Series Specialists

I'm hoping to acquire a 1949/50 Series 1 in the next week or two. It's structurally perfect, but needs a thorough mechanical overhaul.

I would have liked to have taken it to Philip at Dunsfold DLR, but sadly he's no longer operating his business.

Does anyone know of a good Series specialist in Gloucestershire, London, Surrey, or generally somewhere south of Cambridge?

Cheers! Charlie

Jon is the one who currently has the vehicle I’m off to see, but he’s not taking on any mechanical work for 6 months.

Julian is going to give me a call later today
