Rich - I have used Chris Gregory in Knaresborough and he is very good. Usually has a fair selection of expensive cars in for work and seems to be well regarded (I went to him on recommendation from the guys on here and he didn't let me down).

He did the front end on the Z and I would have used him for the Ferrari if needed.

I dealt with Alton Cars (formerly RC Jones) in Barnsley after someone reversed into me. Heard plenty of horror stories about how much of a pig Electric Orange is to match, but the job looks factory finish.

Had some pretty nice motors there too. My car was the cheapest in the place, by some considerably distance.

My Cerbera has just been in there and the paint work is fantastic. If you pop in now you will see it having some more work carried out by Chris and his boys.

Another vote for Chris Gregory. Had my Cerbera's front end resprayed there a few months back and was very impressed.

I saw yours in there last time I was in Mick. I asked if it was yours and he while he searched his memory to connect name and car I just said, "did you find a bag of rice in the centre console and the exhaust held on with cable ties?" Ah yes hehe

Ha ha ha ha very good Al and your spot on. It's just had its 12k service and tappets along with an MOT and a few replacements. Chris had it after my silly bump and did a mighty fine job. It went back in for a few details sorting and I picked it up this afternoon. Car is running and looking fantastic thanks to TvR and Chris. Had a perfect drive back home in this afternoons sun. smile
