BLS Automotive partners Tom Shrubb and Phil Bower have kept the Alfa Romeo and FIAT flag flying in Lincolnshire since 1983, prior to that from the mid seventies they worked for F.K.Sharpe Ltd, one of the country’s oldest Alfa Romeo and FIAT dealers. We have hands on expert experience of all post war Alfa and FIAT - Alfasuds, early Alfetta Saloons and GTV’s, GTV 6’s, 164’s up to current Mito, 159, Brera and Spider - then on FIAT from 127, 128, 131 through to 500, Grande Punto and Bravo – the list is extensive. We offer our customers experience and knowledge unavailable in the current dealer network.

While at Sharpe’s they put their previous competition backgrounds to good use seeing the potential in the then new Alfasud. The Sharpe’s built Sud driven by Charles Hill was soon achieving giant killing results in rallies throughout the Midlands.

Their enthusiasm saw the car converted and entered in one of the first AROC scratch races, since that 1983 debut BLS have successfully competed in the championship every year to date, a full breakdown of results and gallery photos of cars built and prepared are available by selecting the relevant option on the side bar.

The Lincoln workshop is handily situated within walking distance of the historic city of Lincoln with all it’s major stores and uphill area including the castle and world famous Cathedral, is fully equipped with the latest A.R. Examiner diagnostic equipment and state of the art MOT test bay.

Inevitably during their 26 years of trading many existing Alfa Romeo customers and indeed others that have been recommended or seen the BLS cars in action on the track have brought not only Alfa Romeo’s but other marques to Lincoln for attention. A portfolio of some of the makes and models that BLS have worked on is detailed in our ‘cars worked on’ link.

Whether customers are bringing a classic or a model from the current range they are guaranteed an enthusiastic welcome, personal attention and good old fashioned customer service.
