Justin was trying VERY hard on his final run to get the fastest tome of the day, hence why the rear wing is missing in the second photo!

I've got permission to install my video camera in the car at Race Retro when Miki Biasion will be demonstrating it on the live stage and I may even get a passenger ride

Aha... sorry not made the connection. Definitely worth popping down there then its only 15 mins from me.

A ride in an ex works 'grale next to MB. Now thats a bit of a "Jim'll fix it" moment.

Just to say I collected my car from VHC Motorsport in Pool Dam Newcastle, Staffordshire yesterday and delighted with the results.

Really friendly car people who work on some really interesting vehicles. They sub out painting only to another local firm close by with modern spray booth set up but clearly have an understanding with them about the quality required.

Did anyone one see the Dodge Race Truck at Race Retro? Well that is their handy work.

Thanks for suggestions everyone.
