IT’S COME HOME!
We registered this Mini Cooper S brand new back in March 1968, before selling it to a local man on 24th March 1971 who kept it right up until 2018!! It then changed hands to another owner before we were given the opportunity to bring it back home!! HOW COULD WE NOT!! This beautiful little car is original and in great condition. The recorded MOT mileage in 1990 was 1038 miles, and now it’s on 4170 miles. So it’s covered just 3132 miles in 36 years!

Now it’s back in our waiting area for all to admire. So next time you need an MOT, Service, Tyres or repair, why not come in and wait with this little gem in our waiting room (with free Wi-Fi, Tea, Coffee and Hot choc!) whilst we get your vehicle sorted.

2 of the same last week with a pair of Ford Transit vans in for a timing belt (wet belt) replacement. Both arrived in to us with oil pressure issues – our experienced technician identified this symptom common with wet belt issues. As seen in these images the teeth from the belt had started to disintegrate but fortunately we got these replaced before any damage to the engines were caused.

We carry out a variety of jobs on all makes and models of vehicles so no two days are the same at PC Tonkin & Son! If your vehicle is due a timing belt change we’d love to help – contact us via:
