Dave Smith Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 You could speak to John Cowley at Blakedown Sports Cars 07976 427248, he is based near Kidderminster, which is very close to Stourbridge and knows TR's very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Mark The asking price of the car? private or trade? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grahamgl Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi Mark, You could try Simon Andrews of Worcester Classic Cars, he is an expert on TRs, 01905 345805. A nice knowledgeable chap, he inspected my 4A down in Dorset for me before I bought it. He gave me his opinion and the potential costs of work that was necessary. Stourbridge is near to Worcester.

OAF939M Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Mark, That looks to be a really good car which has had a lot spent on it, take one of the chaps who have offered to look at it,and hopefully then buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CONCRETE24 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi Mark, I always use Deftera motors in Windsor (in the arches) for my MOT. The owner has been there for ever and runs a Morris Minor traveller as his everyday car. He is always pragmatic about any minor issues - e.g. he just replaced a dodgy bulb without charging me when it was the only issue last time round - some wouldn't. He only does MOT's so he won't try and convince you to carry out unnecessary work. http://www.deftera-mot-centre.co.uk/ I have used JY Classics at Little Kingshill for any major work - there's also Beech Hill Garage on the A4 near Reading that I've been meaning to try - might be worth a look?
