To be honest not alot - but nice to know there is one near by.

Plan on Cobra Classic seat with head rests, maybe a cage, 048 tyres, maybe a tune up at some point - but it is damn fast already (with the Cooper S 90 bhp twin carb mods done), maybe cam, roller rockers, and an over bore at some point - have used Steve Harris motorsport near Salisbury for my Tr alot - an may get him to do the engine when it is needed - long way off as it is so good anyway - Taraka first!

Maybe you should keep a bit clear of the one mentioned. High prices and not a very good reputation.
I could tell you what happened to a friend of mine's Cooper 'S' rally car at that certain place, but I won't do so on here.

not Surrey but close , these have a good reputation and AC Dodd is an A series specialist ( bit like Cooperman ).

I will have to ditto this.

If you are looking for engines, OAP, Bill Richards are both close for Surrey. If you are looking for goode service I used to use Sanspeed of Bexlyheath, only for RR set ups, good service, friendly people.

Steve Harris has just moved a couple of miles down the road from his place in Cranborne. As well as all the engine and tuning work he would be able to supply seats, cage and tyres etc, possible fit them too but personally i think your better of doing that yourself.
