I'm looking for a specialist in the north west, preferably in the cheshire area but I don't mind travelling to lancs etc.. any ideas?

would prefer to avoid dealers as I only use them for to get the valuable service stamp

thanks

You can't beat Phoenix Motorsport in Accrington. Very knowledgeable about Elises/VX's of all descriptions and they do a good job at a fair price.

They also have a cool Dog-in-a-box™ to entertain the customers while they wait .


Phoenix Motorsports
Unit 7, Duckworth St, Church, Accrington, Lancashire BB5 4LQ
Tel: 01254 384071

Have a look at www.blinkmotorsport.com ........ Richard is well clued up, isn't expensive, and looks after many Elises, Caterhams, and Westfields belonging to a large proportion of BookaTrack custumers!!

Give Ian a ring at www.torquervt.co.uk/ although he specialises in TVR's he used to work for Lotus & TVR dealer before setting up on his own. (plus he is fantastic & really knows his stuff)

As he spends every waking moment working on cars you may want to try calling again later (He will be working until about 4am if it is a usual day) He has now employed a office manager so hopefully she may answer your e-mail.
