My car is up with Ryan at the moment. He is doing a full change of colour respray and some repairs. Great guy, great communication, a warranty on his work, knows what he is talking about and seems very thorough. Most importantly he seems to have been honest so far! I will let you know more and post pics when the car is finished.

I got a good feeling from him when I met him on Friday. Seems to know what he's talking about.

I type of know him having meet him and seen some of his work if it the guy I am thinking of. As I understand it he briefly worked for TVR for a week or so when just out of automotive design school. He left with one of TVR's design team (the guy had employed him at TVR) to move over to Marcos as thing went south at TVR. Marcos then went south sometime later.

He worked with Melling for a while and is infamous for in discussion of the merits of Speed 6 engine with BossCerbera.

He repaired a Fairclps' T350 after it was destroyed at 70mph during an aqua plane. The car was in a really bad way and Ryan recreated moulds etc. The car was purchased from the breakers.

I saw him last at the Cheshire Festival of Speed. He'd just restored a Cerb that had serious accident damage. The car did look impressive, but I am no expert with fibreglass.

He seems a honest young guy with a gift for fibre glass.

Go and see him.
