Congrats- I’m over in Derby and trying to buy my first Italian car.
There’s a good Indy in Uttoxeter apparently (stradale Italia), and shiltech in Loughborough have a great reputation

And another good one in Bromsgrove who did a PPI for me.....
Welcome to the Forum Neil.
There are plenty of well experienced owners who are very competent motor engineers here on the forum and if you post a technical question one or more will usually be along to offer guidance very quickly.
There is help with the less technical stuff too: a month into ownership I felt a real idiot when I drove glamorously - driving a Maserati is always a glamorous event - into a filling station with an almost empty tank only to find the outer filler cap would not open.
Much mirth among the check out operators.
But within two minutes someone on this forum told me how to work round it.
Tanked up and drove off glamorously.

By the way. Everybody here like pictures, so do post a few of the car. Preferably quickly. :)

Welcome to the forum Neil, I'm surprised no one has asked for pictures yet. You've seem to have the sweet spot of a late 4200 but cheaper road tax which is worth a tankfull per year. Ask as many questions as you like, we here to help ownership become cost effective and more enjoyable.

Yeah we don't ask for pictures, ppi, subframe condition or stripes anymore. Did you not get the memo? :p

My mistake. We do ask for pictures of the car. It's the wife or girlfriend that was frowned upon.

Welcome.

It's odd that nobody on here seems to have any experience of Stradale Italia in Uttoxeter. This is all I can find:

Migliore in Bromsgrove are generally well thought of in these parts, although with a couple of dissenters.
