Any RR Shadow experts around?

Could any experienced Shadow owners suggest a really good engineer for body and mechanical work, on a Shadow II? (Without going totally OTT, like P&A Wood, I mean.)

Happy to go anywhere in the UK, I would expect the best people to be in the South, as that is where most of the cars are.

Paul Yorke must be one of the leading experts on Silver Shadows.
If he doesn't know it, it probably isn't worth knowing.

OK worth a try. I really need a specific name, preferably a recommendation. I want an estimate, then I want them to do a good job. Simple enough, but there are so many people out there who either can't be bothered responding unless you tell them money's no object, or who want to rip you off.

Had a less than satisfactory and very expensive experience with him and not finding any great eagerness to resolve the issues either.

Why would you expect a single individual to work miracles with all aspects of a rather complex car?

I don't, but I need someone who is familiar with and understands the cars. Most specialists will farm out the bodywork and other specialist items anyway, but hopefully at least they know what they are doing. I am also not looking for miracles.

I would recommend having a conversation with Ian at Tanworth garage - they do not market themselves as a RR specialist, but Ian is with these cars, and he has an excellent bodywork man down the road.
