Here comes some house pics, start to finish!
First up. Front of the house. Basically new windows/doors/garage door. Driveway regretfully was always going to be left, may address it down the line..
Ft. Very ugly and expensive mains gas and electric boxes.
This 458 🥵
10 years old, 8700 miles, 1 owner from new.
Cleaned by me from new including a huge 100+ hour detail when it was first delivered, and this is how good is still looks. No filters, just pretty much flawless Rosso Fuoco paint 🥰
A familiar car just arrived back in stock. 2022 VW UP! GTI “Clubsport”
15,500 miles, full VW history, Front PPF, Park and Cruise, Beats Audio, Reverse Camera.
One of my customers had a new car arrive yesterday. First UK (apparently) Turbo S with the Sport Design Kit (Aero kit), looks absolutely mega. He’s very good at thinking through the spec on his cars, and despite black not being my first choice, it looks SO good 🌚
To me this is the Defender 90 spec I’d have.
Just looks so cool, have some sort of old fashioned stencilling logo on the rear & the perfect daily work tool..Not that I can afford it but LandRover won’t even sell me a commercial one anyway 🙄
I am currently owed £216+VAT by a well known car brand with a dealership local to me. I have also experienced 2 years of their ‘customer service’ with many unbelievable stories that I think you will all enjoy seeing.
Clue no.1. It’s in Leeds
Clue no.2. It’s McLaren
One of the many McLaren Leeds mysteries is about where this fuel has gone.
I took the car in for service & warranty work 14/11/2022, 9962 miles & 3/4 tank of fuel
I collected it finally 07/02/2023 with 10,020 miles, so 58 mystery miles covered and NO fuel…
🤷🏼♂️
A few hours spent fitting the Cobra seats in the UP! GTI this morning (already spent a couple of hours doing the subframes), they transform the car. Just need to go take it for a drive now 🤪🥰
I was going to wait until the professional photos had been done…But I can’t refrain

🦄
My McLaren Leeds tweets have got a mega response, huge reach, & no doubt caused quite a bit of ‘conversation’ within the dealership. There’s still a few things I’m refraining from saying, the real juicy stuff. I’m going to wait until someone contacts me again before going further
One of my customers cars I don’t think I’ve shown before. Daily driver. This family spec stuff how they want, with no regard for others opinions or resale value. Refreshing way to do it given most play it safe.
Hate, or rate?
Next up.
“The missing one”
Probably the most special of the V6’s I’ve had. A totally unknown car, it had been rarely used since 2006 & then hidden away for 6 years in 2009. Only 8 in the UK in this colour, but this one always escaped the register. It caused a frenzy online.
Not the finest of days for her first journey in over 5 years, but it’s only rain and it’ll be getting a very thorough wash tomorrow - Doesn’t she look good 🥰🏎🥰
This car is pretty much perfection in my eyes. Absolute weapon to drive, beautiful looking, practical enough to use and enjoy and reliability to complete the package. I’d have one in a heartbeat if I wasn’t such a boring twat with cars...It would spend its life under a cover 😅
New arrival 🕷️
Mega spec 2020/70 Porsche 718 Spyder, 1 owner from new and just 225 miles.
PCCB’s, Burmester Sound, LED PDLS lights, Carbon Interior Inc door entry guards, 2 zone climate, decorative stitch, reverse camera, leather dash package & more. Front PPF & VAT Q 🤪
A rare find nowadays. 2020 RenaultSport Clio 200 in Alien Green, with Cup Chassis, Recaro Seats, Speedline wheels, RS Monitor & a few other bits. 2 owners, less than 30k miles and box fresh and totally original.
New arrival for stock. A little unusual for me but this 2005 Cooper S has only 16,350 miles and 1 owner from new 😵💫 I honestly couldn’t comprehend ever selling something if I’d owned it for 17.5 years, but sadly due to ill health he had to sell 😔
Quick trip (12 hours round trip 🙄) to central London today. Brand new Range Rover SV delivered to customer and brought his V12 Vantage Roadster back home.
One was definitely more comfortable than the other 😅
🎁 Still looking for that perfect Christmas gift? 🎁
Lord Bamford’s former 2011 Porsche 997.2 GT3RS with just 1,957 miles from new
Presented in Grey Black equipped with PCCB’s, Carbon Interior, Sports Chrono Plus (& more) as well as full Topaz PPF
After just 12 hours of being advertised the 997.2 GT3 RS was sold and now safely delivered to its new home. It’s gone to a wonderful owner (80 years old..) with a fabulous and varied collection of cars.
A fellow car dealer on the other side of the road at work is scared of dogs, but was keen to get to know Angus from the day we got him. So more or less every day Angus goes to say hello, and Jim is increasingly confident with him. Today Angus sat on him 😂
A particular highlight, and one that initially got McLaren Leeds a bit funny with me, was this excellent display of workmanship. Fair enough, exceptionally difficult bit of trim that is notoriously tricky to clip in correctly, but they just bunged it up with masking tape 😅
Fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole in my gallery.
Circa 2014-2015, age 24-25, no family motortrade history, no family fortune, just borrowed a lot from wherever would lend it and focused entirely on the rare, the stuff no one else would touch!
Today is a sad day.
The epic Ferrari F12 has departed and heads for its new home. A car I helped source in 2018, have driven more miles in than the owner (😅) and had in storage for 3 years, it felt like my own baby. A one off Atelier spec, £356k new.
Well it may not be the finest example in the world, but a Nardo Grey RS6 is hard to beat really, isn’t it?
Looks sensational. Debadged front and rear too. Woof.
Audi R8 coming back to base from South Wales
Manual, 24k miles, mega spec including carbon side blades, carbon LED engine bay, B&O sound, Mag Ride and more. Full Audi service history too with a clean bill of health
Incoming stock…
2011 Porsche 997.2 GTS Manual. 45k miles, full Porsche service History and great spec. Less than 100 manual GTS’s in the UK so a rare thing. Please DM for more info
The (other) new arrival.
Unregistered and unused, VAT Qualifying, UK Right Hand Drive Clio V6. 1 of 18 UK cars in Liquid Yellow.
Dry stored since day 1. Freshly serviced including cambelt & all fluids. 10/10 condition and like new.
#ClioV6
An exceptionally special car. Not many cars really phase me anymore, I’ve pretty much lost the passion, but the 997.2 GT3RS has always been my
#2
dream car (
#1
being an F40) and getting up close and personal, it doesn’t disappoint.
One day.
It’s a lot of car for the money. It might be 11 years old, but with full Audi service history and all the right spec, it’s a classic now I think? Super subtle spec too.
What do you think?
One thing I have been told by a few people is that they aren’t sure if my social media being personal & business combined is a good thing…Why? Work is the majority of my life, throw some dog and house content in the same place, who cares? 🤷🏼♂️ I’m not hiding anything, it’s my life
2022 Audi RS6 Carbon Edition now in stock and ready to go
1 owner & just 150 miles. Panoramic Glass Roof, RS Sports Exhaust, RS Dynamic Ride Control (DRC), Comfort & Sound Pack, Red Calipers, Carbon Twill interior. Extended Front PPF & tracker too 🤤
UP! GTI ready to depart tomorrow. Bloody love these seats. ‘Cheap’ fun motoring, loves to be thrashed and so rewarding, few choice modifications make them even better.
20 year old me really wanted one of these. Like, really really wanted one. I’m now 29 and I still really really want one. And I have a really good one here.
Hmm.
GR Yaris back from Litchfield.
Nitrons, spacers & geo
Miltek exhaust
Stage 1 map
Raised interior mirror
(Lowered seat bases already done)
Proper weapon, I’ve had a few standard ones and wasn’t massively fussed, this thing is now mega fun. I’d definitely get into trouble…
One of my customers who used to have a satin purple flip Range Rover sport that most of Twitter HATED.
Well he’s upgraded to an SQ8 and gone for a satin chrome purple flip colour instead 🤪
Rate or hate
p.s, he loves it and couldn’t care less what you all think, it’s his car
250 miles covered this morning up to Santander for the 27hr ferry. My least favourite part of this trip, I think I’m up to 20+ times doing this ferry and it doesn’t get any more enjoyable 😅
There is a group of UK Ferrari’s on here however…
The 1M is now live on the website 🍑🔥
2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe - 1M
31,825 miles, 3 owners.
Full BMW History, Extended Warranty
Great spec, impeccable history, immaculate condition. I’ve sold it twice before, it’s that good.

Saw a man this evening properly punch (clenched fist) his dog in the head, don’t know why
Debated for about 2 seconds if it was worth me confronting him
Absolutely confronted him, coward of a man. Happily smack his dog in the street yet could barely get his words out to me 🤷🏼♂️
