It is an absolutely amazing place and Bob Houghton is probably the most well respected Ferrari specialist in the country. Nick Mason entrusts his 250 GTO and other Ferrari's to him.

Its quite weired going there as its up a little street in a sleepy little town in the Cotswolds.

Went there this morning to pick up my old man's 456 which was having work there (we have a dealers in Cardiff but they are no where near as good so an hours drive is worth it)

Today they had 5 F40's, an F50, 288 GTO, 2 275 GTB's and the usual 355's 360's and 550 / 575 plus a few other very valuable vintage Ferrari's and a Lancia Stratos

Basically you cant buy from better people.

A few of the pics I took today to whet your appetite Phil

Is it a Burgundy 3200 you are going to see? Didnt get too much of a look at it (as there was an F50 a few feet away) but it looked tidy from what I saw of it.

Agreed. After losing some of their (few) negative main dealer symptoms when reverting to independent status from MHT, it's getting and gotten even better. Always an Aladdin's Cave of F-car exotica.

Test drove a 3200 there when I was looking, amazing stock/workshop, and very friendly and professional. I didn't buy the car but it was a pretty good one.

However, their quote to do my servicing was disappointingly higher than my local main dealer.

Hope you like it.
