Phil is from the Isle of Dogs. These are his actual words...

"At the start of the summer this year, I was flicking through a copy of Exchange and Mart and saw the DandEcars website. Being one of the first sunny days of the year, the thought of an open top roadster couldn't be ignored. I gave David a ring and he said that I could come around and have a look at the two cars that he had on his drive at that time."

"Having been without a car for some years, I was cautious about buying a used car from someone that I didn't know and even more sceptical about buying a car recently imported from Japan."

"It was immediately apparent that David was an enthusiast and not at all a typical salesman. He left me alone to look around the cars and let me take one out for a drive with no hard sell whatsoever. No surprises really! As soon as I got in the car and effortlessly went around the first few corners I knew that I had to have the car."

"Knowing that this was the first Eunos I had driven, David actually encouraged me to go away and test drive others to enable me to make a comparison. But I was so impressed I didn't want to risk losing this one."

"The car was immaculate, at 9 years old, the mileage was a mere 35,000 and the car was as new. Along with the air conditioning and electric windows, the car also had a quality CD player, tape player and radio, with speakers in the head rests and doors."

"Having test driven the car on a Sunday afternoon, I was the proud owner of it - taxed, tested, registered and ready to go the following Friday. I have spoken to David several times since buying the car and he is happy to give advice or recommend contacts that he knows are reputable."

"Having had the car for 4 months now, I have had no problems whatsoever and would fully recommend anybody to try at least one summer with a Eunos Roadster, the only problem is, once you've had one, you won't want to get rid of it!"
