I’ve had an unfortunate incident that has bent my drivers door back causing a nasty vertical dent/fold in the bodywork between the boor and bonnet :sad:

It hasn’t broken the paint but I’m fairly sure it can’t be massaged out as there’s no access in the area immediately behind the dent. Unless someone knows a genius dent man who is expert with the glued hooks and a slide hammer technique :?:

So, looking for recommendations for body shops experienced with classic/older vehicles in the Surrey/Hants/Berks border area. Specifically Camberley but I’ll travel for a good job at a reasonable price.

Thank you

Mark

Hi Mark

I would recommend Martin at https://thebeaconsfieldworkshop.co.uk

Beaconsfield is not that far from Camberley. Don’t be put off by pictures of Rolls Royces and Bentleys, they know their E-types.

Mark, very sorry to hear of this. Lee Ridley is near Tadley, though he tends to be very busy, but might be worth a try 07738 863969

Good luck

Geoff

Chertsey...I'm biased as I work there part time but their panel beating and bodywork skills are superb.

And, to add to the mix, Southern Classics at Twickenham. They do bodywork, repairs and ground-up restorations of Aston Martins and E-Types. https://www.southernclassics.co.uk/ Steve Berry is the proprietor - very decent guy. It sounds like it could be an insurance matter.
