Anybody Bought From Flat Six Classics? - Page 2 - Porsche General - PistonHeads UK

Of to test a handful of Boxsters with the wife tomorrow at Flat Six Classics - https://www.flatsixclassics.co.uk/ Having spoken to Sean, the owner, he seams to know his Onions. I know his prices are a little toppy, but the cars do appear to be very well prepared, "no expense spared" Anybody on here bought from him, or been down there?

One of the blokes in Porsche and 911 World used to bang on about them. Which doesn’t really mean much.

Been browsing for a Boxster and come across your thread when searching on here. How did it go? Be interested to hear. Hope you picked up a car you’re happy with, wherever you got it from.

His stock is all pretty nice, has a great selections of cars, Sean is also a thoroughly nice bloke.

Thanks for the update. Sounds good. We’re over in London, but tempted for my birthday present to pick one up to replace the MX5.

I know this thread has been dormant a while, but I just discovered it. I bought my Boxster S from Sean in August, and I have nothing but good to say about him. One of several top-end cars he had in stock, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed car shopping so much. Of the two I was interested in, he insisted on a lengthy test drive in both (I was reluctant to mess two of them up in the weather, but he wouldn't have it!), gave me all the time, chat, and paperwork I asked for. He's a true expert on these cars, and an utter enthusiast (as the BMW Ms and classic bikes in the back of his unit will testify; again, he'll happily show you around and chat for as long as you want!). Sure, there are cheaper cars out there, but Sean's are carefully selected, with plenty of provenance, beautifully prepared and backed up by a warranty. I could easily have bought a Boxster more cheaply, but I don't think I'd have got a better deal, if you know what I mean. I also suspect that if I needed to go back to him with an issue (I don't!), that he'd be more than willing to help out. A thoroughly pleasant and helpful bloke, who knows (and loves) his stuff, I'd recommend him without hesitation. I hope that's helpful.

A big yes from me for Flat Six Classics. I bought a 987 boxster from Sean in July. Superb experience from start to finish and a thoroughly decent guy. Edited by CardiffTam on Saturday 23 October 16:25

I’m viewing a 986S there tomorrow. The comments here helped me to take the plunge re quality of car. I suspect it’ll be completely different experience to my 996.1

Hi, I prep the flat six cars in house for Sean. They are all checked over to Porsche OPC sales standards and above. The work is carried out on site at Flat sixes workshop by myself a Freelance Porsche factory trained technician. I have 25 years experience with Porsche GB’s Special Operations centre as well as being one of only four Offical Carrera GT technicians in the UK. I work independently for a few discerning local clients and other larger prestige companies including RPM Technik and DK Engineering.

To the chap above, the Porsche Tech (sorry, you don’t mention your name!). I’m heading to Sean tomorrow to have a look at his GT3. If you’ve worked on that I’d love to speak with you? Happy to pay for your time and would want to be open with Sean that I’d made contact.

A few comments on that one in the "GT3 prices going up" thread.

In essence it’s a dog, avoid!

I bought a 2006 Guards Red Cayman from Sean in March with a history file as thick as an encyclopaedia. Can’t fault Sean’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the brand.

where about in North Devon is he based please?
