i don't think he is expensive generally and he sells his cars quickly in contrast to the expensive classic car dealers. I have had no dealings with him but have never heard any negative feedback.

They only appear to stock very good examples and all their cars always look in excellent condition with fsh etc (that Dolphin Grey 635csi on there at the moment is lovely). At the rate they shift, I would imagine they have a very good reputation. They do charge top dollar, but I'd personally rather buy a nice straight, original car at a premium from them than spend a fortune welding some old turd and fixing an assortment of other bodges.

i expect their cars won't have all the normal old bmw issues ie worn drivers seats, broken central locking and rusty rear arches.

So it makes sense to not be tight and part with the dollar especially if you are a spastic with a spanner in your hand
