    8 years ago I purchased 2 rough Citroen SM’s from this guy and had them shipped to the UK for restoration. I sold one and kept the other and 8 years on it is nearing the finish line.

    Alex is a super nice honest humble guy, but the Beverly Hills Car Club has an unjustified reputation here in the United States as only selling "rust bucket" junk. I never thought that way. He sells everything from excellent to cars needing"total restoration! He honestly prices his cars accordingly!
    PS Your audio is awesome with Alex on the left channel;you right! True stereo! Cool!

He sold the bloody thing before I could even put an offer down!!..still remember I didn't feel let down, though. Seriously, this guy looks after people. Tanto Amore😎😎😎

    Been there three times to BHCC and the cars are awesome from complete to projects. Alex keeps lots of his own cars spread out amongst the many warehouses on site. I am amazed at the way the staff bring in the cars, photo them and put into stock. Alex was also inspired by a 300sl gull wing in Harrogate, Yorkshire. Just for the record BHCC is not in Beverley Hills but in an industrial area of LA.

    Thanks so much for taking me around BHCC. I just bought (I prefer 'adopted') my 1970 Bentley T1 from BHCC and had it delivered across the country to Vermont. I think the car kind of freaked out when it saw the snow. Sam Mansour was my sales contact and was a pleasure to work with as was Ali in the shipping department. I thought for a brief second I saw my silver Bentley tucked in behind the Rolls you took a brief look at. I did my entire transaction via phone and internet so it's great to see the whole place and listen to Alex's story. Ok, now I have to go back and re-watch all your Corniche videos to really prepare myself for the work I plan to accomplish on the Bentley. Thanks Gary.

      Congrats! Which one did you get? I settled on a 420 with a 4spd. manual with overdrive! I;m stoked! And it's all mechanically rebuilt.

    These guys sell dreams, not cars. Many do not run- you might notice that many of their cars are being pushed. The "dreamers" who buy these kind of cars better be talented restorers because (proessionally done) refurbishing costs will be higher than value/cost of a 'done' car. I used to be in that business, I have seen a ton of projects that just weren't going to be finished. Actually, Alex buys those too....
