A new page, (but with a caveat).

These are all personnel recommendations and not the clubs. In all cases the onus should be with the interested member to make sure that the tradesmen mentioned can do what it is they want them to do and if it helps have a word with the member who has recommended them.

Grendon Garage, Main Street, Grendon Underwood, Bucks HP18 0SW  Tel - 01296 770485
Situated 1/2 mile from the A41, 8 miles north of Aylesbury

Comments........Village located, privately owned good sized garage (4 lifts, MOT brake test rolling road, full spray booth). Can carry our general servicing and MOTs to body repairs and full respray. We have had a number of MOT failure jobs and a respray done on an    XJ-S (not back to bare metal, but they'll do the job you want). At that time the mechanic owned an XJ40.

BRG Classics, Bury Road, Hemel Hempstead  Tel 01442 252640

Comments.........John Hazzard is now the head of this family owned business. He now specialises in non mechanical restoration in general but knows his Jags inside out.
Quality and caring workmanship from a "hands on" boss and I found his charges reasonable.


Carl Howarth, 7 St Helens Road, East Retford, Notts  Tel 01777 705503

Comments........Replica components and and instrument restoration for vintage and classic cars.    Will overwhelm you with what he can do to repair and restore all sorts of instruments and gauges.   Very concientious and reasonable.  Mostly works by post

Motorvation, Unit 4B, 93a Church Lane, Sarratt, Herts WD3 6HH, Tel 01923 268555 
Web www.motorvation.cc

Comments....... I have been impressed with the work, quality of service and prices of Motorvation in Sarratt.     They do not specialise but lean towards the more exotic and classic motor cars.    Will Birrell is the man and he has 3-4 friendly assistants

Sam Clarke, Clarke Engineering, 47 Hilltop, Redbourn, Herts  AL3 7JG  Tel 01582 794895  Mob 07745 917 379

Comments.......I think it only right that I give Sam's details after all the good work he has carried out on my XJS.
Sam's a friendly bloke who I think brings a sense of TLC to the various problems that can arise. He's also reasonably priced. If you have any problem with your car please give him a call and mention either me or the club.

Dave Spurgeon, D&C Autos, 27 Parkway, Burnt Oak, Edgware , Tel 0208951 5646

Comments.....I handed my pride and joy over to Dave to carry out its annual service for the first time with , I must say , slight nerves. However I shall return year after year. Five star service from a guy that loves jags. He kept me informed on what was going on without having to chase him and the bill at the end even made the wife smile! Top guy top garage.
