One of my Classic Car friends is going to be moving to (shock horror) Essex,

at the end of the month, she owns a 1976 MGB Roadster and would like to know a decent garage, I've looked in my MGOC Recommended Suppliers 2008-2010 and have the following garages

If anyone knows of any and can tell me if they are any good that would be much appreciated

Colne Classics - Clacton
Chisbon Restorations - Colchester
Roy Tolley Ltd. - Colchester
Peter Edney Classic and Sports Cars - Great Dunmow
Mark Fish - Harlow
John E Palmer - Hatfield Heath
Lower Barn Classic Cars - Ipswich
Octarine Service - Leigh - On - Sea
J & A Talmage - Ongar
Infront Autos - Romford
M W Restorations - Saffron Walden
D & G Motors - Southend on Sea

There are a few more but I've picked the ones which appear to offer the most services.

A bit of background she knows NOTHING about cars so needs a decent garage as she drives a 30 odd year old MG!

Thanks!
