“We see ourselves as a baby Rolls-Royce and Bentley main dealer,” says Nigel Sandell, who for the past 25 years has run N Sandell, now one of only three Bentley and Rolls-Royce specialists in the Greater London area.
Originally established to care for Silver Shadows, T1/T2s and the later Silver Spirit/Mulsanne lines, the business has expanded in recent years following Bentley’s own growth spurt.
Continental models, with their complex W12 engines and all-wheel-drive transmissions, now share workshop space with the more traditional, Crewe-built cars from the pre-Volkswagen Group and BMW era.
N Sandell’s five-ramp workshop is equipped to main-dealer standards, and caters for Rolls-Royce and Bentley models old and new
“We offer a good, old-fashioned service, where the word ‘no’ is not an option,” says Nigel.
“We pride ourselves in giving good value and complete transparency.”
The firm’s current 1500-strong customer database is punctuated by some high-profile names, including The Grand Tour presenter James May, for whom Nigel located a Bentley T2 that he now maintains.
N Sandell also counts international leaders among its clients, looking after cars for both Ghanaian and Moroccan royalty.
