Best / Honest Morris Garage in Devon?

Post by oliverlane89 »

Afternoon

I've already introduced myself elsewhere - have recently bought my first car, a 1966 convertible which I'm keeping and driving on the farm in Devon. As well as something to get me around, I'm hoping she's also going to be a useful aid in my crusade to better understand the mechanical workings, and maintenance of classic cars.

In the meanwhile, I would really like to have her looked at by a competent mechanic who knows Minors, and who preferably isn't going to dream up faults to defraud me of my money. She has a recent, clean MOT but this was performed by the garage which sold me the car and is consequently, I believe, not to be entirely trusted.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Good experiences? We're right in East Devon, on the Dorset border, so relatively near Axminster way.

All advice welcome.

That looks wonderful! Don't know any Devon garages but our dealings with Charles Ware in Bristol have been totally satisfactory over the past 10 years. Not cheap but very professional.

I've seen Tim Lang Classics Ltd ( Three Bridges, Bradford On Tone , TA4 1EN Taunton ) work and its very good - Pricey though but it could be said you get what you pay for ? and obviously "a cross the boarder" in Somerset - Good Luck !
