Body Shop in High Wycombe/Marlow area.

[gruffalo]

Hello all,

I am looking for somewhere good to send a friends dad's MG Midget to for a full strip and re-spray.

It has some rust but not major and it needs doing over a specific month. The poor chap is going into hospital for a session of Chemotherapy which will have him in isolation for a month and we want to get his project car finished for him while he is in there so when he comes out he can enjoy the summer pottering around in her.

Any suggestions please, budget is circa £3K but can push that up a bit if needed.

Cheers
Gruff

I'd be interested too as akways struggled to find somewhere good in the area.

I've used three bodyshops in High Wycombe, and the best (as in the only one the car didn't have to go back to for further rectification afterwards) was Colourbox - a one man band on Chapel Lane. His workshop is now been turned into a housing estate and I think the business has moved to Abercromby Avenue. The phone number is 01494 471162.

I've not used him myself, but I've seen a few recommendations over the past few years on SELOC (a lotus owners forum) for this place:

Thanks that looks good, will give them a ring and see what they can offer.

Will also try that place in Abercrombie Avenue so thanks both for you input.

Cheers

Peter is the man.
He used to be on 07795 561503 and probably still is.
Tell him that Nigel sent you.
