Testimonials

Thank you for a highly efficient and painless experience - car delivered on time, and immaculate. I have no hesitation in recommending Exclusive Classic Cars to potential customers.

Jaguar XJ X350 4.2 2004.
After being picked up from the station we found this immaculately prepared, serviced, and faultlessly ready for collection with all the vehicle records. Diane’s exemplary paperwork completed the sale process . No wonder this company has such a good reputation, such helpful people , every step from vehicle preparation to purchase was better than expected.

As always very helpfully service and a perfect car of quality. Would never buy a car from any other company, faultless and excellent communication.

Dear Diane,

Thank you for such a pleasant car experience – the best I have ever had.

From the outset when a colleague and I visited some 7 months ago – we were like
kids in a sweet shop – through to now when I collected the C200 estate. I cannot remember
experiencing a more thorough , honest and helpful presentation of the vehicles you have in stock.
I did all my homework and any questions I did have were answered promptly and accurately.
The extensive paperwork provided with the car along with supporting manuals is an example to
all - even better than when I have purchased brand new cars in the past!

I cannot recommend you highly enough to anyone looking for first class service with superb cars.

Best wishes for your continued success. Mike - Sheffield

Hi Diane, below review as promised.

Thanks Sam



My dad had been looking for an S-Type Jaguar car for as long as I could remember, It had to be right!



I came across Exclusive Classic Cars and found a car that could be the one he'd ways wanted. Immaculate condition, very low mileage, the perfect colour!



I contacted Diane, and from the outset she was super helpful. We made the 2 hour journey to view the car. Diane and Dean were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It didn't take my dad long to decide this was the car for him. In between viewing and collection 2 weeks later, nothing was too much trouble. My dad had a few extra questions and this was no bother for them to answer and accommodate. We collected the car a few days ago complete with a whole folder of information!



This is my dads new pride and joy! Thank you to Diane and Dean for all of your help. The whole process was seamless from start to finish. We still cant believe how perfect the car is. Definately recommend.

I would like to let prospective customers about my experience with Exclusive Classics over the past 9 months.



I purchased my first car from this dealer in June 23 (See Testimonial) and the vehicle has been used for a wedding car with excellent reviews from parties that have hired it who are always very pleased with the quality and condition of the car. I had a problem with the suspension which was dealt with without issue through the warranty provided.



I have recently purchased a Mercedes S550 and what a beautiful car in every way and definitely a excellent addition to the wedding car business.



I am usually very critical when writing reviews but I can’t recommend this garage enough in all aspects of the service provided even to the point that they have stored the car for me due to some unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances something I don’t think would be accommodated from most dealers.



If you want to buy a prestigious low mileage car these are the people to use.



Many Thanks

I took the journey to exclusive classic car Ltd in Burton-upon-Trent at the beginning of August. This was collection day of my Stype jaguar a perfect car that I had agreed to purchase after inspection a few weeks earlier. The customer service from the team is a credit to this company. From my initial enquiry to my signing of the documentation the process has been professional throughout. I would, and I do highly recommend this company. The information pack I received with my car is a personal touch that compliments the sale. Thank you from a very satisfied customer. Mr Joe McMahon.

MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM JOE MCMAHON 10/8/2023 - JAGUAR S TYPE

Dear Diane,

A few words regarding my recent purchase of the Mercedes Benz C class C200 Kompressor Avantgarde Sports Wagon.

I found the company “Exclusive Classic cars” whilst searching the internet for a reasonably priced Mercedes or Jaguar.

Looking at their web site I found few vehicles that appeared to fit the bill although to be honest I was a little bit sceptical. I was brought up with the old adage “If things look too good to be true, they probably are!”, well, in this case I was very wrong!

The descriptions of the vehicles and the amount of photographs to support their descriptions were excellent and as I found out, really did reflect the amazing condition of the vehicles themselves.

I 'E' mailed the company to arrange for a viewing of two Mercedes vehicles that were for sale. Diane answered the E mail very promptly and came in person when I went to view. Seeing the vehicles close up confirmed what Diane had put in the descriptions, the vehicles were exactly as described and were in astonishing condition. The car came with a full service history and documentation. The sale and collection was made very easy.

Upon collection a couple of minor issues (central locking related) became apparent but there was no problem, Diane booked the vehicle into an Independent garage and the faults are going to be rectified.

I should add, I was concerned that being a Japanese import to the UK, Insurance costs might be high, but I was very pleasantly surprised, no increase at all. I was also worried about the vehicle spec being different to the UK specification and making any spares hard to come by. I spoke to a Mercedes main dealer who re-assured me that the mechanical spec was the same.

I have seen cars that are less than 6 months old that are in far worse condition than my Mercedes, it looks like a new vehicle and all I can say is that I would not hesitate to recommend Diane and her company to anyone.

If you are in the market for a low mileage Mercedes or Jaguar, give Diane and her company a call, you will not be disappointed.

I shall certainly use them again.

Thank you Diane!

Being a bit hesitant about buying a Japanese import and having done a lot of research as well as boring a lot of 'petrolheads' , I am so glad I went ahead with my purchase. I researched Exclusive Classic cars in Burton upon Trent and was overwhelmed by their reviews and vehicle stock. I met Diane and Dean who were both very knowledgable about the car I was interested in. I felt very relaxed and there was no pressure to buy.

The car was described as 'Excellent Condition". Upon seeing the car that was an understatement. The car was presented to me in better than showroom condition, it was spotless inside and out and had covered less than 16,000 miles from new. It came with a full service history from its one Japanese and one British owner. It is a thorough pleasure to drive and feels and smells brand new. The interior leather and walnut is unmarked.

I cannot recommend Exclusive Classics highly enough. Thank you for a beautiful motor and first class service. I wish you all well in sourcing these stunning cars.

Good Afternoon

I thought bit would be good to email my dealings with Diane and her company Exclusive Classic Cars
I was pondering on buying another car and when you trawl through the classified adverts or look in at dealership there isn’t a lot to inspire most of the modern stuff all looks the same you have to look hard to find out what make it is
Anyway I came upon there website and had a budget and low and behold there it was a Mercedes CLS 500 with 31,000 miles one owner car with full service history I took to the phone and spoke with Diane and asked the question condition of the car and her answer was as good as new the closest thing to a new car initially I took this with a piece of salt anyway after a couple of days I purchased the car and I paid for delivery which arrived a couple of days later and I have to say condition wise Diane was spot on it looks absolutely superb
I did have a couple of small issues but Diane was fair and honest I took the car to an independent who carried out the work to which Diane paid how many car dealers would do that without a fight
If you are in the market for a real good car and I mean real good give these guys a shout you will not be disappointed I will be using them again and telling people about them because dealers like this deserve the light to be shon upon them
Thank you Diane
I will be in touch again I promise
Best Regards

EMAIL RECEIVED 6/6/2023 FROM DAVID KELLY - MERCEDES CLS500 2005

Dear Diane,

I just wanted to thank you and Dean for the whole experience right from the first phone call I made. Regarding a very low mileage Japanese imported 1998 Jaguar XJ6, I considered.
You got back to me as soon as you could just a few hours later. Which gave a good first impression.

You were both very understanding throughout and didn't keep me hanging on regarding communications/updates, this was excellent!

Taking hold of the car was going to be a mission doing it by myself. But the option for transporting the car to my address overcame that.

So far the car has been going well (and I think it will for years to come!)
I will gladly recommend Exclusive Classic Cars Ltd to anyone who is on the lookout for a low mileage car.

I will certainly consider coming back to you myself in the future, for possibly my next 'summer car'.

I must say in regards to a pleasant customer experience, main car dealers can't provide this. As I don't find them to be genuine. But I think Exclusive Classic Cars Ltd quite easily achieve this. And I have enjoyed the experience - because it is genuine.
Thank you once again for your excellent service! It has been a pleasure!

Hope to see you again. Perhaps for a V8??

Kind regards,

DAVID

Dear Diane,

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you very much for the excellent service that you provided me with for my recent car purchase. Excellent communications and the car, in the flesh, was exactly as described on your website – if not even better.

Arranging for the transport of the car to me certainly made my life easier. I sincerely doubt that this will be the last car that I buy from you but next time I wont bother coming to see the vehicle before purchase – your description is more than good enough for me.

Hi Diane

Just a quick note to thank you and your staff for a very easy hassle-free transaction. When I viewed the car for the second time, I mentioned a couple of things that were so minor I didn’t really expect them to be resolved. The car was delivered yesterday as promised and looks excellent inside and out and even the two minor things have been corrected.

Without hesitation I would purchase from Exclusive Classic again and have no issue with recommending you to anyone

My experience of your website and then dealing with you is very positive. The condition of the car was, if anything better than described and imaged. At the moment I could be described as like ‘a dog with two tails’. That I could describe a seventeen year old car as indistinguishable from ‘brand new’ is remarkable.

My only comment is that too many S types have serious corrosion of the sills hidden behind the plastic trims. I was alerted to this risk by a friendly garage owner and perhaps the condition of the sills and floors could be a strong selling point for you.

Buying from you was a very positive experience and I am willing to act as a ‘reference’ if necessary.

I just purchased a 2005 Jaguar XJ8 from Exclusive classics and am delighted with its immaculate condition.
The car is a Japanese import and I was initially wary of buying such a vehicle but after Diane took me through it's very comprehensive paperwork history and explained the process involved I was confident I should go ahead. Anyone considering such a step should have no fears when using her company.
I have to say, the car with its low 17000 miles is in first class condition and has been presented in immaculate, show condition by Diane and her team.
Diane and her staff are polite, knowledgeable and professional. They are a pleasure to do business with and I will have no hesitation in doing repeat transactions in the future.
Kind regards,
Philip Chisholm.

As a non-mechanical, non-technical car enthusiast, buying a classic car is very much a matter of trust in the honesty and integrity of the seller, and I am delighted to report that, for the second time, Exclusive Classic Cars have proved to be utterly reliable, honest and trustworthy. Ten years ago, I bought a low- mileage MGZT which I still have, which I still love, and which still turns heads. It has proved to be a thoroughly reliable and value-for-money car, which I shall continue to cherish.

I have recently bought a low-mileage Jaguar from the company and, once again, the vehicle is superb and the service was excellent. The car is immaculate and was beautifully presented, and the process of acquisition was smooth-running, easy and faultless. I would not hesitate to recommend Exclusive Classic Cars to anyone who wants an absolutely exceptional vehicle in first-class condition from a company you can thoroughly trust - many thanks to Diane and her team!

To all at Exclusive Classic Cars I want to thank you for the way in which you handled my recent purchase from you of my Jaguar X-type. The pictures, information and description on the inter-net were honest and first class and, when we spoke on the telephone everyone has been most helpful. Also, when we came to see you to view the car, Dean was most courteous and helpful and together we took the car on a test drive. Arrangements were then made for the car to be delivered to our home and it duly arrived on my birthday. Could not have been better.

Thank you all again for making the whole transaction such an enjoyable experience.

A family run business that is a real gem. Tucked away in Burton-upon-Trent, Diane and her family could not be more helpful and polite. My wife and I have taken delivery of a superb car and hope to enjoy it for many years. If only all car dealerships could make the transaction of cars as pleasant as the experience we have had.

“I have an excellent experience buying a car from Exclusive Classic Cars in Burton on Trent. During the viewings they were knowledgeable but also let us look over the car in our own time. They welcomed the independent inspection we organized and fitted in with the assessor’s busy schedule. In the end we bought a great car at a sensible price, with the professional delivery being the icing on the cake. Many thanks to the super team at Exclusive Classic Cars”

I can confirm that I bought this Jaguar in May 2022. I found Diane Bowman who was prompt, courteous, helpful and a plesasure to talk to. Although the car is not new, it is in absolutely excellent condition in all aspects and truly matches the photographs and description in the advert. This was echoed by the independent delivery driver who commented that all the cars at Exclusive Classic Cars are just as good if not better. They also gave me a bit of discount by halving the normal delivery charge. I have no hesitation in recommending them to potential buyers, they will not be disappointed. Jack Ferguson

Hi Diane

Purchased my Jaguar S type from Exclusive Classic Cars. Located in Burton on Trent. Excellent family run company to deal with. The car was an import back from Japan and was in Mint condition with only 20k miles recorded.
This is something they specialise in an have a selection of Jaguar models,
with low mileage. If you want a Jaguar or other Classic cars give them a call you won’t be disappointed.

Hi, Diane.


Please find my feedback as stated

"I had been looking for a good, clean, low mileage S-Type Jaguar for some time before finding just what I wanted, being advertised by Exclusive Classic Cars, on Autotrader.

Being a Japanese import, the car is excellent throughout and the mileage is very low. All of the concerns regarding paperwork and the import process were taken away and dealt with professionally and efficiently by the team so I, the customer, only sees the benefits.

On the day of collection, all of the paperwork and the car itself were well presented and the service throughout was friendly and professional. Very pleased, great value for money and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Exclusive Classic Cars to friends and family."

Thanks and all the best for the future.

God bless...
