you mean the one based in Livingston, Scotland? Yes.

He has quite a few friends and very satisfied customers on this board. A7 See (Al See) bought his Murci from him and is a very active Lamborghini owner too.

A very trustyworthy dealer imo.

I have only ever seen positive comments re topgear-cars.

Carlo is a very nice guy, and very straightforward. Certainly I would have no hesitation going to him if I was looking to buy a Diablo. Don't expect him to haggle on prices though - he tends to be quite rigid, based on knowing the value of the cars he is selling and being able to sell enough cars at the prices he is asking without having to 'chase' sales by lowering his prices.

Got my Murci from Carlo...and my old Diablo VT as well which I believe its still for sale and within your Brother in law's price range. Its the Dark blue ones with the 20" wheels...actually its 19" front and 20" rear. Its a 96 model hence the better looking dash compared to the early Diablo's. Give him a call.....you won't be disappointed.

Top gear cars is excellent. I would definitly go here if at all possible. Also if he doesn't see one he likes there just tell carlo what your looking for and you never know he could get it. Really nice guy on top of everything

my diablo came from him and its been miles of smiles.

Have heard remarks about isnt it strange he doesnt list his address.Well his premises are also his house and he wouldnt appreciate people just turning up and nosing about.

best regards

Carlo at Top Gear is a top man! I would have no reservations sending anyone to deal with him!

actually, I just wanted to add a note of caution about Carlo McCrindle...

he has (the horror, the horror!)

some (apparently) perfect Ferrari furniture in the 'showroom' part of his house...

but that's about the worst thing I can think of to say about him... he's also kind to dumb animals (even this one) and has an interesting attitude to ENTIRELY reasonable not- (as if...) -racing Ultima cars. He knows his 650 million horsepower Ultima is utterly sensible whereas his mate's 750 million horsepower car is just over the top...

If your looking Carlo, how are they all going?


ps - original poster - give CMcC a call whydoncha?

Yeah, I sat on some lovely red Ferrari sofas when I went to collect my car after servicing. How cool was that!!
