      I bought a Series 1 Elise from Paul without seeing it in person, as I live on the opposite side of the UK. This was a real leap of faith for me, as it’s something I’d never done before and it went against all my instincts. After several phone calls—during which Paul patiently and without any pressure answered all my questions—followed by a few email exchanges, we agreed a deal. The car was delivered to my home and arrived exactly as described. I was looking for an unmolested, completely original example in very good condition, and that’s precisely what I got. I’m delighted with both the car and the service, and would have no hesitation in recommending Paul and UK Sports Cars.

      Bought this great bus and couldn’t be happier with it. Service was brilliant, with a 53 year old vehicle there will always be niggles and with Sam’s help and advice we got everything sorted. Sam’s knowledge and approachability is fantastic and it’s brilliant for peace of mind. He has gone the extra mile! Loving our new bus!

      Fantastic people to deal with. I’ve wanted a Karmann Ghia for years and found one at UK sports cars. Dealt with Sam all the way through the purchase process and was kept updated regularly on progress. Delivery today and the car is fantastic! Just what I wanted. Love it. Would definitely recommend dealing with them. They are excellent

      We bought our 1967 split screen camper van from UK Sports Cars and had the best service and advice. It arrived today in brilliant condition along with lots of great communication and thoughtful information leading up to delivery. Sam has been excellent and Steve the delivery driver really great. So this is a five star rating to reflect the buying experience and customer care.

      We purchased a 1967 Splitscreen from UK Sports Cars in April 2025. Sam made the process easy from start to finish. As we agreed to buy the bus prior to fit out, we were able to have input into the interior design, and some of the features. It has turned out a great bus, and we are very proud to have it join our family. We would recommend Sam and the team at U.K. Sports Cars to anyone considering taking the plunge into the world of VW T2 buses. Thank you, Sam. 🙌🏻

      I bought my car from UK Sports last June (2024). It ran well making 2 long journeys of about 370 miles each before 'SORNing' it from December and re-taxing it from 1st April. The car was very well presented and demonstrated. There was no pressure to buy with my many questions being answered honestly. On the first day out this year it developed a fuel problem with what seemed a failed pump. While stopped, Paul drove by and pulled over to see what was wrong. After he left 2 lads from UK Sports arrived to tow the car to UK Sports. They found the fault and I collected the car the following Monday. The day after I made another trip of just under 400 miles. What more can one say, nothing but praise and thanks to all at UK Sports. The website is good with thorough descriptions of their cars. There is a good range of vehicles available.

      I have had the pleasure of dealing with both Paul and Sam over several years from buying to trade in. As many reviewers and customers have stated, Paul and Sam place no pressure on sales, they communicate at a high level and want the best for all parties. They are approachable, proffesional and will ensure your journey/experience is the best it can be. I am an ongoing returning and fanatical customer to which they understand, make me feel valued and address my specific needs, even going above and beyond at times, a true testament of their proffesional working ethics and morals. Their working ethos and workmanship is of high quality and one I trust in. Thank you Paul, Sam and the Team, you really are hidden gems in this world.

      Calm, knowledgeable and not a pushy sales environment - Paul knows his stuff and spends as much time as you need going over the details. Great place to buy a specialist high quality car. Dan
