Can anyone recommend a specialist in Kent/East Sussex who would be able to check out any potential purchase?

Having read through here I know the AA/RAC won't pick up on the things which a specialist would so if I don't go for a dealer car I'd like to get a pro to check any potential buy over.

Cheers,
Tim

Lakeside or Sinclairs or Steve Williams Lotus all specialists with excellent reputations - give them a call and see what they can do.

OK, I need to drag this one back up there as I've now had an offer accepted and I need a check done to make sure the car's OK.

Sinclaires sounds good but you have to get it to them to check it which is going to be a PITA.

Anyone got any experience with Fibreglass Services in Arundel (this is where it had its last service done) as they are the nearest I think.

Either that or anyone in Kent or Sussex that could do the check?

I use Fibreglass Services for my car and they're excellent - Miles is a real Lotus nut - he owns six I think!!

I used a guy called Rob Ingleby for an inspection - he is mobile so he can visit the car for you and will give a report. He specialises in TVRs but Adrian Blyth recommended him to me. His no is 07799142860.

Lakeside Engineering are a bit closer to you than Sinclaires. They are highly praised specialists and based in Surry.

Cheers Cuzza, that's peace of mind for me 'cos they did the last service and they're closest.

Hopefully won't be long now!
