This is a very interesting topic,im thinking of getting another coupe (the pinning will not stop )do solo Italia do full restorations including spray jobs, my thought is to buy a model in poor shape and have a full resto done instead of one that is already safe from the scrappers.S. Jay
JBT at Midlands Car Servicing in Shepshed nr. Loughborough is entrusted with the rolling restoration on mine and cannot rate him highly enough. Given the work required he is also good value for money IMO and is closer to you
