If you like it, put a holding deposit down on it then get it checked out! You really must take a tyre kicker approach to these cars as if you get it wrong, it's gonna hurt!

Xtreme Scoobies in Boreham (Essex) Fantastic bunch, it's where I take mine.
Subaru for you nr Reading. Not used them myself yet, but Len has a very good reputation on here!
Power Engineering (Uxbridge) Again, very good reputation as far as I'm aware.
I'm sure others have more suggestions
