Classic Replicas Beware!
CLASSIC REPLICAS BEWARE! CLASSIC REPLICAS BEWARE! CLASSIC REPLICAS BEWARE! CLASSIC REPLICAS BEWARE!
This company offers to make you a Ferrari Dino Replica it is still running and at present have a large sum of my money with no sign of a promised car or returning my funds.
I was told by GORDON AINSLEY (owner of Classic replicas) I was buying a part built car from a customer who was unable to take the car.
My experiences of this man now puts this in question. If you are being offered a car from this company it is more than likely mine!
The car was promised to be ready in April /May. Then with out contacting me it moved to June. When I called to see how it was going and subsequently visited (in June) I was told End July. When I got there I found the car no where near complete. No doors, Boot, bonnet, Glass, lights, not sprayed, no wheels,No bumpers, no interior ordered as well as many other issues.
Gordon who seemed like a nice guy when I first met him but he has avoided me since the first set back and now will not take my calls.
I am forced to pass messages through his secretary and even then he still doesn't respond.
He has left me no choice but to consider Legal action against the company as I have tried ever other way to make this deal work, even offering to take the car as it stands and have someone else build it. He then wanted considerably more money than the car was worth and refused to describe the state of the car except to say it is as you say it when you last visited.
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE. GORDON AISLEY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED DO NOT HAND OVER ANY MONEY. I even mentioned the negative comments posted on this site once when I was there and he suggested it was a bad customer. I really wish I had spoken to that customer instead. Do not be fooled or you will be sorry. With out doubt he will be on responding and I welcome it.. He will say 'call me' but they are hollow words as he won't speak to me. He will suggest there are two sides as with a previous customer. You just need to read between the lines. This is a small business unable to produce more than 2-3 cars a year, if that. The same cars have been there every time I visited.
Ask to speak to a satisfied (unrelated) customer if there is one. I have never come across such a crazy situation. He is letting himself down and a potentially good idea go to waste. His staff are always helpful but without GORDON AINSLEY keeping his word they are left to pick up the pieces.
There is no DEMONSTRATOR, so you can't test the car.
Find a satisfied Customer if one exists.
Ask for a look at the BUILD MANUAL or a HANDBOOK (they don't exist)
Ask to see when the last car was produced complete.
If I would have asked these questions I would not be writing this instead I may be driving a car made by a company that cares.
Classic Replicas UK ( Gordon Ainsley) should be struck off any kit car list or forum. It is a fraudulent for him to say he builds Replica's.
I AM POSTING THIS TO WARN OTHER POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS
