moodoo Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Hi...turns out my Manta A (LAR353L) used to belong to a John Sneddon, who I believe ran Brook Road Coachworks. I need to get some paintwork done on the car, but we're struggling to match what's on the car. One of the previous owners thinks it may have been a Porsche colour, but that's still a bit vague... I would love to get in contact with John, regarding the paintwork, and also the rest of the cars history. Does anyone know him, or have contact details for him? Thanks, Fin Edited July 4, 2012 by moodoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Fin, John did indeed own/run Brook Road Coachworks, he repainted the side of my Manta where it had been the subject of slapdash accident repair works sometime in its early life. The coachworks ceased trading some time ago, the last time i saw John was at Billing i think three years ago, he was there with his white A Series with a GTE engine and five speed box conversion. He had a job re-finnishing Mercedes, which i'm presuming was for a Mercedes Dealer, i'm guessing somewhere in the Lee Vally area north east of London, thats where he had his bussiness. Perhaps this hasn't been alot of help but it might just jog someone elses memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moodoo Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks for the info...that would all tie up alright...the guy who brought the car over to Ireland said he bought it from a guy in North London. I have the old English V5, with Johns address on it, and looking on Google maps, that address would be quite close to Lee valley. If I'm stuck I'll send a letter in the post to the address on the V5, although he originally bought the car in 1991, so the address may be out of date by now, he may not even live there any more! Looking for his name and the postcode on the V5 on the BT website, nothing comes up, but I suppose he could be ex-directory... Am hoping someone on here might have an up-to-date address or phone number... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1393 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 John's home tel number - 0208 292 6055. This maybe an old number, however worth a try. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
