I can vouch for that. Took my car there to get a new needle, and my K&N fitted. Turned out I'd bought the wrong size filter, but Lance had the part to just swap it over.

My car runs beautifully now :thumbsup:

More big thumbs up for G&W.

Great guys, very helpful. Can't recommend them enough. They've looked after my car since I got it, wouldn't trust anyone else with it!

They dont have a website, nor an online shop.

Either go in person or order on the telephone.

Both ian and lance are well expirenced. They have a race car, 8port mini that beats scoobys, lotus elise etc on the track. They know there stuff, wont sell you something you dont need either.

Id choose these any day if im in a urgent hurry for parts. They have done me loads of good over the past 3 yrs.

Its the only mini shop in the north east worth using really. The rest seem to be con artists or just after your money. Green and white are euthisasts. There shop is not big, its not pretty, they dont advertise, but they do a bloody good job and thats known by mini racers from all across the UK. Last time i was there, they were tuning a mini racer from ireland. Yeah, fetched from Ireland for GnW to tune.....like I said, they are bloody good.

I'll vouch for them also. Known them since the late 80's. I used to be their welder. ;)
Sound guys.

Another Green and White ex welder what a small world

Cheers

lol and another, Its like a secret society what happens below the shop we are all sworn to secrecy. Have to say though that both lads are ontop of their game and always make you feel welcome.

In my opinion, Green & Whites are the best Mini specialist in the North East.

 

Check out this Youtube video of Lance winning the championship. The trophy was the only clean thing in the shop! :lol:

 

Watch the replay from 5:20.....Lance knows how to drive that Mini.

After using telephone, internet and word of mouth I drew a blank on restoring the seats in my open classic !

Happened to call g & w to ask for advice, yes was the reply we have bits upstairs to sort you out !!

A mad dash up A19 and 45min later I was in possession of a rear seat cover, enough to re-trim both front seats !!

What an amazing place and people ! (First visit, not last)
