allan9966 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I am wanting to buy a Miniplane ABM with Top80 engine. I have emailed the factory in Italy and they told me to contact the UK agent Michel Carnet which I have done and to date I haven't received any replies. Has anyone else managed to buy a Miniplane in the UK, if so, how, who from and how easy was it? I'm worried that if it's difficult to get a reply from a sales enquiry what are the chances of any after-sale care? If anyone has a Miniplane in the UK how easy is it to get spares, do they have to come from Italy or does Michel keep a stock in the UK? I'd really like to buy a Miniplane but from what I've read on this forum it might not be the easiest thing to do!! Cheers, Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan9966 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Speak to Mat-k he brought one from ireland and had it sent over, lovely machine .. Already tried that route - I would either have to collect from Ireland or have it shipped to an address in Ireland.... they won't ship to mainland UK because of the dealership rules.
