We do really enjoy continuing looking after these cars when they get sold on or passed down through a family…
Our first call this morning was in Romsey, and lovely to meet Andy who had taken on his fathers car, a very tidy TF 135. We had previously worked on this car when owned by Kent, his father a couple of times over the last 5 years. The cambelt was now due so we replaced this, plus water pump, tensioner and full service too. The HT leads had crumbled so new ones fitted.
We then went over to Ferndown, where it was really great to meet Dave and David. It so happens that they live just around the corner from Kent, who had very kindly recommended us to them some time ago, when a then 15 year old David was showing an interest in his TF 135.
After almost a year of searching for the right car, David found this TF 160, having previously belonged to Joe & Nicki, of which we had also worked on about 4 years ago in Ramsgate.
Dave then got in touch and asked if we could carry out the cambelt service when we were next in the area.
David has done so much to this car so far, with tons of passion and enthusiasm, it’s so good to see.
Lovely to see Kent who popped round to say hello, what an enjoyable day in great company. Big thank you, to Veronika, for the array of treats and especially the homemade carrot cake.
