London Car Garages

[athorby]

Hi Guys,

I would really appreciate your knowledge and input here.
I'm going to London on 20th Oct with the reason of supercar spotting! Ideally I would like to see an MC12! any ideas?

I'm planning to go to Romans International, Joe Macari and Hudsons. Also I will probably go over to South Kensington and maybe Hampstead.
Just wondering if you lot know of any other garges/areas which are a must apart from the obvious like Park Lane and Sloane Square etc.

Thanks again and sorry if this question has been raised before!

How are you getting there? Reason I ask is that both Romans and Hudsons are not in London. Not sure where the others are

Hi there,
I am going down with a mate who's driving. I was aware that they are not in central London however their stocklist is too tempting to ignore! I think we're going down for the weekend and will spend a day in central London and a day out and about. Thanks

The KwikFit off Kings Road in Chelsea has lots of nice cars as it is also an underground carpark. Just walk in and take a peek.

Last time I went there were lots of weird things like a one-off Gemballa Porsche, Veyron, Military spec Hummer, any Ferrari or Lambo you like etc etc etc.

Maranellos in Egham, Surrey is worth a look if you are driving, I guess it depends where you are coming from?

Quite simply - HR Owen service centre in Acton west London. Unless that is you don't want to see 100 + cars including Veyrons, all Lambo's, Ferrari's, Phantom's etc

Seconded, showrooms are fine but the service centres are where you are likely to see a greater variety of cars of all ages. HR Owen at Acton is excellent for that with plenty of cars visible through the railings (though the railings as they are likely to promptly tell you to piss off as soon as you step past the gate - happened to me anyway ).

Don't know if Rosso Corsa is still in business but they are also close by and they had some interesting cars in both warehouse and service bays.
