Our family history with the motor industry goes back as far as 1950 when my grandfather laid down the foundations of a business that would span over 5 decades with 3 generations of family members following the tradition. When first established we were called "Ace motors" based in London.

Over the next twenty years my grandfather's business supplied the various models of the MG brand together with the more practical family saloon cars such as the Triumph Mayflower the Ford Pilot and MG Magnet.

In 1976 my father took over the business. By now we had digressed more into catering for the general car market , supplying brands such as Renault, Fiat and Rover. We continued our trading in this market sector throughout the 1980's ,The 1990's saw us trading heavily within the Fiat brand as well as supplying certain Prestige marks such as Jaguar and Rolls Royce.

The late 1990's saw us relocate to Devon with the main objective being "getting back to our roots"expanding the business by establishing a dedicated centre supplying the nation's ever increasing hunger for competitively priced quality sports cars . Riviera Sports Cars was born. Now a long way from the days of my grandfather and the MGA or Austin Healy. The most popular modern day sports cars no longer just brandish the British MG logo on their panel work, but now come from places like Japan with the sensational Mazda MX5 or Germany with with iconic Porsche 911.

So there we are, 50 years and three generations of family motor sales history .
