A handful of comments that a few of my clients have expressed.
-
James Cain OBE, CEO of Harrogate Spring Water
“Working with Ivan has been a great pleasure. His product knowledge and attention to detail is remarkable. The professionalism with which he operates is refreshing and I certainly look forward to challenging him to find me similar wonderful examples in the future.”

Malcolm Busfield, second owner of 1976 Raleigh Chopper SE MK2
“I was looking for someone to give me advice for my old Raleigh Chopper after years of neglect. I finally had a bit of time and searched up my model online. That is when I found Ivan’s website. I sent an email and he quickly responded with some great advice. Ivan then offered to buy the bike and gave me a really reasonable offer. I met with Ivan to exchange and we had a great chat. I couldn’t wait to see the work he did on the Chopper. Very kindly, he kept me updated on every step. I would highly recommend Ivan on all things Raleigh.”

Mark Beeston, founder & managing partner of Illuminate Financial Management
“Ivan and I got to know each other through the car community, where his incredible passion for all things cars and bikes really stood out. When I mentioned an interest in acquiring one of the Anniversary Team Aero Pro Burners, he committed immediately to not only sourcing a box perfect bike, but also shipping to me in California. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I wouldn’t hesitate to deal with Ivan again.”

Simon & Polly Webb, keen Porsche enthusiasts & collectors
“Ivan has a very cool, adult head on his young shoulders. He is fastidious about refurbishing the Choppers that come into his possession, saving as much of the original bike as he can. He makes sure his customers are delighted in their purchase and ride away happy!”
-
Patrick Byrne, vintage Maserati collector & enthusiast
“Ivan was a pleasure to deal with. Honest, efficient and excellent communication skills. The transaction was very smooth, everything was as described, dispatched quickly and exactly what I was expecting. Have no hesitation in buying your slice of the 70s and 80s from him!”

Ian, first owner of 1974 Raleigh Chopper MK2
"What a fantastic young man. A real enthusiast, very warm and welcoming, with an infectious excitement about this bike. He was really interested in the back story and provenance. I would definitely trade with him again.”

James Molloy, avid classic car collector
“Ivan has a passion for all things cool, especially retro! I’ve bought numerous parts from him over the last few years for my extensive 1980s BMX collection, all of which have been exactly as described. A great lad with great passion!”

Laurence Webb, renowned Raleigh Chopper collector
“Ivan was easy to deal with and hassle free. A great communicator and genuinely interested in our mutual hobby. He is a young lad (well compared to me) but already has a great deal of knowledge on these classic bikes. He was a pleasure to deal with when he purchased my Raleigh Burner.”
