Sharon and Mike have recently had their black 1993 MX-5 Mk 1 refurbished by David Stafford of CarDoc, Cornwall. The results were great. The paintwork is now looking very smart and fresh. Highly recommended, a very professional service.

“They are a family run garage, they are nuts about MX5s, their workshop is like an operating theatre, they provide courtesy cars, and they are honest. They recently had the opportunity to fit Mazda springs to our Mexi but asked us if we would like to order them from MX5parts.co.uk and have them delivered directly to the garage, and get this, their reason was to save us money! They are definitely top of our list.”

Got a chip or scratch?  Ken and Eileen recommend ChipsAway.  The local rep is Dan Mander on 07711-189453 or 01841-521909, email danmander@chipsawaylocal.co.uk. It is a mobile or workshop service and very efficient at a reasonable cost.

Mike and Sally-Ann have had their wheels refurbished and are very pleased with the result. The company is The Polished Wheel Company Ltd of Wadebridge, see the website at

Here’s a photo of the ‘new’ wheels.  It took a day to do. As they couldn’t pick the car up that night the company kept it for them until the next morning and when they saw it they were amazed how fantastic the wheels looked. They are a highly recommended firm. “We just wish we’d had them done before the show season!”

Peter says “I have just spoken to Tim Kelly who is primarily an MG specialist and asked him whether he would be interested in doing work on MX5s. He has confirmed that he has recently done some bodywork on an MX5 and also fitted a hood on another one. He is prepared to do most things such as bodywork, brakes, suspension, hood replacement, trim and basically anything - as long as it does not involve the need for diagnostic equipment. I can fully vouch for his work, as he rebuilt my MGBGTV8 and the work was superb. He only has a small workforce and he is first and foremost a classic car enthusiast and a businessman second. He has a very good reputation within the local MG community and I have no hesitation in recommending him to MX5 owners. His address is Unit 8, Great Western Railway Yard, St Agnes, nr. Truro, Cornwall TR5 0PD, telephone number 01872 553040.”
