"Car broke in 20mi"

Hi, I bought a car to James in "great condition, fully serviced and nothing to do except enjoy" he said. After 20 miles, brakes are binding, engine won't start when hot, Steering gaither is damaged from what I have seen so far, Contacted him, he said I should fix it by myself as the car was a bargain, or he buys it back. Behaving like a real pro, I agree for the buy back, but he "changed his mine". Legal action on going with Croydon Classics.

Nigel Atkins in response to Car broke in 20mi

There is a lot of time dated evidence to prove that this car was not in proper condition when sold especially coming from a MG specialist dealer.

Paul Garland in response to Car broke in 20mi

Hi, I have read your review. I purchased an MGB Roadster from James Barton at Croydon Classics on 4th January 2019 and have had a very similar experience to yours. In fact, an independent MG Specialist has identified several issues with the car that are dangerous and render it unroadworthy. Can I ask did your car come with a new “MOT Certificate” and where was that issued from? What stage have you reached with your legal action? Thank you Paul

Gave me 30 minutes of his time free of charge at the dealership.

Dreadful service!! The man there (James???), is only concerned with getting the money out of your pocket and into his.

Leo Lovell in response to Unfortunately, not helpful

I totally disagree. Croydon Classics helped me on the telephone to resolve a problem with my MGB without charging, and gave me phone number of specialist in my area.

Nigel Atkins in response to Unfortunately, not helpful

It would appear that Leo Lovell is an alias (or one of them) for James Barton the "dealer" at Croydon Classics who often gives the excuse of an impending hospital operation in order to delay matters. In response to my emails to him he firstly sent a reply of emojis which didn't transfer fully to my system, He then pretended to not know about his initial response despite it being displayed in the messages and twice just replied that he was confused by my email but when I repeated my initial email message he didn't reply. He is known elsewhere for bad service and putting up advertisements for cars without making it clear he is a trade dealer.
