Avon Group Ltd. Car Exporter

Advantages: Very good performance. Excellent handling
Disadvantages: Poor service from Ford

...First time I saw this car I had to buy it. It was in a ltd edition blue. Driving it just reinforced my decision. The handling is precise and great fun and the gear box is fantastic. With immediate responce when you plant your right foot. A great little sporty car and only insurance group 7! The car is cheap to service and returns approx 40 to the gallon. Look out for the cars with extras mine has reflex pack which gives you Fords heated front screen, once you have a car with this you won't want to go back to scraping ice. Only trouble i've had is with customer service at my local garage. Had a few little niggles - nothing serious, but it took them ages to arrange sorting something out. Over all a great little car and feels very solid. Would definately consider another Ford Fiesta.... Read review

...I have been dealing with IBC for a number of years now and I have never had the problems expeirenced with the person who wrote the last review.

However if you bid and you do not win, the deposit is refundable. As for other exporters, the concern I have always had is the lack of information about the car. Im not going to buy a car on the basis of a few pictures and a poor description if I do not have a good relationship with the exporter. With IBC you get as many... Read review

Advantages: Good road holding
Disadvantages: Pricey

...I've not tried any of the other Avon tyres available, but going by other reviews on here, I think I may have got the better model. I drive a MK4 Vauxhall Astra. As with one of the other reviewers of these tyres, I like to use the car for track events and meeting with different enthusiast clubs. The ZZ3's were on special offer at a local garage just as I needed a couple of new boots so I thought.... why not.. They look ok and going by the usual price i'm pretty sure they must be ok. So anywho, I had 2 fitted to the front of the car. It just happened that the day the tyres went on was very wet. Well what can I say. I've never had so much grip to play with. The grip offered by these in the wet was much better than eny tyres I had previously owned even in dry conditions. Now remove the wetness and they get even better. I could... Read review
