We are always so pleased when a customer comes back to us after a restoration job to tell us how delighted and happy they are with what we have done.

We’ve inserted a letter and some photos into this section of one particular customer to show potential customers what we can achieve. Please read below.

Chris,

Here are some pictures I took of your handiwork on the TV175 Lambretta.  I said I would let you have some - sorry about the delay. ( I've been having trouble sending them so I'm trying to get them to you in two batches.  There is a total of twelve in all.  The rest will follow this message, all being well.).

You might like to know that I have now sold it.  I advertised it in Scootering magazine - perhaps you saw it.  The chap who bought it was clearly chuffed when he came to view, and once he'd seen it there was no question of him not buying!   He's a vintage transport enthusiast, in his 50s, and he arrived to view the scooter in an MG.  He came last Saturday with a Transit van to take it home to Southampton, where his family couldn't wait to see it, so he told me.   He's got every intention of preserving it as it is as much as possible, he said, and plans to get it on the road early next year, for occasional runs out in good weather.

It was sad to see it go but, as you know, I was under pressure from a certain wife Jessica!  That gap in the garage (and in my life) is going to take some time to get used to after 44 years!  Still, I did manage to put some more miles on the clock after it was restored and before it went away!  It was reassuring to see it go to what I believe to be a good home.  I would not have been happy about selling it to someone who was going to hammer it or turn into one of those chop contraptions you see in the press.  In fact, I wouldn't have done that.

Best regards, Mike.
