Ben B Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hi, I am a new member with a 91 3.9 Classic which I may have bought with 'rose tinted glasses'. I think I have done this *rse about face but could really do with some help assessing whether I can save this old girl. Does anyone know someone in the Kent area who could help me, either a garage (I am willing to pay) or a friendly 'expert' or fellow owner who could give me some support/advice..... Here's hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JourneyMan Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Or there's Stuart Gilbert in Sittingbourne/Faversham 01795 843116. I've not actually used him yet, but he was really helpful on the phone when I was looking for a P38 and he's been recommended on here before. I'm just outside Rochester, PM me if you want.

Cheers Mark Thanks for the tip Mark... what RR do you have? (P.S. I had a rather nice late 2001 P38 which I had a midlife crisis with and added huge sports exhaust system etc..... before I was poor and had to settle for a classic!!!)

Orange Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Evening! I work in Borough Green (live in Larkfield) and have some experience of RRs. I can also bring a friend who has owned Classic RRs for years, so between us we can dampen your spirits brighten your day!! My signature will point you to a couple of threads about my previous projects and give you a few links to what we've experienced over the years! Drop me a PM and we can arrange to come over if you want... Cheers Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
