I'm looking for somewhere good for working on classic porsches. I have a fair bit for work planned, rust etc plus some tosser has left a dent in my rear wing this week. Needs to be near Beckenham, south London. I've had an excellent shop near Guildford but nearer would be a lot easier. Any recommendations? Cheers.

Look good but a bit of a trek for me I'm afraid...

Seriously, for a fair bit of work, beckenham to guildford is only like 40 miles, if you have a bodyshop that you can trust.
You could get it towed there and back for a couple of hundred quid
There are people here that will travel from london to midlands for a service!

I've used Bodycraft in Surbiton and I have a colleague who used to work there so the original recommendation came from him. Ask for Eric, who owns the place - very polite and he did a great job on my cracked rear bumper. When I was there I saw quite a few classic Ferrari's, a Mustang, one or two race cars. You'd never know from the front!

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll phone around tomorrow morning.

Tino - fair point but part of me wants to shop around too.
