My friend has a really nice Integrale Evo 2 which was rebuilt and maintained by John Whalley at Bishops Stortford.
He lives abroad and has found out today that they are no longer in business, he had planned for the car to go there for a service and MOT etc next month and needs to find somewhere very good to send it, lots of people say they are Lancia specialists, can someone please recommend a firm that they have had good experience with (specifically with Integrales only please)

I have used J Whalley and your friend will not be disappointed with the team at AI I have been using them for 10 years +.

It depends where the car is, there are various good specialists throughout the country.

Ditto.

When I lived in London I would take the day off work, drive to Walkers and catch the train back. Then do the reverse a week later!

Really? I would be interested in your experiences. i've always found them to be really good - if a little chaotic - but havent used them for a couple of years now.

How recent was your bad experience & what was it? - I ask because, on the odd occasions I have my lancia up in town, I get them to look at it

Shout out for Tanc Barratt - I know it wasn't a 'Grale but my lovely little HF Turbo I had a few years back had this curious running problem that I (or another specialist) couldn't get to the bottom of.
Tanc B diagnosed it on my first 'phone call & stone me when I got her back she ran perfectly.

Top quality service & knowledge.

I'd be interested in hearing too as I love Gonella Brothers smile and if we're being picky, their in Catford ;-) , not a lot that Pasquale down there doesn't know about Italian engines ... I would have any Italian car I owned there in a heart beat as i have in the past ....

I would recommend Howard at Allitalia, he looked after mine when I had it. I used to drive down from Inverness, leave the car at his, then fly back home! Blimey I was keen back then!
