You mean Peter Smith's of Hatton?
He has a bit of a reputation for being expensive.
Nearly bought by car from him but the arrogant T**T told me that he didn't do Elise's that cheap (was spending over 20K ) and then showed me the S2 which had just arrived at the time then told me "but of course you can't afford that"
Paul Matty's in Bromsgrove, Birmingham. good specialist and now Nick Whale also in Bromsgrove who I know are very helpful
