My husband contacted him in June last year, they discussed the work to be done in detail and he emailed a quote which we accepted. He asked for 50% payment up front which we paid. The car was then transported to him. We were told the work would take a few weeks. We phoned a few weeks later to see if it was finished and were told problems with getting parts and it would be another few weeks. This pattern has continued for a year now, each time a different excuse and telling us it will be ready in a few weeks. We have asked for photos of the progress and he has sent nothing. We have been pleasant and patient in each contact with him but we are sick of waiting now and would like the car back whether finished or not, we have told him this via email and phone messages and he is not returning our calls. Looking for advice as to where to go next to start legal proceedings to have the vehicle returned. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

If it was me id just drive to his workshop in a friendly manor and pop in and say you just want to see how things are coming along and work from there depending on the situation at the workshop.

you'll have to excuse ukcooper, he has problems of his own (..and i do mean that sincerely..)
Primary consideration should be recovering your property from his premises. After you've (..hopefully..) done that, you can look at legal redress

This. Without knowing the scale of the work agreed I'd consider taking a trailer and enough boxes to bring a dismantled car home.
