We recently purchased a Porsche 718 from William at Targa Florio Cars. Very happy with the whole buying process and enjoyed the communications with William. From first viewing to purchase was nearly a month due to a family holiday. All at Targa Florio Cars provided us with access to the vehicle whilst we considered its purchase. We will certainly be back and have already recommended TFC to our friends and family.

I part exchanged a vehicle with Targa recently and was dealt with by William, their Sales Director. I have been very pleased with the service I've received, from start to finish! I'd had very negative experiences previously with several Mercedes dealerships in the Hampshire area so I was naturally apprehensive going in but I needn't have been! William and the team were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services and they have a beautiful selection of vehicles in their showroom. If in the future I look to part ex my new vehicle, I would not hesitate to go back. Thank you William!
Well. I've just bought a Lotus Emira off these guys and I have no hesitation in giving them five stars. Now the cynical amongst you will think well of course if you're spending that kind of money they're going to be good. But - my friends - that is not always the case - I've spent good money before...

Well. I've just bought a Lotus Emira off these guys and I have no hesitation in giving them five stars. Now the cynical amongst you will think well of course if you're spending that kind of money they're going to be good. But - my friends - that is not always the case - I've spent good money before and not got the kind of service I got here. It's always the little things. Like the first time I called about the car somebody (Tom as it turned out) picked up the phone after three rings. And almost right away I could tell this was going to go well. I also dealt with William who was very helpful in putting the right deal together for me. So. Relax. These guys are good.
I was in the market for an Alfa Romeo Giulia and happened to come across Targa Florio Cars. I popped down on a whim mid day Sunday last month to be greeted by Tom. I had a look around the car, took it for a test drive and knew I had to have it. Once back the whole transaction was easy. Tom was out... Read More

I was in the market for an Alfa Romeo Giulia and happened to come across Targa Florio Cars. I popped down on a whim mid day Sunday last month to be greeted by Tom. I had a look around the car, took it for a test drive and knew I had to have it. Once back the whole transaction was easy. Tom was outstanding. Answering any questions I had. Tom gave me a call the following day to confirm when the car would be ready. I collected the car on the Wednesday and cannot fault it.I’ve now had it a month, covering 1000 miles in this time with no issues. Overall experience was excellent! They have a lovely selection of cars and I’m sure I’ll be back once the itch for a change of car happens! I’ve seen some reviews mention the difficulty finding the location. Using the address on google will take you straight to their car park!

I had a brilliant buying experience recently with Tom at TF, possibly the best I've had in 30 years of buying & selling cars. From initial friendly but professional meet & greet, through an extended test drive, decent offers for my two part exchanges, then efficient arrangement of an independent review of the car I was buying and finally a quick & easy pickup of that beautifully-presented car, it really couldn’t have been improved. A duff battery that only came to light after I took possession was swiftly replaced at TF's cost with zero quibbling too. All in all, a fantastic experience, highly recommended. Honourable mentions to William & Robbie too, who stepped in helpfully when Tom wasn't around.

I have bought 4 cars now from Targa Florio and the service I've received each time has been excellent. The guys are great to deal with and are passionate and highly knowledgeable about the cars they sell. They are also very fair on part exchanges and have always offered competitive prices on the cars I am exchanging. The after sales service is also excellent and William and his team cannot do enough to help. I highly recommend them and I will be returning to them in the future.
Great support from both William and Robbie. Deep technical and market knowledge. Excellent service and seamless experience when selling your car or looking to buy a new one! Highly recommend.

I bought a lovely Mini Cooper Sport from the team at Targa. They were great right from the initial phone call to driving away with the car. Nothing was too much trouble and it made a potential stressful car buying experience very easy and relaxed. Super friendly and even collected me from the local station when I came to take the car away. Car was exactly as described and they look the time to make sure I fully understood how everything works. Recommended!
Robbie and Tom were great at supporting us with the recent purchase of our car. Excellent customer service and regular communication whilst it was being prepared. Much appreciated. Thank you again.

I received excellent service from Tom and Robbie, who were very friendly, helpful and not at all pushy for a sale. Thanks for the assistance I am thrilled with the car and cannot stop grinning when I hop in it!
