Appalling customer service. Called to get a valuation on my beloved Mini and was spoken to like trash. He said that "everyone thinks if they have a mini its a gold mine" and "you're having a laugh mate" when i tried to explain what value i was after. Whoever i spoke to was a horrible sounding man. Will not go near them with a barge pole. Would not expect that level of service from a classic mini specialist. (It wont let me put no stars)

What a massive disappointment. A handful of absolutely pukka, but hugely expensive minis on the inside, whilst outside the back is an array of horror. 10s of once beautiful, now severely neglected minis on sale for vastly over expensive prices. I must've looked in twenty of them to find that at least half of them were covered in mould on the inside. No hyperbole at all, the steering wheels and gear knobs were hairy with mould. Disgusting, and such a shame.

Absolutely no pride has been taken in preserving these classic cars. To add insult to injury, the owner is extremely arrogant, barely opens his mouth to talk, and talks in a series of absolutely polarising / nonsense statements about Minis. Don't waste your time.

I have put deposits on two cars that were for sale over past year or two. Both times i actually did my own Hpi check only to find that both cars had been insurance write offs. The seller was very fair and kindly gave me my deposits back but I wasted a lot of time and i think the seller should be disclosing the history in the adverts.

Vehicles in the showroom are of very good quality and are indeed special vehicles. However there are many vehicles in the outside area (behind the showroom) that are old and yes they need work but nobody is going to pay 4995 for something this old. its not worth that price! if you think that's bad then it gets worse with the prices inside the showroom, going up to over 20,000! total rip off in my view. When i recently purchased a rare mini thirty with the sunroof for only 1200
