They were recently bought out by Dick Lovett but I think they have transferred the sales side to Cardiff (Been down to Penarth Road a few times for a nose but I dont think the showroom is finished yet.


Davey,

Lovetts have got a new Ferrari showroom on Penarth Rd. as you know, but also a large new one in Swindon to replace the old MHT property in Northleach (it's on the main drag leading from the M4 to the shopping village, just down the road from his Porsche showroom).

Does Bob Houghton still operate out of Northleach as an independent???

xxplod. Full set of Advans plus fitting / balanceing was just shy of £500. probably could have got them for a few quid less but mu rears were bald as a coot and it's the nearest place to me (apart from Sh1te Dove in Cardiff which everybody avoids like the plague)

Chris. Bob Houghton still operates from Northleach I believe. Well worth a look around if you are nearby.

Davey,
Do you know who the guy is in Lisvane with the rosso 355 spider?
He went screaming past my house this afternoon.
I saw it a few times last year & the year before.
Sounds lovely.

No idea Phil.

The only one I see are the bald guy who owns Williams cars on Penarth Road who has a 360 Spyder.

Also passed a 360 last night going through Llanishen towards Lisvane.

I had a test drive in a Noble M12 GTO 3R on Friday afternoon. Absolutely amazing car and bl00dy quick. Just need to get hold of £60k NOW.

Back in 1996, when I was at university, an overseas student from Thailand bought a one year old Ferrari 355. Cost him £12K to insure it. All paid for on a black American Express.
Different world - money was a total irrelevance to him. Bloody nice bloke though.


You weren't at UCL were you?! I remember a yellow 355 being parked outside the union on a few occasions...
