I take it that Mike is highly regarded? Is he a VX or Elise specialist?

I think Horizon were a TVR specialist but did a lot of work with Loti and their vairants, their geo is spot on.

Had a mail drop from them this morning... now called Sports Car Services. Don't appear to have a website yet - the old one is still running though. Will be interesting to see how their prices compare... always up for a bit of competition in the Midlands. Their new email is info@sportscar-services.co.uk

Just got back from seeing Mike and Wendy and the new unit's really coming together now, He's got space for about 10 cars under cover so no more leaving them outside, and a couple of lifts, there was a Moonland VX in there and an Elise being worked on. Mike's just happy again to be back doing what he enjoys and is very good at, I've booked my 4th service / belts / balancer deletion / short belt mod in with him fo a couple of weeks time. I'm really pleased its all come together again for Mike and I'm sure he'll be very sucessfull.

Great news!
Just booked my 50k service with them, very helpful

The postcode at the top is wrong (blame Mike apparently)

It should be B63 3UA
