I am looking for a mechanic near Sebring Florida for a 1971 E-Type V-12? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ginger,

Thanks for the reply and the picture. I can't wait to get there. We come down on the 17th to look at our first round of properties. I look forward to meeting you at a rally at some point. Our baby is beautiful. I will post a photo when the rain stops and I can get her cleaned up.

Malcom,

Go with Pascal's suggestions since he lives down that way. I'm in the middle of the state. You'll enjoy it down there, and never be too far from the Keys. Your new club will show you around.

Hey, don't sweat our debates, it wasn't the first, and probably won't be the last!

Pascal,

Thanks so much for your referral. Looking forward to moving to sunny, Southern Florida. Been in Houston for 22years. I am from Bermuda, so I look forward to clear waters and white sand again. I will join the club when I arrive.

Saw the heated debate you were all in and had to move back from my monitor so as not to get burned. Hope the issues work out in a positive light for all.

Still looking for a trim reference if anybody has one in the Palm Beach area.

Mark,

I have a 1971 V12 also, and use Tsikuris Classics in Lakeland. I know of a few more in central Florida, but not Sebring exactly. Lakeland, Largo, Orlando, and Mount Dora. Let me know if you are interested in these shops, and I will give you names/phone numbers.
