All good here!

Sold my 7 through them earlier this year.

General opinion is all good from what I've read.

I bought my 2nd seven through them. All I can say is good words for them. Very nice people, always make you feel welcome and if there are any problems they have sorted them out for me straight away.
I only have good things to say about them and would recommend them.

I was there for the first time on Thursday looking for my first Caterham.

Andy and Callum were very helpful and knowledgeable. Andy is an ex-director of Caterham and Callum is also ex-Caterham.

Great selection of cars and good location virtually track side at Brands. Hoping to return soon and come back with my first Caterham!

Ben.

Sold my first Caterham to them earlier in the year. Exceptionally good, straight people, based on that experience at least. Bid me a price over the phone, paid the money and then picked the car up two days later. It was a 14 year old car, so not without risk as a blind purchase.

When I sell my current one, they will be the first people I'll call unless I sell it myself

Although I didn't buy my current car from them, as a potential customer I found them to be knowledgable, friendly and straight forward.

Unlike Caterham they actually call you back and answer emails!

They offer to "tailor" cars to your requirements if something you're looking at isn't quite the spec you're after.

Bought my first Caterham at the end of last year from them. They changed the seats, lowered the floors and updated the roll bar. All done more quickly than I could reasonably expect and at the price agreed. Great service and a delight to deal with.

I would thoroughly recommend them. And no, I have no connection; other than as a satisfied customer.

I sold my 7 to them and bought another one. Got it home, had my tea and was hoping to go out in evening. Starter motor fault meant I couldn't. I emailed Seven and Classics at 8pm. Had two replies, one from andy, and one from Callum within the hour from their homes. Andy was at my house with a replacement starter motor by 11am and had it fitted by 1pm.

I was very impressed with everything about them. I haven't yet heard a bad thing said about them.

That's really good to hear that Andy, Callum and Co. are really going the extra mile.
I to have only heard very positive feedback from others about their experiences with S and C.
Keep up the good work.

I was at Brands Hatch last Tuesday doing a track day and my alternator belt went. I called S&C and they told me to come straight round so they could take a look at it.

15 minutes later they had fitted a new belt and all was well again.

Excellent service (Tim and Andy) - I would happily recommend them as not only did they sort me out but they also seemed like top, enthusiastic, helpful blokes.

Very impressive !!!

I bought my R300 from them a couple of months ago after much searching. They could not have been more helpful as (being a fussy sod) I wanted wheels/seats etc changed and fiddled with: no problem. Having dealt with the "motor trade" for many years I have no hesitation in recommending S & C.

I recently part-exchanged my Sigma 125 for a Duratec R400 with Sevens & Classics.

I'm very happy with the deal and service received from Callum and Tim. The R400 is currently back with them for a few bits & bobs to make it perfect, all being done with no quibbles.

If anyone's looking for a nice Sigma 125 Roadsport, my old car is a gem. It's the all-BRG one on Sevens & Classics website.

I have been speaking to Callum over the past few weeks about changing my existing Caterham for another one.

I have been undecided what to do and I would say that Callum is certainly one of the most professional people involved in any form of car sales I have ever met. I have chopped and changed my mind and I am amazed that he has not told me to go and buy one somewhere else yet!!

He has a genuine concern for getting me an upgrade that I will be happy and excited about rather than just sending me on my way with something.

I suppose my case is not unusual as these things are toys and the upgrade desire is kind of irrational to get a better Caterham than the one you have already got and have lived with. Nevertheless they seem to understand this and do not apply any pressure as most places would do...they seem to want everybody to have fun playing with car toys.
