Sussex Motorcycles - Thorspark ignition and a BMW specials builder.

I went round to Sussex Motorcycles today (a Thorspark distributor) based at a farm unit two miles from my house to chase up non delivery of a Thorspark part for a club member in the U.S.A. whose emails and phone calls haven't been answered. Unfortunately the owner (Chris Williams) wasn't there and a chap in an adjacent unit said the owner is a very skilled bike engineer but he only turns up when it suits him.
Here's Sussex Motorcycles website:

This seems to be their unprepossessing H.Q.

Whilst making enquiries I stumbled across a couple of guys in an extremely professional and well kitted out adjacent unit who had around ten new BMW's in the course of being customised.
Their website (which has several customising tutorial videos) may be of interest to the BMW officianadi:

Not the sort of place one would expect for a Thorspark distributor. Looks more like a scrap yard.

Slurry tank - correct.
