RECENT TESTIMONIALS

We wanted a luxurious looking car for our new business La Pause Parfaite, a chauffer driven short break experience in the South Of France, in which we will be providing, picnics in the vines, sailing in the Med and wines tastings and all things wonderful. We found the answer with Adrian. He instantly knew what would suit both in budget and style.- he even installed our champagne holder for the welcome pick up at the airport, as an extra treat for forthcoming guests.
His advise was truthful and honest, and we flew into Luton, trained to Chesterfield and then did the long drive down to the lovely Languedoc. The Jag purred along beautifully, we travelled in extreme comfort with Air conditioning and CD player, and arrived home with our new acquisition. If you want to follow the meanderings of a beautiful Jag, care of Adrian, you can find out more about us and La Pause Parfaite at

Morning

I thought I would  let you know that I have ridden the GSXR that I bought from you last month and I'm really pleased, I rode at Rockingham and the handling was awesome.

Dear Adrian

Just a note to thank you for the Bentley. We are delighted with it and I'm really glad it all went through in the end.>

Dear Adrian,

this is to say I finally put some use in the Bonnie. It always starts first kick and it is a joy to drive. I am a very proud and happy owner.
Thank you very much again for the smooth transaction and for all the kind assistance you gave me throughout it for all the crossboarder intricancies.
Although I try to resist, I am afraid I will be your customer again in the near future!

 Best wishes. Francesco

 

Adrian, just wanted to say thank for the Vespa's they are great and for arranging all the paperwork and plates hope to do business with you again soon

Hi Adrian,
As promised a photo of the Triumph with smart new French Plates. Something to add to your web - another very pleased customer who cannot praise Spinning Wheel Garage enough for the high level of service. In fact I would say that you went beyond the call of duty to get the car ready and send it off to France. However many thanks and I look forward perhaps someday buying another classic from you.
All the very best Nigel

 

Hello Adrian,
 
Once again, many thanks for all your help with the Greeves, a lovely bike. You certainly proved the point that delivery could be arranged - Chesterfield to the Outer Hebrides.  Marvellous!
 
Kind regards,
Mark


Hello Adrian
Sorry we didn't get chance to speak again yesterday,just to say how both of us like the little Mini and once again a pleasure to do business! Tim was very helpful and everything went off fine.
Keep in touch
Kind regards

if you are thinking of buying from the Spinning Wheel relax, enjoy the garage atmosphere, drive away in confidence as we have four times now!!
 
thank you,
 
ps, what will i have next time?

Dear Adrian
I live in south west France and work commitments here meant that I could not get over to meet you or to see the BMW R100RS motorcycle that you were selling on your website. I must confess to being a bit nervous when I, initially, came to deal with you. One reads constantly of scams and dodgy practices on the web and I was aiming to spend a fair amount of money. I need not have worried - you answered all my queries promptly and kindly took and sent me extra photos of the bike to confirm a few items. In addition (and totally above and beyond the call of duty) you sorted out both the paperwork and the delivery of the bike - after keeping it for me for several months; as I had nowhere to do so - all without charge! I am a confirmed fan and would not hesitate to (and will) recommend your services to all and sundry; a gem of a discovery.

I look forward to our next trade!
Thank you so much.

Hi Adrian,
Thank you for the delivery of Henry now re-named Harriet, I am so glad you like Milly she was special to us and I was sorry to see her go, however she was very restricted in her use as her age would"nt let her go out in the wet or dark. Henry on the other hand ( oops Harriet ) will be used much more.  Seriously though I am pleased with the Triumph, I have just ordered some door edging from Rimmers and a new set of carpets from Coverdale. That should see her to show condition. Thanks for your integrity I will look forward to doing Business with you again. Regards John and alison


Dear Adrian,
        notifies you that the bike came right to my home.
The packaging in wooden box made by Elite Shipping was very sturdy and well made. The bike was locked so perfect.
The Green Norton 850 is very nice and I like it.
I must say I am very happy with the bikes that you've sold me.
Thank you very much.
You deserve trust.
Now I greet you cordially.

Adrian.
I am just back from a great 3 days away touring with the new love of my life (don`t tell my wife) my 1973 MGB GT which I purchased from you very recently.
In buying this classic from you I did something that after 57 years on this earth I thought I would never do and that is buy a car without seeing it. To say the car is everything you stated is an understatement as you did not tell me that is drives brilliantly. Brian delivered the car and went though everything on the car for me, well done Brian and thanks for patience. The condition of the car is a you stated fabulous both outside and inside. I am so glad that I chose your company to make my first classic car purchase and I can see that it will not be the last purchase from you.I would and have already recommended Spinning Wheels to many of my friends.Many thanks for a fantastic service and the fact that you delivered the car all the way to Edinburgh from Chesterfield is testament of your calibre of service.

Adrian,
Just a quick note to say that the 1962 Rover P4 purchased from you the other week is a delight. I have now covered a few hundred miles and she drives superbly. Buying a car I haven't seen from a man I don't know isn't the kind of thing I do and in general advice is not to do it. However from the first tentative email to you and from phone conversations I somehow felt that you were a man I could trust and my instinct was correct. Having waited 40 years to acquire a P4 I am delighted with the one I have. On arriving at your premises to see her all polished up and under cover sent out the right message. To find half a tank of petrol in her and a new car jack was the topping, or at least I thought until, while the paperwork was being sorted out you had the exhaust on my partners car welded up so we both had a good journey home. I would not hesitate to purchase another car from you should we require one in the future.
Many thanks
Brad and Sergey
 


Hello Adrian, as you promised, the Porsche 944 Owners Manual and service books duly arrived last week. Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather, I have only been out in the car once, however, I did a 50 miles round trip just before Christmas and I have to say, not only does the Porsche look superb, it drives just as well. Most people who see the car simply don’t  believe that it is original and not the subject of a multi thousand pounds restoration. I now have a list of friends ( including several ladies I am glad to say), waiting for a drive, roll on Spring!Needless to say, I am delighted with my purchase, it is very refreshing in this day and age to deal with someone who has, what are now considered old fashioned virtues such as honesty and integrity, I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wishing to purchase a Classic Car in total confidence, indeed, I will be looking for a Convertible myself from you later this year.

Thanks’ once again and Kind regards,
Selwyn

 
Good Morning Adrian, just a note to say thank you for the swift deal over our purchase of the Ford Capri 2.8i we are now on our third purchase from the Spinning Wheel and what a great hobby Classic cars are, why buy modern cars when classic do not depreciate?
will look forward to our next purchase from you meanwhile best regards to you all.
Chris, Paula

I’m a fully qualified motor vehicle engineer (cars, bikes and trucks). This is the second motorcycle I have purchased from Adrian at Spinning Wheel Classics. I have been delighted with each deal and was impressed on both occasions with the quality of the bikes, professionalism, knowledge and friendliness of Adrian and his team.
If you are interested in Classic Cars or Motorcycles, then the Spinning  Wheel  website should be on your 'favourites' list as Adrian’s  stock is always very interesting and changing on a regular basis (almost daily).
Keep up the good work Adrian and thanks again for your help in purchasing the two bikes. I look forward to doing some more business with you in the future.

Graham, M.I.M.I .

Hello Adrian.

Thanks for all what You do for me.,I am very Happy with the bike,its a nice bike, Many greeting to Brian nice people. When You more classic racer mail  me.
Best Regards.Gerhard S****, Tubbergen,Holland

Hi Adrian

Many thanks for the way you assisted me with the recent purchase of the MGB. It is truly an excellent example of a classic car and your professional manner made it easy to decide to go ahead with the sale and know that I could trust you in the future to look after the car. I think it is important that when you are buying a classic car you have all the fact and you were clearly open and honest throughout. Your recommendations for insurance proved to be very useful and got me a brilliant deal, and arranging the delivery of the car to my home by a very nice man (Tim Hunt) completed a very special experience.

 Regards Rod

Adrian,

This is just a quick note to say thank you very much for all you assistance in the purchase of my Mini.
The car drove like a dream all the way to the boat and home.  It was even better than I had anticipated it to be.
 If you ever get a MKI Mini Cooper or S give me a shout as I would have no hesitation in doing business with you in the future.

 Kind Regards

Andrew.

Afternoon Adrian,

Just a quick note to say a big thank you for all the help and assistance with my recent purchase it was a pleasure to deal with you and the team from the first visits when I was like a child in a toy shop looking round all the toys you and you team were always happy to chat a discuss my requirements and advise accordingly.  My boys and Father were thrilled when you quite happily dedicated all Saturday morning to letting us test drive the MG with you.  It didn’t stop there your after sales service was just as good as the pre sales service which is like a breath of fresh air in this country which is sadly lacking in customer service at times.  I run my own business we drive our success through offering great service and value and its good to see we aren’t on our own.
Thanks again.

Regards

 Simon
 

Afternoon Adrian,

Just to let you know that I have just received the V5C and MOT for the MGV8 as you promised. I would like to thank you for your exceptionally good service from the start to the finish of this transaction. It is not without some trepidation that I embarked on spending quite a sum of money on a car that I had never seen, from a man that I had never met, 300 miles away. After years of buying smart German cars from smart suited salesmen who never quite measure up to the promise, it has been a pleasure to deal with a business that delivered  just what it promised. The vehicle was delivered at the time you said, it was in the condition you said, the history file was as complete as you said, and at a fair price, I don’t think anyone can ask much more! I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone who feels a little nervous about buying “unseen” In fact I already have, so please let me know if you obtain an MGB GT V8 I have a likely purchaser.

 Best Regards

 Deane

Thank you for finding my dream car. The "new" one is not only my ideal colour and trim combination, but it's as near perfection as you're realistically likely to get this side of a concours example, which would cost considerably more. So, similar engine, more responsive gearbox, silent suspension, positive, play-free steering; it all adds up to driving with a smile. I've been in some newer Jags, and they can't quite match this sublime combination of whisper-quiet performance, comfort, roadholding and handling, and other marques are still nowhere near, nearl thirty years on. Why Jaguar have spent all that development money over the past years, when all they had to do was equip the engine with a 4-valve head (Walkinshaw did one), a modern ECU and injection system, give it a modern gearbox and pay more attention to corrosion resistance, is quite beyond me. So it's off back to Friuli with a smile on my face, and I'll start looking for a nice Fiat 500 for you, and some Prosecco.

Cheers. Mark.

Hi Adrian

 The MGC i recently bought from you is to date the "Best" classic i have owned, it looks and drives superb,I'm off to Tatton Park classic car show this weekend to display it.
Thanks again for the great service,

 Ray.

Dear Adrian,
Many thanks for the delivery of the 1936 Standard Light 10. It was good to meet Brian. He was very helpful.
The car runs well and even my wife, who thinks i am truly mad, likes it and enjoyed her first run in it.
I shouldn't call the car an 'it'. ! She is definitely feminine and we have called her Georgina!
It was indeed good to do business with you.

 All good wishes.
Richard xxxx.

Hi Adrian...........just a quick email to say how well the Capri 2.8i drove on my 300 mile journey home..it never missed a beat and turned a few heads as well...!!!! I must say Adrian i do appreciate you giving me the opportunity to purchase the car in view of the huge interest you had in the vehicle...and thank you for that..!! As mentioned if i ever am tempted to sell the Capri i will let you have it back on SOR so as hopefully you will earn some more out of it 2nd time around..cheers and all the best John
Hello Adrian,
 
Since picking up my MGB from you last week, it has lived up to all your promises and assurances about the car. I am delighted with the whole experience and so pleased to at last be driving an MGB. 
As you know being my first classic car I had my concerns about making sure I got things right and did not want to buy something unsuitable for my needs. Your help in guiding me towards the right motor was very appreciated and for that I extremely greatful. In this day and age it is rare to find a business with such a high level of integrity and honesty, especially in the motor trade. You are what all businesses should be targeting to achieve, customer and dealer satisfaction so that both sides enjoy the experience and benefit. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to other potential new comers to classic cars. 
 
Thank you again Adrian, I will certainly be back, but it will have to be MGB again!
 
Best regards
 
Philip.

Hi Adrian

     Just a short note to say what a pleasure it was to do business with you from start to finish ,the bike (250ducati ) was perfect better than I had hoped thank you for your help again and hope  and wouldn’t hesitate to buy again from yourself .

      Cheers Graham.

Hi Adrian, just a few words to say thanks for the swift and pleasant way you dealt with the sale and delivery of the DRK.  I'm delighted with the little car and am pleased with the way it handles and performs.It was good to meet up with Tim and his family and have some input about the vehicles previous history, very satisfactory altogether.

     I'm a happy customer

Kind regards,    Mark

Adrian
A quick email to let you know that the Rover 3500S performed impeccably all the way to Edinburgh.  I wish the same could be said for my Vectra which broke down on the A1 south of Wetherby and went home on the back of a breakdown truck!  Modern cars......
I picked up the usual little foibles that classic cars suffer from but nothing I wasn’t expecting and certainly nothing that will cause my any great concern.  Things like a flickering ‘Brake’ light which is common and probably a result of the car having the longest run it’s had for a while.  The most bizarre being the front foglight which comes on when you press the brake pedal. I suspect the other would come on too but the bulb has blown.  The fog-light wiring will be a job for me one weekend soon as when you select foglights on the switch, all the lights go out and the foglights don’t come on.
Anyway, like I said apart from that it was impeccable.  It was a pleasure doing business with you.

 Kind regards

Adrian,
 
Thank you for everything on Friday. The MGA lives up fully to my expectations (and more) and I have had a grin on my face when travelling the road to Hull and then criss-crossing the Netherlands at the week-end. I have completed 600 miles in her since Friday and she has not missed a beat. Her water temperature and oil pressure are constant. She is full of character. She built up quite a fan club on the car deck of the ferry and seems to raise a smile most places she goes. I am submitting a testimonial on your website which I hope you will find useful for publication on the site.

With thanks and kind regards,

Hector  ( Netherlands) 

Re: TS20 Tiger Cub / Spinning Wheel 

Hello Adrian, I just want to say thank you for the excellent service you have given me on the purchase of the motorcycle.The machine is absolutly gorgeous and will play an important part of the collection.I will thoroughly recommend Spinning Wheel to anyone who is looking for a high standard of machine and service.Many thanks.

Hello Adrian,

 What I can honestly say with no reservations at all is: "thank you". I know it's not much but thanks for the way the trans-national purchase of the 1976 Ossa 250 cc Enduro has been arranged.
The purchase went rather quickly and so did the delivery. It was well worth it. I am absolutely delighted with it !!!

 Best Regards
Graziano

Hi Adrian

A faultless drive back to Newthorpe where she is now safely garaged. Very impressed with the overdrive for such an "old lady", very smooth indeed. No problem now with the gear changing but had to remind myself to push the brakes harder due to years of power assisted driving.
I now have the classic I've been searching for over the last 2 yrs and was very pleased to be able to draw on your experience. I feel I've been dealt with honestly and would recommend you to anyone. Above all I feel I can discuss any future maintenance issues with you where my own knowledge is lacking.
I hope you wont mind me dropping by from time to time just to see what you have in stock and a chat, if you have the time. You look good on the video and picture!
Best regards,
Tony

hello adrian, I am very content with the "superb" motor bike. Still thank you with the boys who came to Paris. Or are you on my command for the griffith?

Hi  just to thank you and brian for the great job on the mga

Hi Adrian
Just a note to say how happy I am with the BSA A65 Lightning Clubmans, it really is a stunning looking bike, its just a pity I didn’t have it earlier to enjoy the fantastic summer we had up here this year. It’s very much the case if the rest of the UK has a poor summer we have a good one!!! The bike itself after a number of runs and a few adjustments, which my brother in law has done (he is a keen biker and runs his own garage), is really starting to run well, with hardly a crack or bang at all now after you start her from cold. I thought I should to say you were a pleasure to deal with, with a very relaxed and friendly style and if my wife allows it, you will definitely be one off the first classic dealer’s that I look up for any future purchases.
Best Regards

Hi Adrian,
Just to let you know that we are really happy with the Spitfire. It's exactly as you said it would be and we're trying to get it out between the showers as the weather has been terrible but we have managed to put up a few miles on it and are delighted with it. Thanks again. Dave B*****

Hi Adrian,

Just a brief note to stay in touch and mark the occasion that it is actually a year ago today (can you believe it?) that I travelled up to "Spinning Wheel" to meet you and view the Zephyr and, of course, agree its purchase.The car has given me immense pleasure of ownership and it is still exiting just to turn the key and start the engine - quite apart from the fun of driving it.  Many thanks for your help in curing the problem I encountered in the first few weeks.It has covered over 1200 miles this year and been to three shows - picking up a trophy for "best convertible" on its first outing (which was Ford Mk2 owners club).I still regularly visit your web-site to see and read with great interest about the different models you have available.Please remember me to Brian, 

Best wishes,

Mervyn **** (Wisbech)

Hi many thanks for the bike delivery the bike was just as described we are extremely please and had an enjoyable chat shame were not closer could have broke out the beers and gone on for hours.
Dad cant wait to get out on it now think im gona have to chain it down and mums trying like mad to squeeze into her leather jeans ...not pretty...
thanks again
Dan.

Hi Adrian.......just to let you know after the minor breakdown , which was soon rectified, the Dommie performed superbly all the way home. I was impressed with its ride and performance...cruising happily between 50 and 70....oil tight too.. after the 220 mile run...on £20 worth of fuel... The engine has lots of torque and i suspect a SS cam maybe inside due to the lively mid to top end performance. I got plenty of looks from passing modern bikers and car drivers alike. I hope you are happy with the Datsun...and the " sidearm "......!! Look forward to collecting the Ducati in due course.....Best wishes John

DEAR ADRIAN,

 I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP WITH THE DEAL WE HAVE DONE FOR THE TRIUMPH DOLOMITE. I HAVE NEVER MET A CAR DEALER THAT IS SO HONEST AND TRUE TO HIS WORD, WHEN I BOUGHT THE FORD CORTINA OFF YOU I WAS OVER THE MOON AND I ENJOYED MANY MONTHS WITH HIM. BUT AS I WAS WANTING A DOLOMITE AND YOU GOT ONE IN STOCK I WAS TEMPTED TO BUY IT AND TRADE IN MY CORTINA FOR IT, IT TOOK ME SOME WEEKS TO DECIDE TO TAKE THE PLUNGE, BUT I AM OVER THE MOON THAT I DID THE TRIUMPH HAS FAR EXCEEDED ALL OF MY EXPECTATIONS, BEEN AS I HAD NEVER SEEN THE CAR IN THE FLESH AND AS WE DID THE DEAL OVER THE PHONE I WAS PUTTING ALL MY TRUST IN YOU TO LOOK AFTER ME WITH A CAR THAT WAS AS GOOD AS THE CORTINA,BUT WHEN THE CAR WAS DELIVERED I WAS AMAZED TO SEE BEFORE ME A CAR THAT WAS INDEED BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED,. PLEASE FIND ENCLOSED A PICTURE OF THE DOLOMITE SPORTING HIS NEW MINILIGHT WHEELS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

GEORGE.

 

Hello Adrian, 

Just a note to say thanks for your help purchasing the mini clubman. I got her home ok Saturday night and is now safely garaged. She is totally as described and i am very happy with her. As discussed on Saturday over the phone, you might keep a look out for a 2000 mini cooper or 2001 mini cooper 500 with very small miles on it, preferably green or blue, i would be interested in purchasing. You might let me know if you do.

 Thanks again, Kind Regards,

Dear Adrian,

Just a brief note to say that the Hillman is performing brilliantly.  Once again you have supplied a car that is just what was described – a lovely, lovely motor car.

It has solved the problem I was having with my arthritic knee, I took it on a couple of runs last week – about 30 miles the first time and around 60 the second – to visit an old friend with a real passion in cars.  He was most impressed, he drove it briefly and now he wants one as well – well actually he wants a Hillman convertible (he has seen the Marks & Spencers advert on TV and wants one for the summer).

The car drove really well on a combination of dual carriageway, main road and country lanes and so far I am enjoying it.

I will take it to see my cousin in a week or so, she ran Minx’s for years and will, I am sure, be delighted to see one in such lovely order.

Best wishes. 

Alistair

Hi Adrian

Having enjoyed a good relationship with you since the early 90s, initially when I wrote about some of your fine cars from time to time in classic car magazines, I am now writing to you as a very satisfied customer. I have now bought two cars from you "over the phone", the latest one being my fabulous Mercedes-Benz 420SE, and I would cheerfully commend you to anyone, like myself, who lives a very long distance from you and therefore cannot easily inspect a proposed purchase.

The Mercedes is precisely as described by you, both on your website and in telephone conversations. In 50 years of buying cars I have only ever encountered one other specialist dealer in whom I could place such trust. This was especially significant with the 420SE because it was a model I knew very little about, and one of the most sophisticated and complifcated cars of its period, meaning that it was a car requiring particular caution when purchasing.

It is now three weeks since I drove it home to Scotland, leaving Chesterfield just an hour after seeing it for the first time, and it is everything I had hoped it would be. One or two fellow enthusiasts have commented that I must be barking mad to have committed to buying such a car without seeing it, yet I can honestly say I did so without any qualms, and would recommend the same course of action to others in the same position.

The only problem has been the non-operational air conditioning, which you know about, and which I'm sure will be rectified by having it re-gassed. I will keep you informed in this respect.

Once again, thank you for the outstanding quality of your motor cars, your total honesty, your plain-speaking (well you are a native of Derbyshire!) and your friendliness. Spinning Wheel really is a business to be proud of.

Best wishes, Martin
 

Hello Adrian,

Sorry to have taken longer to contact you than I intended, am spending every spare minute looking for excuses to go out in ' matilda'!  I have to say the whole experience of buying a classic car from you was simplicity itself - despite not being able to see her being up here in Edinburgh.  Having never done anything like that before I was quite nervous making the initial contact.  After speaking to you for only a few minutes it was clear that everything about the way you conduct your business was completely transparent and extremely professional.  I instantly felt at ease and trusted you.  Nothing was too much trouble, from sending numerous photos from all angles, detailed history that showed complete knowledge of previous owners, not to mention your passion for the car being infectious!  On top of all of that you and Brian organised the delivery of 'matilda' all the way to Scotland in the most horrendous weather.  You stated that if she was not as described you would take her back as  I hadnt seen her prior to delivery.  True to form Brian did not leave until he was sure we were completely happy with every aspect of the car.  Suffice to say she was even more beautiful than described - everyone should have one and I couldnt recommend you highly enough to everyone who has admired her.  Thank you for making a dream come true!

Kindest regards, laurie

Adrian/Roy,

Good to see you on Saturday and to be relieved of the readies for the Mini. It's an absolute dream to drive.
Sallyann had a grin all over her face on the way home. I still recognised her though, I've seen her grin once before....Thanks again,Spen.

Hi Adrian - just a quick email to thank you for the excellent and friendly service (as usual) and car! I am really pleased. As promised I enclose a couple of pics taken at the wedding fayre this weekend - where she certainly created a stir and got some bookings....

All the best for now... Geoff
 

Hi Adrian,

Just to let you know that I have collected the Scitsu/Triumph from Calgary, Alberta yesterday. Minus 44 an snowstorms on 4 hour drive back home! No problems with Customs or Paperwork...well done.Adrian. I would like to give you my grateful thanks, the Scitsu is exactly as per our conversation and your website. It is very re-assuring to find a straightforward, honest  transaction nowadays, particularly when you are dealing with somebody the other side of the World. It can be a little worrying! If you wish to use this E.mail as a testimonial or put any potential customer in touch with me, please do so. It was, and I am sure will remain so, a pleasure to do business with you. The bike is beautiful, can hardly wait for Spring!

Kind Regards.John xxxxxx

Dear Adrian,

Just to let you know the XR3i is still going strong (see photo taken at Notts classic show 7th may). We have enjoyed runs to shows and classic racing including Cadwell, this a quick fun car on twisty B roads!. Although one of your cheaper classics you presented the car in immaculate order, you offer a friendly, down to earth honest service, after 11 months we have had no faults or problems with the escort. We would certainly buy from you again.

Thanks C and M.


 

Hi Adrian.
 
Once again a beautiful car exactly as you described, What a pleasure it is to do business with you and your colleagues, What a pleasure it was to meet your father such a nice man also Brian it must be nice for you to have such people working with you knowing that they are going to promote your business with there excellent manner when meeting customers, I have not seen my brother Ted so excited since we were children at xmas i think xmas and birthday came all at once. I hope you found the M G as described and were not dissapointed.The only fault i can see with Jaguar is that it is my brothers and not mine,My day will come and when it does i will be sure to come to you, and i would recomend that anyone thinking of purchasing a classic vehicle contact you they wont be dissapointed. Thanks again on behalf of Ted and myself  and look forward to the time when i purchase my next car from you.
                        

Regards Tony.

As you will know we have purchased 3 cars from you over the past 5 years, one classic, one near classic and one modern day vehicle.
We travel from the Lancashire / Merseyside area to deal with you because we know that we will get the best all round honest deal for all types of vehicles. Your service from arriving at your Chesterfield site is second to none and
your honesty, understanding and help make us feel we are dealing with a personal friend not a Motor Dealer. We will of course always recommend “Spinning Wheel” to all our classic car contacts which  as you know are many, especially as we organise the annual Coast to Coast Classic Car Run and I (Ronn) am a registered Clerk of the Course for the MSA (Motor Sports Association)

 Thanks again

Ronn & Elaine

Hi Adrian,

Just to let you know we have arrived back in Ireland safe and sound. Thanks for everything I am really enjoying the car.
I may even be back to you within the year for another (I'm rapidly getting hooked on the idea of an '80's SL) !

It was a wonderfully smooth transaction thanks to your refreshingly detailed and honest description of the car.

I can honesty say that I would highly recommend you to buyers from Ireland. With the early morning flight and afternoon sailing from Holyhead we were back in Ireland for 6pm on the same day, having had the benefit of a nice cruise across north Wales to familiarise ourselves with the car.

Thanks again

 I would just like to say what a pleasure it has been to do business with you again in the last couple of days.  Over the last 15 years or so I have been backwards and forwards to Spinning Wheel and sampled a large range of your stock.  In every case the car has been as described and has not disappointed, and if there have been any small issues you have always explained them in advance of the sale.  I feel lucky to have found such a genuinely nice family business, who are interested in their customers and their families.Our recent transaction regarding the Morris Minor Convertible took place over the phone and we agreed a deal based on your description.  The car duly arrived, on time, on Monday evening and I took the opportunity to get the hood down and try it as soon as possible.  Once again the car has been as described – a lovely little car.  I will enjoy driving it – and when the time comes to change again you know I will be back at the door.
Best wishes, Alistair”


Dear Adrian
Further to our telephone conversation, we must record our delight and pleasure with regard to the Mini Traveller.  Firstly, your delivery driver, Brian, was most charming and helpful and a great ambassador for you and your company and explained in great detail all the things and replacement parts that were done to the car.  The car itself, which we haven't yet driven but have no reason to believe that it will not be to our expectations, is delightful and everything that you said it was - the condition report, the paintwork, the interior, the brightwork, the upholstery and general fabric of the car, not to mention the video, can only be described as first class.  We feel the Mini we received is just as excellent as the Mini we parted with and, considering they are some 30 years apart in age, this says a lot for the way you described the Traveller.  We are both delighted and looking forward to taking it to Poole Quay Mini Night next Friday and a Classic Car Show the same weekend.  Should you have any doubting Thomases buying a car on the same basis as ourselves then show them this e-mail to put their minds at rest.
 
From two very satisfied customers
 
Kindest Regards

HI ADRIAN, 

I want to say thanks to you for all your honesty, kindness, help and friendship when we were dealing with you for our two cars the Austin 1300 GT and the Riley 1.5, which we are now enjoying very much.  Your standard of business is very high and it is always service with a smile, which is very encouraging to your customers.As we are now good friends, I would certainly have no hesitation in dealing with you again, and I look forward to doing so again in the future, and I will recommend you to all my colleagues in the old vehicle movement in Northern Ireland, and try to get you more customers and sales.Thanks again for all your assistance which was much appreciated by us both.

Best Wishes and Regards and every success to you and your business in the future.

Hello Adrian,

Just a few lines to say thanks for yet another spot-on car. It arrived, as promised, delivered by Brian and after giving it a good "going over" I have to say I am, once again, delighted. How nice in this day of shifty "Arthur Daley" merchants to find and be able to deal with a no flim-flam, no frills and sharp suits, just honest above-board straight people like you and your company. As Brian said on his departure, you'll probably see us again in another 18 months to do another deal, but we'll pop in to say "hello" when we're in the area and I'll have no hesitation in passing on my recommendations. Please give my regards to your Mum, Dad, Brian and the rest of the crew.

Take care and keep well, Gerald and Judith.
 

Hi Adrian,

 Just to let you know that we are really happy with the Spitfire.  It's
exactly as you said it would be and we're trying to get it out between the
showers as the weather has been terrible but we have managed to put up a few
miles on it and are delighted with it.

 Thanks again, Dave Byrnes
