I may be looking at a car from there and just wanted to hear any feedback. Preferred via email for freedom of speech!

They certainly seem like a professional outfit on the phone and the cars appear to be top end.

Great outfit and the aftercare is spot on. Pietro is a top bloke and will look after you well. Peter and Elias are masters of there trade. Both the Testarossa and 964 have had recent attention and I wouldn't take my cars anywhere else.

Just don't ask/let Elias talk to you about 355 engine rebuilds if you're getting a 355....I've taken mine there twice for 2 minor things, chatted with him, asked a few innocent "what if" questions, and left terrified my engine was going to start dropping cyinders yesterday and require eleventy billion quids worth of rebuild hehe not good for stress levels!

Here is an interview with Chris who owns the company. Talks about his Enzo as well as his business...and doughnuts!

They have an excellent reputation so nothing to worry about

Would you still get an independant inspection done, on a low mileage 430?

Only heard good things.

Inspections are a personal thing, I prefer to weigh up the dealer and the car and would generally not worry about an inspection if the car felt good from my own look over it and the dealer was reputable.

Totally. Nothing against them at all, but for the sake of £400 or so on a car the thick end of £100k to get an independent second opinion, it's a no brainer.
