Grafer Tune was based in Chapel St Royton Lancs. Described as looking like a scrap
yard. It was actually a compound full of finished and half finished projects. Old
Jags, MGs and Minis seemed to be flavour of the day. Grafer Tune was run by Stuart
Whitehead & his brother.
The Garage was demolished in the late 80s or early 90s to make way for new houses.
