This week we acquired two lovely previously owned vehicles. We’re very particular about the cars we acquire for our forecourt. If we don’t love the car, we know you won’t. If it’s a car that appeals to us, we know it will appeal to our customers. Come along to see what we have on our forecourt at the moment. If you are looking for something particular, let us know because we have a big source list, and will probably be able to find it for you.

Recently, we were asked to source a particular car for a customer. He was delighted and, because of that service, sold his previous vehicle through us – which another lucky local customer was able to drive away - wearing a smile! The moral of that story? With a wealth of contacts, made down the years; and with an extensive knowledge and love of cars, from classic to modern, from vintage to performance; Riddelsdells should be your first port of call when you are looking for your next vehicle.

Two examples this week spring to mind. One elderly and long-standing customer called us because he felt too old to continue driving but he had a beautiful car that needed a good home. Another popped along with a petrol can and just wanted £2-worth of fuel for his lawn mower. Apart from having two wonderful conversations with local residents, we had two happy customers. More importantly, we took time to give time to two local residents who must – like the rest of us – be finding this strange non-contact situation very difficult. That’s what it means to be part of a local community. We listen, we care and we make time for our local community.
