I've been looking at a couple of Bentley's that they have in stock at the moment, a Mulsanne and a Flying Spur, anybody had any dealings with them in the past and is the 2 year warranty any good?

I've not bought from him, but I grew up in the area and he's been for as long as I can remember being there (which was from 1982).
In my opinion, people don't last that long unless they're doing something right. My brother did look at a Mercedes SL that he was selling and in our dealings, he seemed like a straight shooter.

As far as warranty. it depends on what you're buying. If you're expecting trouble free motoring and he's promising trouble free motoring from a 40 year old Rolls Royce or Bentley. Both parties are being unrealistic. Given how long he's been around, I expect that he does know how to buy them and suspect that he will stand by what he sells.

Bought my Silver Spirit from them 7 years ago. After sales support was good and they have a big warehouse like workshop about a mile away with lots of activity. I didn't have any problems when arranging warranty repairs to a 25 year old car. They were also happy to warrant any work required to pass the Isle of Man road test, without limit, which shows confidence in their car prep.
