Thank you again Adrian for all your help with my latest purchase from you. The car is a delight and even better than your write up suggested. I heartily recommend Adrian and Gale's services to anyone wanting to purchase a classic vehicle. Denis

Recently purchased a lovely Brabus Smart Roadster from Adrian. What can I say…it is an absolutely amazing vehicle. The vehicle was accurately described and Adrian was fantastic at communicating throughout the sale. Very reassuring for me, as it was a distance sale and I had to drive 250 miles to view and collect. I highly recommend Spinning Wheels and shall certainly consider buying from them again. Many thanks. Mark
​

Thanks Adrian Once again a very professionally handled sale of my motorbike . I’m sure many think it’s an easy thing to sell a classic but in this very specialist field you need an expert like Adrian. If you have a classic for sale, or would like to purchase one ,you won’t do better than to employ the services of Mr Walker - great job 👍

This is the first classic car I have purchased and I should like to thank you for making it such a pleasurable experience. From the first contact right through to the delivery of the vehicle things went very smoothly and without problem. If I am ever looking to buy another classic car I shall certainly turn to Spinning Wheel Classic Cars. Furthermore, I shall certainly be recommending you to other members of the Alvis Owner Club as a trustworthy reliable company to deal with.

​“I was recommended to Spinning Wheel by a good friend who had previous experience in dealing with Adrian. After exchanging telephone calls and photographs of my car I placed the car with him for sale. The car was sold, the whole process being smooth and without problem. I was very satisfied with the whole sale process and would have no hesitation in working with Adrian again.”

​Just completed my third transaction with Adrian and as usual it was a pleasure to deal with such knowledgeable and always professional business. Many thanks again Denis

Love your new way of business . I thought I’d miss the showroom but quickly realised it,s even better now. It’s the same old friendly and professional Adrian I am dealing with when it comes to buying and selling your lovely classics. And by mutually convenient appointments my recent sales and purchases from you were ,as always , a bespoke , personalised and thoroughly pleasant and efficient experience.
Well done.

Just recently purchased an mgb gt from Adrian and part ex. my gt, thoroughly nice chap to deal with. Very fair with his prices and very knowledgeable. Old school style of business where trust and honesty and transparency are upmost. Would not hesitate to do business with Adrian again no pressure and the customer comes first. Great business who deserves to succeed. Would highly recommend 👍   Tim H

​I have dealt a few times with Adrian and what I like about him is that he will always entertain a P/E with most motorcycles at very attractive near retail prices compared with others that I have done business with who only offer lowly trade values. Gary C.

I found dealing with Spinning Wheel was a pleasure. Adrian was professional, helpful, knowledgeable and easy to deal with throughout the whole process of buying by MG. If I’m ever in a position to purchase another vehicle from Adrian I would not hesitate.  Thanks to all at Spinning Wheel.  Jon

I don't usually write reviews but I am making an exception. I have, over the past couple of years had dealings with Adrian Walker at Spinningwheel Classic Cars and Bikes. I bought a lovely bike from him which was even delivered with a returns agreement should it not reach the expected condition. Of course it did. Unfortunately due to having to fund a private operation I asked Adrian if he would be able to assist in selling the machine for me. He collected the bike and transferred the funds from the sale as soon as it was completed with very little profit for himself. I would have no qualms in recommending Spinningwheel Classic Cars and Bikes.

I have had a couple of deals with Adrian and have found him honest and true to his word and would not hesitate in doing business again in the future.

I'VE JUST COMPLETED MY FIRST DEAL WITH ADRIAN AT SPINNING WHEELS AND I COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED. I SAW A BIKE I LIKED ON HIS WEB SITE AND I ASKED IF HE DID PART EX. HE SAID HE DID AND WE REACHED AN AGREEMENT THAT I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH. THE BIKE WAS DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. WHEN HE SAYS MINT CONDITION HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. I WISH I'D FOUND HIM YEARS AGO, HE'S A MAN YOU CAN TRUST COMPLETELY. I CAN'T RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH.

Thanks to Adrian and Gail for the very professional service I received over the sale of my car. I would recommend their services unreservedly for buying or selling.
Thanks again Alastair

I am very happy with the car I purchased. Adrian and Brian were fantastic to deal with. Spinning Wheel are a top-notch outfit. The car is getting compliments and open mouthed stares wherever it goes. I definitely hope to do business with them again.

Excellent company to deal with. Purchase of motorcycle during difficult ‘Covid’ period dealt with patience and professionalism. I shall be reviewing their stock list on a regular basis. Les P

I received my Mercedes Benz 230E today and it was the culmination of a seamless and totally satisfying transaction from start to finish. The Merc was crucial to a part exchange deal and Adrian's clear and speedy acceptance of my valuation of my Rover sealed the agreement online within a matter of hours. Brian, who delivered the Mercedes was not just the transit guy, but an engineer par excellence and, crucially, the service guy on the Merc and so he gave me, unprompted, a full and honest appraisal. Spinningwheel  are definitely a company to whom it is a delight to do business with. I recommend them unreservedly.

I found my Christmas present with the help of Mr Adrian Walker. The motorcycle reflects the description in the advert and the email contact we had was absolutely friendly. I am happy with my purchase and why not on one day coming again in business with Spinning Wheel. Daniel from France

Excellent communication, delivery was fast and easy and the bike was exactly as described, would buy from again.     G.S

Hi Adrian,
As a motorcyclist for more than forty years with a passion for classic BMW bikes, I am always searching for good clean examples to enhance my collection. Be it a passion or an obsession, I have purchased 7 in the past few years and as such have met many dealers and collectors. I recently purchased one such example from Spinning Wheel Classic cars and motorcycles and I have to say my experience with Adrian and the team has put them on top of my dealer's list. Collectors such as myself want clean examples at a realistic price and an open and honest conversation with the seller, with Spinning Wheel you get that and more. Adrian even carried out cosmetic work for my purchase after we stuck the deal at no extra cost. I received telephone updates and photographs of the work as it progressed, he carried out a full service prior to collection and delivery. If you have that incurable passion for classic motorcycles or cars, Spinning Wheel Classic Cars and Motorcycles is unequaled for quality, service, and honesty, take this from someone who has met them all over the years. Simply the best.

I am not sure how many times I have been to Spinning Wheel over the years. I think 20+ cars have been traded through Adrian and it has always been a real pleasure to do a deal with him. The cars have been honestly described and have lived up to expectations - as with any old car they have had their moments but never once have I doubted the integrity of this garage or its owner and my new MGB is the latest in a long line of interesting vehicles - delivered to my door.

Great dealing with Adrian  and Gail. Over the last couple of years .great bikes and had some fun on the way . . Mark

​Hi Spinning wheel, thankyou for sending the elephant a top a elephant. I undertook some minor restoration in rewiring and replacing the felt on the base with some leather offcut I got from the Morgan factory. It was well received for my wife's birthday today.
Thanks again and to let you know I'll continue to view your web page looking out for vehicles and collectables.
Best wishes
Neil

I was pleased to buy an excellent classic from Adrian at a good price. This was delivered promptly by Brian at a difficult time. A small issue was quickly and efficiently sorted at no cost to myself. I would have no hesitation in recommending Spinning Wheel after many years of buying and selling bikes.

Once again many thanks.

​Hi Adrian, Thanks for meeting me and spending time to chat before I bought the KL250 from you. Bike was a genuine untouched example and it was as described. Thanks also to Brian for delivering it to my house. Great service from start to finish. My kickstart skills are coming back as well. Kind regards, Nick

Genuine thanks for the Franny , it’s gorgeous and just what was needed to complete my trio of bikes from you. Your diligence and attention to making sure she was right is fully appreciated. I hope the little Honda was what you expected and I’m sure someone will enjoy it. Thanks to Brian for his delivery service, he’s a champion!

Hi Adrian
Me and my Dad just wanted to say a massive thank you for the amazing service received from yourselves when purchasing the Austin A30. The communication has been outstanding and also the work done by your mechanic is fantastic. We where also extremely impressed with the door to door delivery service.

 
Kind Regards
John and Laura 

Morning Adrian.
No surprise, the Mazda made it home and A******* fell in love with it, so everyone's happy
Cheers Mark

​Dear Adrian
I would like to thank you for your superb service regarding my purchase of (Archie) Morris Minor. I took it out for a spin yesterday, and was very pleased with the car’s performance. Also I would like to mention the lad who delivered the car, he was very pleasant and extremely helpful. I would certainly have no hesitation of dealing with yourselves again, It was a pleasure.
Hope to see you again in the near future.
Regards Brian

​I must apologies for not e-mailing you yesterday but time caught up with me .... as per usual ! So, many thanks for the efficient manner in which you conducted the swap of the 2 cars, also I must comment on the gentleman who came yesterday. He is efficient and courteous, rare in these times but he is perfect for the job. I hope you are successful with the Minor and it sells speedily. The only thing “missing” on the Metro would appear to be the “advertised” spare key? Do you you have it there or has it gone walkabout?
Take care and thanks again,
Roger

I was delighted with the service that I received from Adrian and his team at Spinning Wheel when I recently bought a Honda CL350 from him. The bike was prepared beautifully and runs extremely well. The sale went through very easily and all was done just as I would have hoped for. I can recommend Adrian for his really high quality of service and his attention to detail. 
The bike is wonderful!

Hi Adrian
ive just tried to leave some well deserved comments on your testimonials page however it appears the page is no longer available and as I'm not a user of facebook or twitter I cannot sing your praises to the world. I wish to express my sincere thanks to yourself and your employees for turning out such outstanding classic vehicles whether they be on two or four wheels. You are a gentleman Adrian and in my experience of the motor trade they are seldom found. I thank you for providing me with a spectacular classic car which I can enjoy and cherish. I wish you well for the future.
Best Regards

Hi Adrian,
I’m delighted with it!
By 2pm yesterday it had been taxed, insured, driven, and washed. I know it’s a cliche but it really was a pleasure doing business with you. Reliant Tempest
Thank you once again.

Hello Adrian 
Having taken the car for a long drive in Derbyshire I can say it’s awesome, pulls well in all gears with the engine no longer sounding like it was struggling, gear stick excellent, so many thanks for spotting these upgrades,13 years and now it’s a new car, See you later In the year for service and mot.

The formalities completed on Wednesday 26-9 I am now the proud owner of the Puch M125!
 As you know the purchase depended on taking a part-exchange which you accepted, subject to an accurate description, without trial. In fact you made an improved offer than first discussed helping me to proceed.
Although my purchase of the M125 became protracted due to some quite major unforeseen defects, I must thank you for the identification and the task of repairs which were taken to completion in a wholly responsible fashion before release from the workshop.
Culminating with delivery I was treated to Brian's friendly manner and resourcefulness to introduce me to the M125 and complete the sale formalities easily. 
Again my thanks for dealing with you in a business which isn't always so trusting and fair.
All the best
Keith
