Raven Autospares Burnham - where will I get diesel spares now?

[Burnham Bob]

Not non-boaty honest! I always buy spares for my beta 13 at Raven's in Burnham and today went to go and found it closed and the windows papered over. Anyone know anything? It's a great shop and if it's not coming back it will be a great shame. I need antifreeze and other things for the boat diesel too.

I'll have to buy spares online or find another motor factor closer than Halfords in Chelmsford.

Used to use Ravens when I lived in Burnham, shame it is closed. The only other motor factors that I know locally is in Maldon opposite the White Horse car park. Don't know if he will have what you want in stock - may need to order parts for you.

A great loss. Used Ravens before we lived in Burnham, was in there last week buying
something or other, always first port of call for car and boat reqs.
They even stocked the correct oil for my 1950s Norton.

wonder what happened? no closing down sale nothing - its a great shame

A great shame, indeed.

Raven have been a by-word for courteous, old fashioned service for years. It would be a great shame if they have closed.

 

[Burnham Bob]

yes it has closed - and Burnham is much the poorer because of it. still good luck to Andy the owner in the future and thanks for the servie and advice in the past

There is a motor factors down the hill, over the bridge and first left just passed the One Stop Chandlery in Maldon on the way to Heybridge. Never used it but it seems busy when I have gone by.
