Where to repair Muira?

[bryn_p]

Morning all,

I've just acquired a Muira that's had a light roll and needs body panels/roof either replacing, fabricating or expertly panel beating.

Where in the UK (or Europe) is the place to have this done?

Cheers,
Bryn.

Definitely an option, just wondering what others there might be...

carrosserie.co.uk did the last one I know about ( A Green Miura S), that was crashed and badly repaired in the 70s.
Engine was done by Colin Clarke I think.

DK Engineering in Chorleywood, or Mototechnique in West Molesey Surrey. Dean Lanzante would be worth talking to as well.

who managed to roll a Miura? fair play to him!

A 'light' roll? Didn't realise there was such a thing. Hoyle/Fox is my suggestion.

It's when a car is repairable rather than not.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I've certainly been impressed with what I've seen of Mototechnique's work on the F40 restoration project on Ferrarichat.

Cheers,

Colin Clarke did the work on the Miura we have in stock at Amari.

Yes do speak to Colin Clarke!

[bryn_p]

Thanks again gents, he looks like the man for the job!

Cheers,
Bryn.

Didn't Andrew Cliffe of Omicron work on a Miura restoration in the past?

How did anybody called Andrew resist the UI ?

I couldn't and expected one ahead of me

FYI Colin Clarke primarily does engineering work but uses reputable experts for specialised chassis, body, paint etc etc. He has restored a large number of Miuras over the years.

See post 4 above - I suspect you'll find going direct will be considerably cheaper than thru.

Highly recommend Cheshire classic Cars who I bought a Ferrari off last year. They did a full restoration on a Miura which is all fully documented. Was better than factpry when completed. They're great people to deal with.

There's details about it here that are well worth looking at anyway:
