Stumbled across the wackiest specialist in Devon today
Discussion
Completely bonkers place, Oaktree Grarage in Newton Poppleford, Devon. Apparently been there for years and years. Loads of exotica peppered around and the proprietor Crispin a complete apparent eccentric. What a find. Anyone over the years been there?
I was on my way to SCS Porsche in Honiton when I spotted a delapidated purple 964 festering outside what appeared to be a shed so investigated. What a find!!!!!!

I knew a 944 owner who'd used Crispin & that was quite a while ago
Hello chum! Didn’t I buy an Alfa Romeo from you a few years back? 
It was X48AUX last MOT was 2006 so presumably now gone to Alfa heaven :-(
Shame as it was a great car.
The 944 owner I was thinking about was Fen Coul who quite a while ago moved to NZ & shortly after had a bad MTB accident & is now in a wheel chair permanently.
