I am currently rebuilding the engine in my 1988 3.2L
Can anyone recommend a quality, reliable machine shop that can replace valve guides, cut seats and twin plug the heads ?

Hello,

so be prepared for a wait.

got any pictures of your car, we can look at while we wait

Try giving these guys a ring, they have built race bike engines for me in the past and nothing seems to much trouble.

Where about in the UK are you? I know a place near MK that is pretty good with most machine work. Their claim to fame is helping Jaguar with a few blocks/heads over the years.
