Morris Minor Owners Club

Ok, I've never set up a poll before, so here goes.

Basically, I'm trying to create some sort of means to "sort the men from the boys" with respect to suppliers / "specialists".

I'm new to restoration, so the market is a potential minefield of good supplier / bad supplier and I dont really want to put any bad parts onto the car, not to mention waste any time or money finding out for myself which are the duffers (and I cant be the only one who wants to know this - right?).

It seems sensible that the newbies like me could benefit from the knowledge of experienced owners/restorers, and by building up a list of the reliable good suppliers, this would encourage the duffers to go out of business, or at least raise their game.

Ok, erm, so I dont really know that many suppliers, but here's some to start. If there's any more, please let me know by PM and I will add them on - good or bad, as the point is to highlight the best, with the worst lingering with the lowest votes.

Sorry, but I am locking this thread. To ask "who are the best" will resut in purely subjective answers as you would only be able to comment on who the best was if you had dealt with all of the traders named, not just some. People would only be in a position to vote for a trader that they had dealt with therefore the results would potentially show the trader that most people use, rather than be an accurate indicator of the service provided. A trader with the lowest vote may well lose customers as a result of this poll, leaving the club open to legal action.

Negative comments are not permitted but people are welcome to recommend good traders here, and frequently do. Anyone intending to use a specific trader but wishing to get feedback from other Minor owners first can do so on this site. Any negative comments would have to be sent via pm as these would contravene the site T&C's.

Any objections, please contact me by pm.
