Technical Topolino Friendly Garage in Essex

[HenryB123]

Hi, just wonder if someone could recommend a Fiat Topolino friendly garage in Essex. Preferably south of Chelmsford. A classic car person. I have a restored Topolino so know nothing major wrong with it. Just want it run up through the gears to check tuning, operation of brakes/gearbox etc. Prefer to do that than discover something wrong on a test drive.

Did you find someone ..... or start with a short test drive and gradually extend your reach?

Not as such. But have identified a few mobile mechanics who can carry out a pre MOT test on it, and take for a spin round the block so to say. I know it does not need a MOT, but just for reassurance. Car not been on the road for 50 years or so.
I did think about taking it to someone who has a rolling road. As long as they don't laugh at the power output.
But it would be nice to find somewhere you could just drive it around and check it out. A old airfield say.
Thanks for asking. Car in garage now for the winter.
