Recently purchased a TVR Chimaera from Mark at Amore Autos. From our first meeting it was obvious that Mark was an expert on TVR's. He took the time to explain all the points that we should consider when buying a TVR, and was perfectly happy to take us for a test drive in a couple of the cars. On collecting the car, Mark was kind enough to pick us up from Bristol Parkway station, and talked us through all the paperwork for the car, as well as the controls and recommended maintenance thereof. We felt extremely lucky to have met Mark, who is without doubt a truly genuine and very likeable gentleman, with an enthusiastic passion for TVRs! Thank you Mark for all your help and exceptional service!! We absolutely love the Chimaera!! Gerard and Carolyn

Recently purchased a Griffith 500 from Mark at Amore. Being in the states I did not have the luxury of viewing the car in person but Mark could not have been more accommodating and helpful. The entire experience could not have gone better and I love the car. No disappointments, if anything the car exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend AmoreAutos Ltd.

Actually bought my chim almost 5 years ago and I can genuinely say without the support received from Mark and the team it would have been a completely different ownership experience. What they don't know is not worth knowing. The most friendly and helpful dealership you could possibly hope to buy from. Wish I could give 10 stars

I purchased a Cerbera from Mark at Amore in July 2023. The entire process was exceptional in every way – the vehicle was exceptional, the buying process was exceptional and the customer service offered by Mark was honest, transparent and efficient. You are not just buying a car but a relationship with an expert in the TVR community. Purchasing a TVR is very different from any other car. They are specialist vehicles and one should purchase from a company that specializes in TVRs. Being based in the USA, it was even more important for me that I purchase the best possible vehicle from the best possible company. Mark and Amore are, in my opinion, the best company to purchase a TVR from. Throughout the purchase process Mark was very transparent, had a counsellor style approach to ensuring I understood the Cerbera, and guided me through the entire buying, shipping and ownership process. The Cerbera arrived with me in Virginia a few days ago and everything was exactly as Mark represented. A first-class experience and the best place to buy a TVR.

Pleasure doing business with Mark at AmoreAutos! Selling my Cerbera was smooth and effortless. His transparency and knowledgeable advice resulted us in producing a top example to market. Professional, down to earth and takes his time with people so you never feel rushed. His passion makes you feel at ease and that he'll do a good job. Mark is awesome! Excellent service!

If your thinking of buying a TVR this is the place to go. Mark is a knowledgeable enthusiastic TVR owner and professional business man. I've bought a lot of cars in my 60 years but nothing matched the experience of buying from Amore Autos. Very honest and professional, I would recommend to all friends and family. Thanks Mark.

If you are serious about taking the plunge into TVR ownership, I can highly recommend giving Mark a shout. He is a genuine enthusiast who really knows these cars, but is incredibly approachable and an absolute gent to deal with. No question is too daft, and no concern too trivial. Although he doesn't sell basket cases, he does have a range of stuff in various conditions from pristine recent resto jobs to honest, but slightly tired cars needing a bit of work (which is what I bought). All are honestly described and can be inspected on a lift on-site. Buying a car like this should be a nice experience and this was. Highly recommended.

Mark at Amore is a pleasure to do business with. I have wanted a Wedge for years and found the perfect one at Amore. Zero pressure to buy and huge assistance in the form of a warranty if you experience any issues with your new classic. 100% recommend Mark and AmoreAutos. 👍 …

Great service. Very satisfied with the whole of the process in selling the TVR. They advertised on a number of platforms that resulted in a relatively quick sale. Highly recommended.
