Anyone have any experience of either Dick Lovetts is Swindon (official dealer) or Dove House Motor Company (unofficial dealer)?

My Dad got his 05 111s from Dick Lovett and has had nothing but praise for them. Its a big old chain so it seems the support is there when you need it.

Hes a fussy old bugger as well!

What are you looking for - sales, service, bodywork?

DL (Matt) are pretty good. I have bought two cars from them. However, my current car is from Bell & Colvill - a bit further to travel but worth it IMHO. Great enthusiasm for the brand. Also, they will deliver on a trailer if you ask nicely. Talk to Scott at B&C.

Bought my Exige from there. As Skyman suggests Matt is the Lotus guy to deal with. Nice chap. Had some issues with a few bits after delivery which were sorted without drama or fuss. Delivered car by trailer as I live 170 odd miles away.

Sales

Matt at DL is excellent. I have bought two cars off him in the last year. Recently sorted a problem for me whilst I was at Hethel.

Service

I am sure they are very good but they are very expensive and their leadtime to get booked in is long. I suspect they are too busy with all the Fezza's and Mazza's.

A thumbup from me for Matt at DL. I bought my 135R from him earlier this year.
