Helpfully I can't rember the actual rates but it is different for different jobs. It's about £50 and hour I think.

Surely not for your 993 - East London give a discount for older cars; they used to charge me around £85/hr when I had my 993tt. I think all OPCs do.

There's another chap just off-off centre of Edinburgh - Porsche trained and much respected - but he can handle only one car at a time and cannot store any overnight. The only "outhouse" I go to is in Sighthill for the occasional geometry check.


Would that be to see 'Willie' by any chance?...

Barry; I use Bourne performance. They do everything. They had my car with the engine out, a Lotus with the engine out and a horse box with the axles off!
Top guys. I also use parr for suspension setup and parts.

Sounds like Willie at CLCM. Top place to go to have the car set up.
