Rolling road tuning for SU carbs on Jaguar E Type

[Stretty]

Can anyone recommend a decent classic car tuner in Beds / Herts / Bucks / Cambs area? Reasonable price and won't bloe my engine up?
Thanks in advance and retard.

I have used Wilshers (Peter Baldwin) near Wimpole, but the rolling road there has closed. Peter is now at
www.regency-autos.co.uk in Cambridge, his son runs the rolling road under Peter's tutelage. Nothing but praise for his work on my 1980 Morgan +8, 4L 290bhp. He only used to work on carburetted cars.

Try contacting the MG owners club.

Its the sort of organisation that would keep list of places who still look after SU's.

Or, a local (to you) restorations specialist.

Pete was a carb tuning genius back in the day, so if he's trained his lad to be anywhere near as good then well worth a try, given he's in the area you are looking for.

Had about 4 different cars tuned by Pete back in the day when he used to operate out of Marshall's of Cambridge.

Done plenty of my race engines, including SU’s.

I can recommend Revivals in Thriplow. They do a lot of classic British cars and are very knowledgeable. You want Richard working on your car;; proper old school. Mechanic.

Many thanks - I've had several positive reviews for this guy, and am booked in for next week.

Has anyone here actually had any work done by his son- is Pete still active/overseeing things?

+1 Peter is brilliant. The new rolling road is properly calibrated too👍

Pete must be 80 odd now......I'm sure he was in his early/mid 40's when I used to use his RR at Marshall's in the mid 80's...........!
