MTSV Classic Mercedes

From start to finish a completely refreshing car buying experience. Mark is a decent chap, happy to take time to talk through any queries you have and is obviously a huge car fan. All my queries prior to purchase were dealt with promptly and in detail, with complete transparency of detail of the car's history. Honest and fair responses that happily focused on the downsides as much as the upsides. On visiting I was met promptly and had a test drive of decent length, before sealing a deal that was fair to both sides rather than the "take it or leave it" kind. I probably didn't get as much as I wanted but then I paid an equal amount less for the car I purchased and it was prepared to a standard way higher than you would expect elsewhere. All the jobs - major and minor - were done prior to the car being advertised, so that I am unlikely to spend anything on it for quite some time. No need for the "we'll do that after you have agreed to buy' conversations. After driving away, Mark continued to be as attentive to my questions and requests for help for additional detail on the car's features and foibles as someone new to Mercedes ownership and I am confident he is just at the end of the phone if anything else crops up. No wiping of hands once you drive out of the garage here. Thoroughly recommended.

I have no hesitation to recommend Mark as someone to buy a used car from. His descriptions are accurate and he is very knowledgeable not just about Mercedes but other brands too, and is a great person to have a chat with as a fellow car enthusiast! As per the website; no pushy sales techniques or pressure, just a genuine enthusiast with well chosen and prepared cars to choose from. If you have an issue, Mark works hard to rectify it straight away and doesn't try and fob you off. I'm really pleased I chose to buy from Mark and having browsed other cars at other dealers (some specialists, too) I am confident I got one of the best examples available.

Very pleased with the quality of service provided by Mark. He sources very good cars and is very straightforward to deal with. No hesitation in recommending him.

Some elderly relatives of mine are looking to sell their classic 75 350SL and whilst this particular model is not within Mark's own specialism he was an absolute pleasure to deal with and soon put me in touch with key contacts. This he did without hesitation nor wanting any payment, I think the sign of a true enthusiast is how helpful, for no direct gain they are, and Mark was top notch in this respect. If he conducts his business in the same vein the second I consider a later classic Mercedes he would be my first point of call. Knowledgeable, polite and extremely helpful. Top chap!

Like other reviewers, I can only recommend Mark very highly. I was looking for a 'modern classic' Mercedes 190E, and Mark had the perfect car for me. I could see he is recommended on the Honest John website, and the other Google reviews gave me confidence to deal with Mark. The initial email, text and phone contacts seemed to bear out the good reports, and I travelled the 250 miles from my home to Keighley. Mark's knowledge and love of classic Mercedes is clear, but he shares this without ever 'pushing' for a sale. The preparation he puts in for each car is extraordinary, and he makes clear any fault that he finds that cannot or should not be fixed. I've only had the car for a little over a day, but it drove beautifully when I brought it home yesterday. If you are looking for a similar car, Mark should be your first port of call. He's one of the best!
