“Not being particularly mechanically savvy I was concerned about purchasing a classic.
Therefore, I was a little apprehensive about “wasting so much money” (a quote from my wife)

I needn’t have been worried; the experience of buying a car from Barry Pryke and his small team couldn’t have gone better.
He has reinvented excellent Customer Service; nothing has been too much trouble and had the patience to explain rudimentary mechanical issues to me, had to keep it basic.
He drove several hundred miles to deliver the car and then repeated the same journey when the car developed a small issue.
He was concerned that I was satisfied with everything to do with the car.

Thank you Barry, I am now driving round the country lanes of Cheshire with a big grin on my face”

Hi Barry
It has taken me a lifetime to acquire my MG. I thought it might be difficult living in Europe. But luck was on my side I found SMR The classic car specialist.
Barry assisted me in everyway organising accommodation nearby & transport etc. I could not be more happy with the service, assistance & consideration shown to me by all the team.
You hear in the media of so many rogue dealerships it was encouraging to find one with honesty & credibility.
As the Aussie’s would say ” Good Onya ” Barry !!
Thanks again kind regards

Malcolm

Doug, Hemel Hempstead, Herts

“Hi Barry,
In celebration of another ‘no advisories’ test on Saturday and readying it for its drive down to LeMans Classic in July, I’ve brought it into work today (100 mile round trip).
Still delighted with the MGB.
I had the dashboard out over the winter and it now looks superb inside with its repainted crackle finish fascia.
Hope you’re well.
Regards, Doug”

“When I approached Barry to market my car I had some concerns despite reading all the positive feedback about him. I need not have worried, from my first meeting to the conclusion of the sale Barry’s open, honest transparent approach was like a breath of fresh air, very much appreciated by both myself and reinforced by the buyer of my car. He is very Knowledgeable, helpful, approachable, professional at all times and fulfilled all his obligations promptly and effectively”

Hi Barry, I hope you are keeping well. Unbelievably a whole year has passed since I bought the car from you. I thought I’d let you know it has passed the MOT with no problems. It was described by the tester as a “very sound car”. With thanks and best wishes,

Kind Regards,

Andrew

perfect in the terrible winds this 15 february .

I have a lot of confidence with them and my next MG !! will be an SMR

MG , thanks a lot for all .

“I have been an SMR customer for the last 8 years, where the team have provided an excellent service for my my vehicle, not only in terms of top class repairs and servicing but also in storing my vehicle for me for long periods at a time. At times when I have needed advice on how to proceed with repairs, I have been provided with a balanced view and even though I have recently sold my car, I will continue to recommend the SMR team to friends, family and colleagues, a great service!”

 

David, Northwood, Middlesex

‘’Barry and his colleagues are some of those lucky people who make a living from their hobby. This means they care about what they do, they are good at it and are interested enough to be flexible about ways to fix individual problems on MG’s that have their own little quirks. I’d certainly be confident about recommending them to others.’’

Barry, George & Neil are among the best people you could possibly hope to meet when buying an MGB. On the day I went to see what is now my MGBGT, I was met & returned to the railway station and treated courteously at all times. There was no pressure to buy, just a willingness to help.Items on the car agreed as needing attention were dealt with promptly and the car was delivered to my home just one week later.Two of my friends already had MGs that were sold by SMR, and their positive opinions have certainly been confirmed.
