My Dad has said there is a classic car dealers dealing in stuff including exotica (Ferrari's) in Seaham. As its just up the road, he wants to go tomorrow, but I'm struggling to find a name or location. Does anyone have any idea's?

Thanks

I live in Seaham and don't know of any, the only place for classic cars is the Aston Workshops at Beamish

Perhaps he's thinking of Snippersgate at the top of Easington Lane? Not that far from Seaham. I wouldn't call them classic car dealers but they advertise some interesting cars and occasionally a Ferrari.They've got a nice looking Ultima in at the moment.

Yes the Ultima GTR is nice but the F430 Replica is laughable

Theres two i know of, one northbound on A19 near peterlee, and one eastbound on A690 near sunderland. Can't remember the names of either, or even if they're still in business, but both had interesting motors last time I looked.

The A19 one has now gone. It's now Hyundai dealer.

I'm so surprised that's still for sale after it was 'featured' on here last year. For only £17k everyone would think you were driving a old MR2 Ferrari 430

I think Paul Cummings still does exotic stuff from his home in Seaham.

there is a classic car deal along the A167 to Darlo, just after Newton Aycliffe.

Thats Simon Robinson. He is primarily an MG specialist, but he does sell plenty of other marques too.

Usually has quite a few in stock, to look at. He has a website if you want to look at it.

Thanks. We ended up going south to Harrogate instead and found a few places. He's back in Dubai now so we won't be going to anymore anytime soon.

Cheers chaps smile
