Afternoon all

I might be selling my car through these guys. Anyone have any views on them - they seem very enthusiastic

Many thanks for any help - please feel free to give feedback offline if necessary

Afternoon,

I've bought from them (matt and simon) prior to them starting up this company. Always been honest and a pleasure to deal with.

Very enthusiastic and proper car lovers

Cheers

Paul

Bought my 1st Ferrari from Simon 12 Years ago, a true enthusiast, I'd have no qualms whatsoever about dealing with him again

I've heard nothing but good things about them. They have a rather nice red Daytona in stock too - well worth the purchase price it is too - very nice car

I would say that most, if not all of their cars are sale or return. I contacted them a short while ago on behalf of a friend who wanted to sell his F430, and SF was only interested in SOR. I've also had this confirmed by other sellers of Ferrari cars.

As are most Cars at most Dealers in the Country, not sure what bearing your comments have on their suitability to deal with

Soooo many dealers advertise "we'll buy your car for cash", "desperatly buying" etc.... only to be contacted and to say, "not buying your car at the moment, but we would sale or return it". No upfront costs for them, and when they get a buyer, they always try to knock the owner down a few ££ to make a bit more profit. And what about the dealers who go bust with stock not owned by them? Just Google "Richard Lukins - Rosso Corsa" for a good SOR story.

I sold a car SOR before and my experience wasn't very good.

Some years ago I worked with Simon for a short time, and thoroughly enjoyed it, and I have been in touch with him again quite recently.

He and Matt are both genuine petrol heads who clearly do this because they love cars, and even though I'm not in a position to buy anything from him (unfortunately) they always make time for me when I visit to have a look around and chat about the cars like the true enthusiasts that we all are.

You couldn't wish to meet a nicer pair of blokes, and it's always a pleasure spending time with them.

I'd buy a car from them tomorrow if I had the means to do so!

They sound like a decent bunch of guys - many thanks for the comments.

Thanks also for pointing out the risks relating to SOR - food for thought!

Always had a great experiance when dealing with Mat when he was at KHPC.

Have to say that Dion at Elms Collection is an equally great guy to deal with and has just sold my Fearrai Superamerica, which even one of the big boys, Maranellos couldn't in the current market - more details here http://www.clubscuderia.co.uk/forum/showthread.php...

I'm toying with selling my 550M, largely prompted by my storage arrangements in London being terminated imminently.

It's a brilliant machine. Part of me thinks I'm completely daft and should find some more parking space instead!
