Rebuilding a 2002

All depends on your budget. There's TT Workshops if money is no problem. Whoever you decide on it, always costs more in the end.

Depends where in the country you are, I know a small company in Hastings, DC Coachworks, do a fantastic job. Have done my Batmobile from bare metal upwards, top quality.

You'd be better off (& cheaper buying a sorted car in the first place). A 2002 Tii can cost £40,000 to build to concours, a 2002 Turbo will set you back a mere £65,000 to concours standards. A little silly when top Tii's are grossly under valued at £7000 & the Turbo according to some outdated magazines is only £12,000 (yea right you won't find one for that now days, more like late teens). If you can do the work yourself that helps. Bodywork is the expensive part, you could always upgrade the mechanics late. Send me your Email address & I send you the 02 Buying Guide it might help you judge this better. Also Mike Macartney's 02 Restoration Guide (Jaymic 01263 768768) has a budget calculator in it to help you work out the cost. Good Luck. Richard.

Yes thats a very good point.. check out some of the former Eastern Bloc countries.. Redundant Mig fighter builders knocking out the most exquisite hand crafted aluminium Cobras you could ever wish for.

.. I think Keith at Jaymic has a better than new Tii for sale.

The cars sugested a great but I really want a touring.

If there is one in that condition I would consider it.

my own is looking a bit tired and at 40k for a rebuild it will stay that way. However I will start looking on the continent, does anyone have any contact info.

Some great advise thank you guys

ps. the buying guide is a good read, thank you
