Anyone who's in the south east area needing a thier car checked over I can highly recommend Roberto at Grimaldi Enineering . Brakes were squeaking a bit on my SV so popped down to Roberto who free of charge checked them over and honestly informed me there was nothing abnormal and the brake pads + discs still had plenty of wear left . I suggested skimming the disc's as there is some wear and Roberto quite rightly said it was not the thing to do , spoken to a few people after who have confirmed the same . So booked the old gal in for a full service , I thought she drove pretty good before but after picking the car up last Friday I have to say what a difference . The car is more responsive and feels tighter , corners better and sounds a whole lot more grunty . Valve clearences were checked , oils dropped etc and a few minor issues addressed . All for a not so big hammering of the wallet . I can see why he is so busy , some cracking cars to check over there too . A friendly reception , cup of tea on arrival , a full description of work done , and the benefit of Roberto's experience plus peace of mind are some of the benefits you may not already be getting . ! Well done Grimaldi Engineering . wink

roberto and his team did a fantastic job on my 881/2 countach, and annabel worked hard in keeping me throughly informed on the progress of the work while i was abroad.She worked just as hard in keeping me in food and drink and whenever i went to their workshop

what was most refreshing was roberto's honesty in what did NOT need doing

and the car was transformed after he had had his hands on it

the only drawbacks with grimaldi are that they are booked up well in advance (but i think that there is a message in that) and are located on the other side of the country to me

couldn't recommend them more ---- as go have gathered i'm a huge fan

Saw your car there on Friday ade/lou , looked awesome ( like it did at silverstone classic ), according to Roberto it is the most stunning example of it's type he has seen . Mechanically immaculate was the words I think he used . Nothing wrong with being poor mate if you've got the car well sorted . thumbup

Where are they based? Is it in England or Italy? Google is giving me different results

They are based in Halstead in Essex. Just yards away from Eurospares. Both exceptional companies.
