Owain- There is a Tiger restoration person in the UK. I would HOPE he would
help you find the best places to have work done and at the cheapest rates- Im

BUT many- joing the UK Tiger club as well- the members should be willing to
help as well when it comes to where to spend you money. regards, TonytheTiger
