There are very few dealers from whom I would consider buying a 22 year old Bentley Arnage, let alone unseen, but such is Derek's reputation for stocking only the very best cars that I felt it warranted investigation. I felt comfortable with Derek from the outset and it was clear that he wanted me to feel fully informed about all aspects of the car. On arrival in Sussex it exceeded my expectations and the whole experience was enjoyable throughout. I would not hesitate to deal with Derek again and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a "top drawer" car.

I found Derek to be fair, pleasant and very easy to do business with. It's clear that cars in general (and prestigious British marques in particular) are not just his business, but also his passion. As such, the cars he sells present extremely well having clearly been carefully selected and immaculately prepared. I would deal with Derek again and would recommend his services to others.

I had been searching for a particular prestige car for over a year before coming across the ideal candidate with Derek in Edinburgh. It has been a real pleasure dealing with such an interesting, honest and accommodating Gentleman. I would have no hesitation in repeating and May we’ll do so. Highly recommended.

I am an avid Car Collector and have always been Impressed by the quality and history of all the Cars Derek has for sale, Last Month I purchased a remarkable Porsche 928, the car was exactly as described, and more importantly,, when I had been driving the car for several weeks I advised Derek of a minor issue,, he immediately agreed to help me rectify the problem. True customer Service,,, I am saving up to buy my next car from Derek C Mowat.

I recently purchased from Derek and can honestly say that from the beginning to the end of our business he was great to deal with, nothing felt like to much trouble and he went out of his way to make sure I felt comfortable with the purchase. I can’t speak highly enough of Derek and would recommend him to anyone looking for that special car.

I have just bought a silver shadow from Derek, we spoke for a long time on the phone and he told me everything about the car I needed to know. I was so confident with what he was telling me that I bought the vehicle without seeing it. I was not disappointed when I went to collect the vehicle and enjoyed a trouble free 285 mile drive home. He is a very genuine decent guy and what he tells you is truthful, I would recommend his services to anybody and won’t hesitate to go back to Derek in the future.

HAVING AGREED TO SELL MY CAR WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF DEREK C MOWATT, HE SIGNED MY NAME TO THE LOG BOOK AND THEN REFUSED TO PAY. THE AMOUNT AGREED FOLLOWING THE SALE OF MY CAR. AFTER SOME WEEKS OF LEGAL NEGOTIATION I EVENTUALLY GOT MY MONEY WITH THE HELP OF A WONDERFUL FIRM OF SCOTTISH SOLICITORS. THE EXPERIENCE TAUGHT ME NEVER TO LET A CAR DEALER HAVE MY ORIGINAL LOG BOOK. WOULD I DEAL WITH DEREK MOWATT AGAIN - ABSOLUTELY NO WAY. ! ! !

David Edwards in response to "NOT A PERSON TO BE TRUSTED"

There will be a lot more to this than stated here Mr Mowatt would rate as the best in the area to buy a preowned vehicle from the man is a perfectionist and straight as a dye.David Edwards

Ian Brown in response to "NOT A PERSON TO BE TRUSTED"

I have just come across a review from a Man that is indicating he was not Happy with some business that was done with Derek C Mowat ,Well he must be the only Man on the Planet as far as I am concerned,What absolute Rubbish, Derek has attended to the buying/supplying/selling some of the most fantastic examples of Classic/Prestige cars in well over 30 plus years of business, to uk clients and overseas.Stupid un called for comments,in no way dilute the integrity of Derek and his business, and me and 99.9% of his client base will remain to be loyal and returning customers till he retires! Fresh New clients to Dereks business will find the whole buying experience ,Positive and more than enjoyable,and be proud to be the owner of a Derek C Mowat Supplied car.
