Does any one have the details of the painter in Newbury who painted the Cobra a few year back?

From Nigel Dean's website.......Painting the body

"Painting is probably the one job all builders outsource, myself included. Finding a decent paint shop can be difficult and many come from personal recommendation. In my case I used Berkshire Bodyshop based in Newbury who do all the paintwork for Sovereign Cars of Whitchurch (Cobra specialists). Taking a staggering four weeks and nearly £4,500, the end result is sensational. The reason for the rather lengthy timescale is due mainly to preparation, and my shut lines pay testimony to the skills of Andy who did all the work on my Tojeiro"

More details here if you haven't seen Nigel's own website..........

I've seen that site, but it doesn't say who the body shop is and there quite a few in Newbury (one of which I can confirm is rubbish as I had them do some work on my Coupe). I suppose I could email him - didn't think of that till now :lol: :)

I got a reply, it was Berkshire Bodyshop (01635 550665) only this is these are the people that did a sub par job repairing my coupe so I think I shall find an alternative!
