TopGear Speciality Cars

[ahaughton]

Hi, anyone had any dealings with TopGear Speciality Cars? They've got a number of nice looking cars but I've no experience of them?

tony_996hasgone bought his Diablo 6ltr from there. Which car are you interested in?

[ahaughton]

The two 99' SV's look very nice.

If not your ideal spec, try speaking with Jason Barker (ex lamborghini head of sales) - he sold all the cars of that time period and generally knows of the whereabouts of all the cars now

Cheers, I met Jason a few years ago down near Reading - he took me out in a blue SV and it totally blew me away. Not sure what happened though 'cos I ended up buying a 355 Spider..... I'll be back in the market in the next few months so starting to get up to speed again on prices, dealers etc.

TopGear Cars have a good reputation within Lambo circles.
Give Carlo a ring and take him as you find him. I'm sure you'll be looked after.
Also, Lamborghini Club UK have a couple of members cars adertised for sale.
Good luck.

I can reccomend Carlo at Topgear Cars. I purchased by Lambo Diablo VT from him just over a year ago. He is a Lambo specialist and always has a good selecion of cars available.

In the Lamborghini world, there are people you deal with, and people you don't.

Carlo at Top Gear and Mike Pullen at Carrera Sport are the only two specialists I will deal with.

Carlo is gold, no finer Lambo bloke on the planet!!!

Tell him I said so!

Adrian, I received your mail and will reply later today.

In terms of Mike Pullen, I would unreservedly recommend him when it comes to all things Lambo!! Carlo is also very well respected in Lambo circles, is a good guy, and is where I got my 6.0L VT from ...he is different from Mike, in as much as, he is the main specialist in the UK for buying/selling second hand Lambos (once they are out of the Franchise network), and in that respect I would recommend him. However for servicing and maintenance, I'm not sure if that is Carlo's "forte"!! All IMHO!!

I'd love to know who you don't deal with but I can guess one of them!

Can recommend Mike. He services my Testa and also many friends Ferrari's, Lambo's, etc. All round good guy and also knows most of the Lanbo's in the UK.

Has Mike got a WebSite? You'd think after 20+ years in IT I'd be able to work the InterWeb but I'm struggling on this one...

...this is his web-site:-

...but it's never up to date, so you need to call him when it comes to sales.
