Default recommendations for sympathetic restoration Sapphire Cosworth

Note - Car is in Europe

Does anyone have any recommendations to take my car to have a freshen up in the UK? . It is a 1992 Sapphire Cosworth, Spanish new and lived there its entire life. Totally rust free, aircon car etc and has 109,000kms with service history. Things are starting to get a bit rattily in the interior, minor electrical gremlins, niggles etc but still used regularly. Just started to feel a little tired and I'd like to have it done properly as it is a non messed around, standard car.

I think you will have a hard job finding a company in NZ that have a lot of expertise with Sapphire Cosworth models. There must be places there that do restorations of classic cars that would be able to help you.The biggest problem these days is finding genuine parts, even here in the UK so for you it must be even harder. Nice looking car. Good luck with it!!

The only company I know of in NZ that specializes in Cosworth Sierras is https://lodgeautocentre.co.nz/ Not at all handy to you, they're up the North Island in Hastings.

oops sorry, should have clarified that I'm looking to have car done in the UK - I divide my time between NZ, UK and Spain and car will be kept in Europe

There are quite a few specialist Cosworth companies in the UK. You have a good choice depending which part of the UK you want to get the work done? You can check out various places online and see what customers say about them.
