My old man bought a Mondial 3.2 from these guys in the early 90s and then a Lambo Jalpa in swap for an early TVR Griffith. They used to advertise in all the classic mags and had a superb range of cars for sale at Kimber Road in Wandsworth. My memory tells me they were Maltese trying to be Italian, I can remember going to the showroom as a kid and seeing Countachs, Isleros, Espadas, a Bug Eb110, Jag XJ220s plus numerous current Ferraris and Lambos. What happened to these guys, only asking out of curiosity as they are a name from the past but their ads were always worth reading.

Yes, John and Mark, they must be in their 50s now. All the cars had a bit of a story but they always seemed competitively priced, I'm going back to pre-internet times here, and bear in mind my old man used to drive down from Lancashire to have a deal as it was the only place with such a wide selection.

Sorry to hear about the death of Mark, they were always very welcoming and full of enthusiasm. I remember going there when they had the blue EB110 and XJ220, sure they also had a silver EB110 SS as well.

Is that an EB110 alloy casually lying around behind the yellow TR?

Anyone know the story behind the champagne coloured Pantera in Martin350's post? Never seen one with rear arches like that.
