Herts Indies

[duncscot]

Hi again folks,

I was wondering can anyone tell me the name of the two masser indies that are based in Hertfordshire? I know one is near Hemel Hempstead, but the other one is closer to me in Harpenden, if memory serves me they are in the small village of Kimpton and I did call them once about doing an annual service on my QP for me..... but it must be my old age, cause Ive completely forgotten the companies name..... any ideas guys and gals!!!

dk engineering is one

Ahhh its OK guys, just spotted who it was at the top of the forum page (one of the sponsered indies) Bill McGrath Ltd.... anyone had any experience with them?

I think the 2nd named is well known and highly thought of, doubtless someone else will fill you in about DK Engineering.

Speak to Andy Heywood at Bill McGraths they are at the top of the class I can assure you.

DK engineering are surely the best, they have some of the best cars for sale and i have heard good reports about them on pistonheads.

listen if you could i would always recommend verdi, go to verdi, dk used to work for verdi so they learned from the best, im happy with their work as for dk my friend took his ferrari there and he was happy with the price

DK are most certainly NOT Maserati specialists. They are very well known and revered amongst the Ferrari fraternity and this is their speciality. I live about 1 mile from them and looked into using them for servicing etc. The fact that they either never returned calls or were 'too busy' when Maserati was mentioned put me right off - I tried on at least 3 separate occasions to talk to them. I believe that they don't have SD2/3 facilities either, as a member from one of these forums bought a (overpriced) Gransport from them. They had allegedly 'fully serviced' it before sale but upon it being returned for a fault they couldn't help and referred the owner to a main dealer!

DK is an amazing Ferrari mecca - I'll post some pics shortly of their open day earlier this year, but I would only take a Ferrari there and not a Maser.

Looks like my local service station is gonna be Bill McGraths then..... no use taking the QP to a garage that "says" its a masser worshop, when apparently they dont have all the equipment needed to properly service them. Please someone tell me that McGraths are fully up to speed on Massers!

Have you looked into SB race engineering? I don't know them personally, but have heard positive things and I believe they have the correct diagnostic equipment

Tried to do a bit of digging as I can't remember. It was made in 1958 is all I can find out. IIRC it's a very rare model. Couldn't find any more pics apart from the engine bay:



There really were some beauties at DK that day - when have you ever seen 3 Daytonas and 5 F40s together? Automotive **** at its best!
