#1 Bodyshop recommendations Devon/Cornwall

Post by josh_mayhem » Sat Mar 14, 2026 3:05 pm

Hi, someone reversed into the nose of my S1 4.2 1967 roadster. And it’s creased the lower section of the bonnet as well as damaged the brightwork.
Have had three places decline the work so any tips on a great Bodyshop in Cornwall or Devon would be greatly appreciated. Need someone with solid panel work skills!

Had a 1000hr restoration about 5 years ago but sadly those guys have shuttered since.

Thanks in advance

Is it worth trying a dentless repair guy? They got a dent out of the nose of mine. Also, if you have to paint the bonnet, you will really struggle to get a good match.

Hi Josh, sorry about your accident, you must be fuming. Checkout Blackline Classic Cars in Cullompton, they have worked miracles on my FHC body and they have huge experience with E-Types. These days they also do a lot of repair work. I can thoroughly recommend them. Mark
