Hi!

I'm new here, so I don't know if this is the right place for this post.

My family and I are going to the UK this summer, we're staying in the Weymouth area.

Are there any Mini shops or similar nearby? We're renting cars, so we can do some driving.


Thanks!
-Arne

Probably the closet - http://www.somerford-mini.co.uk/

They have most parts available and a wealth of knowledge

not the most glamorous of settings but worth the trip

Closer still (maybe) - http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/

Moss in Bristol is well known, friendly people.. always good with buying advice too.

That's the nearest place to me and I'm in the heart of Somerset.

It might be worth checking if your dates coincide with any Mini events too.

Too late! :mmkay:

But I hope the country will give us a good time! I hope there are many Minis in the Weymouth area.

I spend 3 to 4 months a year working in and around Weymouth, I'm sure you'll have a good time, shouldn't be too busy either as it's before the local school holidays. I'm heading back there next week for a month.

There is Dorchester Mini's which is not far from Weymouth at all http://www.dorcheste...co.uk/original/

They do repairs, but can get parts in for you if needed.
