About Genuine Cars

Welcome to Genuine Cars and Classics – for Classic Volvos based in Wellington Somerset.

I offer quality cars with proper histories and preparation that I can be proud of and you can enjoy and recommend to your relatives, friends and neighbours.

Following the last 8 years successfully retailing all Makes and Models, I am now focussing on Volvo 240, saloon and estate, 244 and 245 models

I now source 240 models which are basically sound in terms of the bodywork and important areas where corrosion can be a problem. Some of our cars have had basic restoration work carried out to a high standard, so I can be sure that they will give the new owner good, long term service and are a platform for the new owner to build from. I've come to accept that the body condition is more important than the service history as even the most well looked after car can have hidden rust issues which can be very costly to put right. Mechanical issues are relatively easy to rectify due to the excellent level of parts supply both in the UK and abroad.

Unlike many Classic Car Retailers, we do offer our own plain language warranty, see the warranty page for details.

I spent many years managing Volvo dealerships and retailing Volvo cars during the 1980s and 90s. I have rallied a Volvo 360GLT and 244, completing the Lombard RAC Rally twice. I also currently drive a Classic Volvo 244GL in rallies.

Each car that we offer for sale will have:

Comprehensive Service & MOT History; Clear HPI Report; Fully valeted; Thorough Pre-delivery Check; Comprehensive Warranty.

Each car will have a detailed Youtube Video and History, and can be delivered, following inspection, to anywhere on the UK Mainland.

All cars are available to view and test drive, by appointment, in Wellington, Somerset TA21 8LT.

I have over 40 years of experience in the motor trade and I only stock genuine cars with service and MOT history. Additionally, all of our car’s histories are checked with HPI. The HPI Condition History Report that confirms that it has not been in any major accident or written off, is not stolen or stolen/recovered, has had no change in colour and that it is clear of outstanding finance.

We also carry out a full interior and exterior valet.

When the car is sold, it will have a thorough pre-delivery workshop inspection and, if required or agreed, a new MOT.

I can be contacted through email, or by text or telephone to 07792883103. So if you need any more information or have a question, please get in touch.

I don’t have expensive premises and overheads which push the price up, just genuine cars at reasonable prices backed by excellent preparation and a genuine, personal warranty.

I hope to meet you soon.
