generally very expensive imo. Look at RSJ, Cridfords, 911 Virgin and Portiacraft

Vote for Paragon from me - first class service (and in-house warranty) every step of the way.

bloody right you want some recourse if you're getting probed wink

Henry at 911virgin is always good to talk to, that he doesn't charge the earth for his cars is another + point

I believe Paragon are the only ones to offer a full Year's no quibble warranty. Their cars are superb.

To be honest for every good experiences there'll be someone who had a bad experience. Just look at as many cars as you can and judge for yourself. Any one of the specialists mentioned should serve you well as long as you've done some homework.

Never dealt with them but the chap who runs it worked for harbour cars just around the corner for years then broke away and went on his own, supposed to know his stuff.

I (or friends) have delt wiht most of the above list. The only ones listed I would consider are ...... 911 Virgin, RSJ and I have heard mostly positive (of late) Cridfords. Paragon are good but expensive (you pay your money, you take your chances). JZM by the way I'm told are supposed to be uber good and also I'm told are Harbour Cars, though I've never delt with either of them personally.

I know no one personally who has delt with Charles Ivey.
