Hi, just wondering if anyone could offer personal recommendations for taking my 1275 Spi engine and box to, for a rebuild in the South? It currently is "Si" spec.
I took the head to Rob Walker Engineering a few years ago and was happy with the work there, but just in case there was anyone closer or better recommended would love to hear options!
Cheers

Bill Richards has recently relocated to the Isle of Wight, so not too far from you
One Carb Or Two?

I had a Minispares/Bill Richards 1293 short engine tuned by Bill and installed by Mill Road Garage, the engine is running great and is so smooth, it also has a lot more poke than before.

I'm in Hampshire (despite my screen name) and I couriered my engine up to Bromsgrove Engine Services, only cost £35 with Palletways, and the build was much better value than similar quotes and there is no BS, just a longer wait as they are busy.

I used to live around the corner from Ian, he is a really interesting person to talk to and loads of racing history. No idea why I didn't speak to him when getting the engine rebuilt
Probably an age thing
