Foster and Heanes in Dogmersfield (just outside Fleet).

They do a perfect job for the MOT on my Caterham (even let me sit in it on the ramps ;-) ) and look after many many classic cars from Capris, Sprites, my friends Campervan, they had an original million pound Cobra there the other day, and an MG Metro! So are sympathetic to requirements..

The owner is a great chap, called Bob who owns, among other toys, the Wheeler Dealers Z1!

They are very well known and very respected.

Hart Motor Company near Winchfirld are very good. Been taking the kit car and tin tops there for years. Only €29 and no pressure to do any work.

It would be a trip down memory lane to use these guys, used to use them all the time when I lived in Fleet many years ago. My mum even worked as their receptionist for many years! Didn't realise they'd expanded so much..

1966 Daimler 250 V8. There was an E-Type in the 'shop when I arrived, so I had a good feeling straight away!
