testimonials

The fantastic level of detail provided for the car, many photos, videos and description, and great online reviews, gave me confidence to buy without seeing the vehicle. The buying experience was brilliant and when the car arrived it met all my expectations and more. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from Simon again. Kate Avery


Absolutely fantastic service from Simon. Great chat about the car and very knowledgeable! Would recommend 10/10 for your first/next classic purchase! Philip Lawrie


Great experience dealing with Simon at Motodrome. Bought a 2013 Defender from him unseen and everything was exactly as he described in the videos he produced. Communications were excellent throughout and he was a pleasure to deal with Mark Davis


 I had a very pleasant buying experience with Simon, who provided detailed photos and two videos of the car I wanted to buy (walk around and a driving video). I was unable to visit in person, but I found him honest and trustworthy, the description was exactly right, and when my car arrived on a trailer it was very good indeed. We struck a deal, and the car was prepped and shipped, and now resides with me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, and my only disappointment was being unable to meet him in person and shake his hand! Thanks so much. Jules Russell


I purchased a beautiful Porsche Boxster a couple of months ago, MOTODROME provides a great service, car delivered to my door, I highly recommend Mark Hassell


Excellent service from Simon. Very helpful and friendly throughout. Lovely car, exactly as described in the video.
Five star service from Motodrome. Highly recommended! Henry Abraham

have been looking for a Jaguar XKR as a future Classic for quite sometime and after stumbling across the Car & Classic website I found Motor Dromes advert for a low mileage Phoenix red example. A good set of photos a video and a few telephone conversations gave me the confidence to negotiate a deal with Simon, and a week later I picked the car up with a clean MoT, service and a 6 month warranty. Lovely car. Thanks Simon 👍Julian Barber


I went to buy a VW Scirocco 2009 and received great service and communication delivered by Simon. Fare prices and well kept cars in stock!
Amazing cars in stock attract the attention!!!
Thanks Simon for the coffee and your care of customers. Daniyar Orzanhov


Thanks for the excellent service Simon – patient and no pressure applied. I’m looking forward to using the car and may well be back when I have some more drive and garage space I can fill. Chris Megainey


Simon ensured that the experience of buying an old car from Motodrome ran smoothly by dealing with all of the queries I had professionally and timely – Highly recommended. Simon Gratton


I went to look at one car and was immediately distracted by the many other amazing ones they had in stock. I managed to keep focussed and bought the one I’d gone there for and I honestly can’t speak highly enough of the communications, service and after sales care that Simon delivered. I’m not one to leave reviews, I think this may only be my second or third of a lifetime, but the world would genuinely be a better place if more businesses were run like Motodrome. Chris Boxall


Great support and service from Simon in buying my Defender. Lots of extra effort was put in to make sure the car was 100% right before it left him, even on a minor issue that is typical of the car and age. He has a genuine passion for the cars he sells. Thanks Simon! Mike Williams


Motodrome is an amazing seller of Landrover Vehicles and many other classic cars as well. Simon has an expert knowledge of everything known to man about Landrover and is a quintessential English gentleman. He made buying my Landrover Wolf a pleasure and he is as honest as the day is long. Really looked after me on price as well.

Sold my defender through Motodrome. Whole experience was well handled and hassle free. Landie was picked up from home, and kept on site until sold. Video, information and advice were great, highly recommend talking to Simon. Thanks very much. Duncan Brown


Motodrome (Simon) recently helped me to sell my classic car. The whole process was very simple from start to finish and payment was made to me exactly as agreed. I have now bought and sold through motodrome on separate occasions and both times has been very straightforward. James Rose


Very good experience as a Buyer and as a Seller with Simon. Bought a newer lovely Defender and he sold mine at the agreed price within weeks. Richard Hywel Evans


Just took delivery of my Land rover lightweight in desert camo from Simon at motodrome and I am delighted with it. An excellent service from a gentleman in my humble opinion .i will not hesitate to purchase a Defender from Simon in the future. Completely happy with this purchase and many thanks once again for a friendly and refreshingly honest service… Brian Hume


Great experience buying a lovely old motor from a straightforward, knowledgeable and honest motor trader. Easy process, vehicle delivered promptly, all questions and concerns addressed quickly throughout. Thoroughly recommended. Ian Pickering


A very knowledgable and honest dealer. Simon’s online photos and video are very reassuring when purchasing online. He was more than happy to discuss the vehicle in detail, agreed the sale quickly and arranged transport to Scotland within just 2 working days. I would definitely recommend. Peter Demick


Fantastic experience from initial enquiry to picking up the Defender. Motordrome’s Simon is very helpful and knowledgeable and made the whole process an enjoyable one! I was so impressed that I recommended him to my Dad who then purchased a Defender for himself 5 weeks later. We will certainly use Motordrome for any future Defender purchases. Dan McMillan


Simon could not have been more helpful or pleasant to deal with. Great videos on the website to help narrow down suitability of a vehicle, a quick call to arrange a convenient time to meet, a test drive and done. The vehicle, a beautiful Series II, was delivered 3 days later, on a trailer, at my convenience. Would highly recommend Simon as a knowledgeable, no pressure chap, who I hope to deal with again in the future. Cheers Simon Mellor


As a family since 2012 we have bought and sold 5 Land Rovers through Motodrome. We have always been very happy with the experience and would recommend to anyone. Andrew Clementson


I bought a classic car from them at distance and without seing it I have been in the motortrade for many years and it is the first time I have really enjoyed purchasing a car because the service was quick and easy and more importantly the advert was complete with all the information I required and the vehicle turn up as described! I would really recommend dealing with this garage. Richard Hammond


I have bought 2 cars and sold a car with the help of Simon from Motodrome. He is always helpful and thoroughly honest. Now you can no longer buy a ‘proper’ Defender, people like Simon are now invaluable as the second hand market will continue to see considerable demand. I recently bought a 2008 Defender 90 Station Wagon XS from Simon to convert to automatic which I’m sure I will use for a number of years. However, when I come to sell the vehicle, I have no doubt that for the best service and deal I will be contacting Simon! Tom Johnson


All good, very easy and fair. Would recommend to anyone Robert Peers


I recently bought my 08 110 defender from Motodrome, I couldn’t be more happy with the service and knowledge from Simon, after he put it through the MOT he replaced and sorted the 2 advisories and I picked it up ha ring part exchanged my pick up against it. I had a minor incident on the way home, typical Landrover 😆 the slave cylinder went! Simon couldn’t be more helpful we got it recovered back to his and he replaced the slave cylinder and put a new clutch in. Above and beyond in my opinion. Five star service and I would, without hesitation buy from Simon again! Chris Pell


I purchased a Defender from Simon in September 2019. I am very happy with the vehicle which has been exactly as described. Easy company to deal with. Dave Titmuss


I have bought and sold or part exchanged various cars on many occasions with this dealer as they always have interesting stock. I have only found them to be fair and competitively priced on every occasion. The proprietor has an obvious passion for the vehicles he sells and any issues have been resolved promptly, amicably and to my satisfaction. Buy with confidence. Paul Alexander


I recently bought a Mercedes from Simon at Motodrome. The car is outstanding, and so was the service from Simon. Nothing was too much trouble. He picked me up from the station, and spent the whole afternoon with me on the test drive and later while we sorted out the finance, tax etc. He put up 2 very useful video clips which not only point out all the best features of the car, but was honest about any faults. There was no pressure whatsoever; Simon dealt with me in a completely honest straightforward way and I wouldn’t hesitate to go to him again. Chris Lamb


Honest, reliable and trustworthy. Very professional service. I sold a car through Simon a few months ago. Excellent communication, he arranged collection, sales, and prompt payment. I really appreciate motodrome’s video feature where Simon actually walks around and critiques each car, and then drives it. He is up front and honest about the possible faults or areas of concern. This is why they have been years in the business. Highly recommend. Dr. Patrick Byrne


Have bought a vehicle in the past from Simon,
I would happily buy from here again.
Honest and true to his word. Scott Barber


Dealt with Simon numerous times now and couldn’t be easier to deal with. No messing about. Always has rare and desirable stock at competitive prices. Tom Gildersleve


Simon bought my late husband’s Land Rover Defender from me 3 months ago and was extremely, helpful, honest and made the sale very simple for me. Sophie Janes


Sold a Defender to Simon last month and found him to be very fair and straight forward would definitely recommend these guys Ranjet Chohan


Sold a Vehicle through Simon recently and found him to be very efficient in all my dealings with him. Would highly recommend. Nigel Stout


Perfect. professional and a pleasure to do business with. Would highly recommend Ailsa Barber


I have done business with Simon several times and will continue to do so. Very helpful and professional in every aspect. Janice Buckingham


have bought several Land Rovers both ninety’s and OneTens, I bought a Range Rover and I sold 1 Land Rover as well as a Jaguar MK 2 all through Motodrome to my total satisfaction Maurits van der Hoeven


A pleasure doing business with you John Pelesh


Just to keep you inform that the end of our journey was fantastic. We arrived saturday afternoon at home and the land was perfect on the road. Jules and me are happy to have made this trip and met so many nice peoples.

One more time, many thanks for your professionalism and assistance. Stephane Aussel


It was a pleasure and thank you for your perseverance – I will not hesitate to recommend you and Motodrome to anyone and everyone. Ian Job


My old faithful Range Rover that I purchased from you several years ago has never missed a beat. I appreciate your reliable and honest business Jean-Pierre Crehel


Many thanks for your good advice and skilful execution of the transaction Dr. Ian Vance


Found Simon at Motodrome easy to deal with and helpful. Good range of vehicles, would buy again should we another Land Rover within the company. hampshire field fencing


Sold my 50th Anniversary Defender to Simon during lockdown (June 2020) and it was a seamless experience. Price and service that I was more than happy with and all done remotely with a transporter coming to pick the car up. A few years ago I went down to see a Defender that Simon was selling and he was as good a seller as he is buyer. He gave me some advice and I decided the car wasn’t for me that time, no pressure. But that impression that I was left with meant that I was happy to let him have the defender off me a few years later. Steve Tong


We bought a Defender 90 from Motordrome and the service we received there was exemplary. We were able to look at the cars for sale for as long as we wished for and Simon was at hand to help us with queries and questions. The car we chose was superb and we have been very happy with it since our purchase. Simon made the whole experience a pleasant and memorable one. We highly recommend Motodrome to anyone considering buying a Land Rover.  Dan Martin


I sold a lightweight Land Rover to motodrome fuss free. Thank you Miles Cooper


the Wolf arrived on Friday evening. I taxed it today and have given it a good road test. It drives well with no knocks or bangs. All in all I am very happy with it. Thank you for your help and patience. John Marshall


I just wanted to say, thank you again I’m really happy with the defender! I haven’t stopped smiling! Elliot Cowling


Very helpful and very knowledgeable Richard


The car is exactly as described and I am a very happy customer. Dealers can sometimes get some bad press. You sold me the car for a very fair price and are a credit to your profession Graham LeFevre


Simon is a great person to speak to who is very knowledgeable, his video walk arounds are incredibly informative and give a great insight to the vehicle in question. I purchased my defender around 18 months ago from Motodrome and am happy to report that even after a year of good use, the MOT did not show anything. To me this showed the great care Simon went through to choose his stock and hand pick the very best examples. The warranty provided with the sale was of a high standard and should I have needed to use it, I’m sure Simon would have been happy to assist wherever possible. If I had any questions throughout the process (or even after as I had some questions about 6 months in) Simon was quick to answer the phone. Kit Townley


Dealing with Simon was a pleasure from beginning to end. He was thorough , professional and honest in his assessment of my vehicle and I am delighted with the end result. He has a profound knowledge of his vehicles and the market Shaun Evans


Easy to deal with, prompt payment for the vehicle purchased off of us. No silly offers or trying to under value the vehicle. Ryan Swift


Strictly in the interests of balance – a couple of troll reviews from Google..and our replies

extremely rude ! anonymous google reviewer

our reply: Oh good, another anonymous keyboard warrior. Presumably the one that called us from a masked number this morning, asked a variety of banal questions about a vehicle he’d made clear he didn’t really want, then tried to lever the price down with all the aplomb of a baby elephant forced to appear on Bargain Hunt, to which an appropriate response was given. Rude? Possibly. Justified? Absolutely.


Slippery gypsy Liam Bright

our reply: thank you for this review. For the avoidance of doubt, I can’t find any records of Motodrome having ever done any business with anyone using the name ‘Liam Bright’ , or having had any contact from/with them. This review has been reported to Google as inappropriate. For the further avoidance of doubt, Motodrome have no connection with the ‘traveller’ community (this review has subsequently been removed by Google as malicious – took them nearly 2 years, mind)
