A is for ...
Looks like the body restoration of this TR3A in going to be keeping Mick out of mischief for a while. The owner has owned the car since the 60’s, but it has been off the road since the 80’s. It will be great to get it back on the road again after all this time. Panel replacement is to include sills, floors and rear apron, to name but a few.
For a number of years we have been supplied with panels manufactured by CPP at Coventry. So it was with surprise and sadness when we learned recently that the company had gone under. I won’t go into the details of the why’s, what’s and wherefores now, (though the more curious of you may want to Google the saga, it makes for interesting reading) but as you can imagine, our concern was whether we would still be able get a good supply of panels. We needn’t have worried though. CPP have been taken over by Coventry based, design and engineering company Envisage. I visited them recently to pick up their first batch of panels for us. I was very pleased to see that they have retained most of the original and highly skilled workforce, the workshops are full and buzzing with activity, and the panels I came back with are of the same high quality. This all bodes well for a good supply of the best panels available for the coming years.
A customer recently said that they hadn’t realized what a large stock of spares that we kept. So I thought; if he was unaware, maybe you are too. I could just say, ‘visit the website for spare parts, blah de blah de blah’, but that would be boring. I know, why not I compile a SPARE PART ALPHABET! However, taking into account the magazines Christmas breaks, I reckon this approach is going to take me to about September 2014. Be interesting to see if I get to Z!
