C5 Servicing in Essex/East London

[2vettes]

For many years my 1999 C5 has been serviced well and affordably by Ian Goss in Surbiton.
I grew up over that way and until recently my parents lived nearby.
These days I would prefer to avoid a 2 hours trip each way from Ilford round the M25.
Can anyone recommend a garage in the Ilford or west Essex area that would be familiar with C5 servicing?

Alex - I'm sure one of our Essex C5 owning members will see your post in time and respond. Our co-rep Mark Eaton has owned his C5 for ever and I seem to recall him using a place in Margaretting for routine servicing.

Ah, yes thanks for mentioning Mark.

As if by magic....!

Hi Alex,

This is the place Ross refers to:


They have looked after my C5 for many years now. If you contact them, say it is like the silver one!!

Have also recently discovered the following too - we have an Essex Region visit there in a couple of weeks following a meeting I had there . They have done quite a bit of work on older Vettes, but a C5 would be no problem for them.


Food for thought anyway!

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks Mark.

Thanks for the info on Speedwell. I'll give them a call.
PS. Its not just like the silver one, it is a silver one too

Funny, I drive round the back of Hanningfield occasionally and didn't know about Historic Motorworks there.
Hopefully they escaped the fertiliser store explosion the other day.
It would be interesting to come along for the visit.

Silver's a good colour for the car, methinks!

Re Historic Motor Works, I will happily add you to the list, Alex! It's from 10.00-12.30 on Saturday 8th August. Details will be sent out soon.

Cheers,

Mark

I believe yours is true silver whereas mine is known as 'pewter'

Pewter or Silver both great colours for a curvy body!
