Lack of Lotus garages in Essex

[MGFCUP]

Does anyone know of anyone who works on Lotus Esprits in the Essex or Suffolk area . I,m just too busy to work on my cars at the moment and they both need a few jobs doing but not enough to warrant a trailer journey to Norfolk or London. I,m sure there must be someone .
I,m in the Colchester area.
Any Ideas,.

87 H/C G

Thanks ,

I was living in hope of somewhere closer. Barry Ely looks favourite as he collects .

If I can track anywhere down near Chelmsford or Colchester / Ipswich I ,ll let you know .

Don't want to get into this too much, but I'd avoid Barry's. Or if you really must, pay a visit to his 'showroom' first, then see if that's how you'd like your car treated.

Thanks ,
I appreciate your opinion ,I went to look at a car there about 10 years ago and your current description fits but at the moment its a case of I have no time and I need help !!So far out of all the people I,ve rung Strattons are the only ones to call me back .Its great when its attached to a 'c' service everyone is interested but when its a few minor jobs people seem to expect you have time to do it yourself !!!

Anyway I,ll keep on knocking on every garage in essex till I find one that is capable .

I am sort of in your situation as I am in SE London. I used LLC 'till it transferred over to Maranello's Ferrari . Now I am looking around to for a decent garage. I heard Nelmes (of Romford?) was taken over by someone, not sure who, maybe:

Maybe you might have seen these already?

Think Nelmes faded in to Sinclaires who apparently used to be Nelmes bodyshop!! if that makes sense.Tried to book my HC in for a C service and they never returned my calls.I,m finding quite a few steering clear of G type esprits .Anyone know Lyte & Wakefield is it ?
