Rally Preparation Services Ltd

I have sent my D-type (kit car) overseas to RPS after only briefly speaking to Simon on the phone, took a risk because I did not know the company. Boy am I happy I sent it to them. I am very impressed by the knowledge base, Ben and Brooke have taken on the project and this is what I got. Very detailed information and pictures every week of the progress which made it much easier making decisions from overseas. Very very fast progress even through the Covid-19 delays from suppliers ect. Instead of shying away from a kit car where all the parts used were not clearly marked, they took it as a mystery and were pushed to crack the code. As for the quality of work they went through everything the car needs and were very clear on the costs from the beginning with a 6 page report with costing. The car is already almost completed and has been transformed to exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend this company for your motoring needs :)) Thank you once again Simon, Ben and Brooke for

‘I asked Rally Preparation Services to sell my very solid classic rally car. Simon and the team improved the car's presentation, marketed it carefully and were excellent ambassadors for the car once we had a genuine buyer. I was kept informed but not bothered with news of non-serious approaches. It sold at the right price and I feel RPS' service to me was very good value.’ Richard P.

I approached RPS to help me purchase and prepare a car for a Peking to Paris Rally. Having done some research and talking to some enthusiasts, as I am a newbie, I decided to use their services.

They were very good at explaining what was needed, the modifications they knew from experience that would be essential and took the time to show different examples of their work to illustrate the issues. They then helped inspect a car I purchased and arranged for the paperwork so that the car could be worked on in their shop.
They were also kind enough to agree to allow my son to intern with them as a way to prepare ourselves.

Sadly, we did not get a place on the P2P and, as a full service outfit, they helped me sell our car.

Overall a very favourable experience at a family owned business. Highly recommended.

Was actively looking to purchase an affordable Historic Rally Car and search on Google found this ex Opel Team Sweden Kadett GTE from 1978. The instant impression of the High Quality Photographs and detail within the advert prompted me to respond within email and I very quickly received a positive response to view.
This was complicated by Covid restrictions but a compliant solution was quickly agreed and I attempted to Insure the car for an unaccompanied test drive. My own Insurers and Specialist Insurers were unable to provide comprehensive cover on a LHD Historic Rally Car but Simon at RPS was undeterred and arranged his own Company Insurers and the bonus was Nil cost.
Viewing the car was all appropriately Socially distanced and Simon then set off in his Golf GTI to give me a suitable Back Roads Test Drive.
All my reasonable questions were professionally and timeously attended to and an acceptable deal was done.
I’m awaiting delivery and will have no hesitation in endorsing, recommending and indeed using there On Event Support for a future crack at HERO Events both in the UK and Abroad.

I ordered two sets of TRS race harness for my Westfield trackday car. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable of there products. The belts arrived on time and have made a heap of difference to the appearance and safety of the car. If you need any advice or wanting new belts for your car, definitely give these guys a call.

Poor communication and unfulfilled promises is the theme of this review. Previous fabrication work carried out to an acceptable standard, although it's worth mentioning the work was carried out by an independent contractor . As a potential returning customer, I was disappointed with how difficult it was to get my car booked in for further metal work. Several messages left with the secretary with promises of a call back, with nothing. Eventually got hold of Simon who promised to handle it, again nothing heard. Emails sent unanswered, even after assurances from Simon himself. Nobody should have to work this hard to spend thousands of pounds. If this is the attitude to returning customers who live locally, then I could not recommend using this service, especially if you're not local.

I've used Pete at Cotswold Overland for servicing my Subaru Impreza since I bought it 6 years ago. He's always professional and flexible to my needs and understands when I throw last minute changes into the job requests.
Keep up the good work...
