Business Profile
Bespokes of London is an independent, non-franchised dealer of used luxury, sports, and prestige vehicles based in Shepperton, Surrey, trading under the legal entity Durrant Automobiles Limited. The business positions itself as a family-run alternative to main dealers, describing its offer as hand-picked, well-specified stock at prices below larger car supermarkets. Alongside retail sales, it advertises part-exchange, home delivery, international vehicle export, and a vehicle sourcing service.
Current advertised stock categories on the dealer’s own site span Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Ssangyong, plus used Toyota vans — see the dealer’s live stock search for current availability, which will differ from this profile over time. Vehicles referenced in customer reviews additionally include Porsche and Ferrari models, suggesting a broader historic stock range than the current make-filter categories imply.
The dealership is listed across the major UK vehicle marketplaces — Autotrader, Cazoo, AA Cars, and Your Next Car — each showing live stock counts that vary independently of this profile and should not be treated as current.
Relationship Graph
Illustrative Vehicle Mentions
The following vehicles are referenced by name in customer reviews published on the dealer’s own website and third-party review platforms, as cars bought or sold through this dealer. They are not a verified transaction record and are marked here as historic/archival mentions rather than live stock, to avoid conflicting with real-time inventory feeds.
Reputation Signals
Aggregated third-party review scores for Bespokes of London are generally strong — Cylex records 85 reviews across four aggregated sources with an overwhelmingly positive summary, and Car Dealer Reviews lists an average of 4.8/5. Against that pattern, at least one detailed negative review on Autotrader alleges vehicle condition was misrepresented, and a separate complaint on Yelp alleges a refundable deposit was withheld after a vehicle viewing. London Auto Index has not independently verified either the positive volume or the specific complaint; both are presented here as documented public sentiment, not adjudicated fact.

Verification & Transparency Notes
What is verified: Legal registration (Durrant Automobiles Limited, no. 04720688), trading address, phone number, and general specialism are corroborated across Companies House and at least four independent marketplace and directory sources (Autotrader, AA Cars, Cazoo, Your Next Car).
What is not verified: The “trading since 1970” claim on the dealer’s own homepage predates the 2003 incorporation date by 33 years and may refer to an unincorporated predecessor business, a different Bespokes of London entity, or simply be inaccurate marketing copy — no independent record has been found either way. Vehicle mentions under “Illustrative Vehicle Mentions” are drawn from customer reviews, not a verified sales ledger.
Distinction from franchised entities: Unlike Clive Sutton, which holds a manufacturer franchise agreement with General Motors for Corvette, Bespokes of London holds no identified manufacturer franchise and should not be characterised as an authorised or franchised dealer for any marque referenced on this page.
