Again not Berks but not too far away, Ewelme Coachworks www.tvrbodyrepairs.com south of Oxford are excellent - I had a full respray last winter - after a great deal of research on PH and elsewhere. Lots of Tivs there for all manner of body repairs etc. Worth a chat with Paul.

I went to Ewelme in January 2006 for a front end respray. Nightmare. Job took a long time and finish is poor. Two rings have appeared. One on the bonnent and the other on the nose of the car. There is more and I will not bore you here. Cost £1200.
Go elsewhere.

If you want to go further afield, my Griff has gone into MGS coach works in Purley, Surrey (last week) and is due back sometime this week.

Their work is excellent and they are one of the World's best Alfa Romeo restorers.
