Does anyone have experience buying from Tony Gilbert cars?

Located in Warwickshire. Going to view a car there and just interested in any experiences anyone might have had or opinions on their cars. Thank you,

Hi, Yes i have nothing but good things to say about Tony, We purchased our very first 4ltr Chim from him over 6 years ago. He only sells cars that are really nice. In between times we bought a New T350c we had that for 4 years.Left TVR to do other things, the other things did not go to plan,so we spent 4 weekends driving all over the country looking at Griffs first, all of which were not to our liking.(most piles of doo doo!!)
We finally found Tony in Pistonheads Classified, Noticed he had such a nice selection of Chimaeras,And one took our fancy over the rest,that being a lovely very low mileage 5.0ltr Imperial blue Chim, We arrived at his home Which is attached to a lovely windmill on top of a hill. we spent some time looking at the cars in his show room,(so much choice)did not know which one to go for as they were all stunning and well turned out.Then we moved to his other cars,there was my dream car,we went for a test drive,the rest is history, picked the car up a couple of weekends ago, You will not regret it.
Be interested to see if you go for the Bright green Chim??
If you want to email me via my profile feel free.

There you go Tony................Genuine praise indeed, Money in the post yeah?? only joking, he's a nice bloke is uncle tony...

I havent bought a car from Tony, but I called in to see a car with a friend who was looking to buy.

We were both very impressed with the cars he had in stock & felt Tony was completely straight with us. The car we viewed was superb but my friend decided to stick with what hes got for a while longer - no reflection on the dealer - the timing just wasnt quite right.

TG certainly knows his stuff...nice house too

I bought my old Tamora from Tony. Really nice guy, works from home - so no hiding behind a dealership facade or anything like that. I've only heard good things about him. The cars that he sells tend to be above average too.

Bought my current Tuscan from Tony, no complaints here! Fantastic car, top bloke and check out his house..........dream dream dream!!!! Say hi from me to him! He's got my old Boxster for sale at the min. (which is a top car to buy too!)

Bought my Griff from Tony 6 months ago, had as much time as I wanted, everything promised before collection, service MOT tax valet, was done and car was waiting on time. Easiest and smoothest way I have parted with my money! Top bloke IMO, top car as well. BTW,previous owner had traded the Griff to him and bought a Tuscan. Since found a mutual friend who is in the trade who does not have a bad thing to say about him either. Believe he used to be a Ferrari dealer, then decided to work from home.And I cant blame him, I want that house!

Similar to above. When I was looking I just dropped in "unannounced" but not a problem.
He was happy to chat and let me have a look around. Seemed very genuine and I got the impression that this is just a hobby for him now more than a full time job. I didn't nuy one from him but that's no reflection on him.
Also as mentioned above, very nice house/windmill and usualy has lots of interesting stock.
