Looking for Mini Specialists in East London

Have just bought my second mini, after a ten year gap. It's a Mini City with huge superlight alloys and a few ugly boy racer mods. i hope to turn it into a pretty runabout but first I want to get it looked at by a reputable classic mini garage. Does anyone know a good mini mechanic in the leytonstone/essex area?
Thanking you... Billy

Basically I want someone to give my new mini the once over, check the steering and fit the new suspension kit (the previous owner bought some Spax shocks but didn't fit).
At the moment the steering has a huge 'dead spot' in the centre which is unnerving, want to get that sorted.
I am LOVING being a mini owner again - having only had it for one day, I've already drawn loads of admiring glances and had one man stop me on the street to ask how much I want for it...!

my mini's died again and I can't afford the rates GC Minis are charging. I need a cheap East London garage - the one at the top of my road 'won't do old minis'.

I normally go to JPR Minis in Barnet, Jay and Darrel are excellent.

ELMO - didnt see this, yep, sure - let me know when.
ill check this guy out too - I have been trying east london garages over the last few days and no joy so far - if you found someone can you post it up? ill do the same...
