Cornwall Mk 1's

Hello,

My Mk 1 is gorgeous but he does need a little attention, I can do some stuff myself but I dont have the knowledge to do most stuff.  Where would be the best place in Cornwall to get some good advice about what needs to be done to make Tafy shine on more?

Any help would be great although I have never worked on an engine before but I would love to get more involved with him.

Thanks Jo

brilliant i always thought Tafy was a gleaming example of original parts but there are some beauties on here and its opened my eyes  8O  and inspired me to make him shine once again.
 

hi, just thought i'd say hello, nice to find some cornish mk1 owners on here. theirs not that many of us or at least i have'nt met them yet. i've got 2 mk1's 1.3 off the road and a screamer of a 1.1. if i can be of any help i'll do so, got a lockup full of random stuff!

I'm not too far away from you chaps - just a few miles the other side of the Devon border!  Although I was born in Cornwall!  :wink:

Have just acquired my MK1 so am also on the lookout for a trustworthy and enthusiastic specialist in the area.  I've heard that Volkcraft are good in Exeter.  :dontknow:

Will also be on the look out for a bodyshop to repair a bit of rust around the nearside back window.

Hope to see you all around the Cornish lanes.  8)
