Used car sales of Islip
Our stunning showroom is located on the beautiful Drayton Estate in Northamptonshire - yes, the very estate where the Netflix film Saltburn was filmed.
Established over 24 years ago, we are a family business, with three generations of our family working together today. During that time, we have quietly and meticulously built three distinctive automotive brands: Ranger World, VENUUM, and Centurian.
When Paul and Rachel established Centurian, it was founded on a simple but powerful principle:
"Do as you would be done by. Treat others the way you would want to be treated."
That mantra remains the backbone of everything we do. It is why our 5-star reviews are never one-line testimonials, but thoughtful, detailed reflections that speak to the care, respect and warmth we show every client. With us, you are a client for life.
We don't have salespeople. When you buy from us, you are personally looked after by Paul, Rachel and David, guiding you through the entire journey - from first conversation to final handover, and well beyond.
Ranger World specialises in building true monster trucks. We hold extensive stock of hand-built, in-house Centurian Edition Rangers, available either as pre-built, ready-to-go vehicles or bespoke, built-to-order creations tailored precisely to your requirements.
VENUUM is our most uncompromising expression of bespoke craftsmanship, focusing on full carbon-fibre, coachbuilt styling for the world's most prestigious marques, including Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ferrari and Bentley. With VENUUM, the sky truly is the limit.
Centurian is where it all began - the sale of exceptional, desirable cars exactly as the factory intended. If we don't have the car you want in stock, we will source it for you. As the late, great Rick Parfitt famously sang
"Whatever you want, whatever you like."

Customer Reviews
I would HIGHLY recommend this dealership. When I read the 5 star reviews for Ranger World I was a bit sceptical, because surely no company could get that many 5 star reviews? But they really are as good as everyone says. They treated me like a princess from start to finish, and continue to do so after the sale has been concluded. They could not do enough for me, their service far exceeds any other dealership I've been to, and I had as much fun buying my car as I have driving it. No pushy sales techniques, just warmth, honesty and integrity from start to finish. 10/10 for these guys.Antonia D
Fantastic service from start to finish. Both Chris and Dave were so helpful throughout and nothing was too much trouble. It was fantastic to feel so valued, and then on the day I collected the truck, well it looked amazing. Thank you to all involved.Paul Gunther

We had an amazing experience at Centurian Automotive.Shiv Gosai
Paul, Dave and Greg was a pleasure to deal with.
Very highly recommendable.
We will definitely be back!
There are places that sell cars that once you have driven away you feel no association with, and there are places that sell cars that you actually make you feel you have been considered, listened too and encouraged to not spend as much as you can, but more as much as you are comfortable with on what you want, if Paul has not got what you want, you know if he gets it, it will be up to the mark.Dave Gray
Good People, Good Cars, Good Job !
What can I say great after sales nice people would buy again I had a couple of issues fix no sweat even came and got it 60 miles away nice one chaps. Believe the hype they are better than average.Dave Whiting

Recently bought a mustang gt (Peter) from centurian and dealt with Dave. No pushy sales, was shown where all the mustangs were and he left us to it. Very friendly and decent energy from the rest of the team also. Thank you!Gemma Kemp
I can't recommend Centurian Automotive enough. The process of buying a car from them is like no other and they really go the extra mile for their customers, along with offering good quality advice. Will definitely be back!Tom Gill
Second car from Centurion now. Both cars are fantastic. Service is brilliant. Highly recommend Centurian, not even comparable to any other used car dealerships. Wouldn't want to go anywhere elseDaniel Rogers

Over the last few years we have bought 5 cars from Paul and his team at Centurian Automotive. a Mini Convertible, 2 Range Rovers, a Porsche and a C63AMG. They are a brilliant Company to deal with and we would highly recommend them to anyone.HomecareMedia
The fact we keep going back says it all really.

We purchased our car from Gregg.Tom Bickerton
Right from the off Gregg could not do enough for us taxing and assigning our plates for us.
On arrival at Kettering train station a car was waiting to take us to Centurian.
Wow what a place Gregg and David were there to showcase our car.
Top blokes,top service and top products we can't praise these guys enough.
Tom & Mandy from Tamworth.
We visited Centurian Automotive to test drive a Golf GTI they have for sale. The team there are professional while being laid back and were very helpful.Andy Smith
They have a Liberty Walk Lambo that they started up for my son, a car nut, which made his day.
They have an interesting selection of high-end luxury cars for sale.
Brought a Audi q8 from Gregg and the team I can honestly say the welcoming and service is completely unrivalled.Axium Fitness
Incredible service from start to finish.
I couldn’t recommend them enough and will be buying another car from them soon!
Oh my godness. The plethora of - really nice - cars that you can see here is amazing. We came here to have a nose on a couple of cars without even calling before and I have to say that the way they treated us was fantastic. Very professional, very patient and very helpful owners. A test drive offer was always on the table. They also let us on our own for a while so we had the opportunity to really talk to each other without the vendor being around. Shame I didn´t find my perfect match here but I would definitely come back.Javi RodrÃguez
Recently purchased a car from Centurian Automotive. The whole service from start to finish was extremely professional and I would highly recommend anyone to use them when searching for a new car. Thank you Paul, Dave and the team for your fantastic service!Gareth Jones
Just purchased a car from Paul and Dave. They couldn't have been more friendly, caring and courteous. The personal touch means everything and these guys have it in abundance. We'll thoroughly recommend them to everyone! 5 star guys!Ali Ahmed
I was looking for a specific car for a while, however as with any 2nd hand car, you need a garage you can trust.Mark Ward
I called Centurion and Greg answered the phone he answered all my questions, eventually I put down a deposit and flew to the nearest airport (East Midlands) and Greg picked me up, drove me to the garage where I inspected the car, I must say it’s an impressive setup, we did all the paperwork and I drove home to Glasgow.
Greg was friendly and professional and a real asset the Centurion - Flawless service - this should be the blueprint for all independent garages.
I bought a car for my dad from Ireland and Paul and Dave couldn`t of been more helpful with the whole process. The car was in excellent condition and exactly as they described it. I would highly recommend buying your next high spec car from Paul or getting him to source it for you, you won`t be disappointed and truly feel you`ve bought a genuine car when you drive out of their unique forecourt.Jonathan Daly
I visited the team and received an extremely warm welcome. After an extended test drive I fell in love with the XK I was looking at. I didn’t pick the car up for a couple of weeks but when I collected her It was obvious a lot of time had been spent to ensure the car was tip top. Brilliant showroom and friendly knowledgeable staff. Thank you.martin crawley
I do not normally bother with reviews but I thought I owed it to Centurian Automotive for the fabulous customer service I have received from them. I have purchased 2 vehicles from Centurian and have found them to be reliable and honest car dealers, I never thought that I would use the words 'honest' and 'car dealer' in the same sentence but Paul Harding goes above and beyond to make sure he and his staff give first class customer service every time. Last month I went to see a car he had advertised on his website and got chatting to him about a different car I'd been looking for that he didn't have on his stock list, instead of talking me into buying the car I'd gone to see ( which to be fair most car dealers would have done) he told me to give him a week to see if he could find me the BMW I'd told him about before committing myself to the one sitting on his forecourt, within days he'd sourced a car to the exact specifications I had asked for, needless to say I am now the owner of my dream car. Thank you all at Centurian for all you have done for me. Thank you for not treating me like a cash cow and actually taking the time to find me a car that I love to drive, I would not hesitate to recommend Centurian Automotive to my friends or anybody that wants to buy a car knowing they will get good service and great aftercare, Oh yeah and get treated to exceptionally good coffee for free. Just Marvellous.S Martin
Great team and fantastic service. Certainly made buying a vehicle from them a hassle-free experience. I have already recommended them to family and friends. All the best with the new showroom and will certainly be a returning customer!Aravinda Page
What a wonderful experience, these guys go over and above the norm. to please their customers! To be able to Test Drive a vehicle from the comfort of your own home is exceptional. Rachael and Paul certainly have things down to a fine art with all the little personal touches that for a female customer made my experience wonderful and so, so easy!! (coffee lovely too). Thank you guys, very best wishes for your future. Sue Brennan xxSue Brennan
1st class service from beginning to end. Every element of the transaction was clear, honest & transparent. Plus I had a part exchange! I put a lot of pressure on for them to turn the car round in 48 hour and they pulled it off completing their 114 point check. I will be ringing James when I need a new car in the future! Thank you again! Brenton - NorwichBrenton Williams
The Centurian team run a suburb establishment. From moment one there is a friendly family feel with exceptional coffee. Their open and honest approach is grounded in having exceptional cars that sell themselves. Any potential niggles or issues are highlighted and explained with in house services and MOT to leave you with no additional tasks other than choosing your dream car. The team are car enthusiasts and it shows from the cornucopia of car memorabilia on display to the casual automobile focused conversations. Centurian has a clear commitment to having the best cars and the best car buying experience going, and they achieve both with effortless aplomb. If you are looking for a brilliant car and better buying experience I implore you to choose Centurian.Thomas McCumiskey
I ve just bought my second car from Paul, yet again a fantastic service! All the team make you feel welcome, it's not like a typical car dealership, it almost feels like you're visiting their home. If you're looking for your next car give them a go, you won't regret it!Jamie Hanson
I have purchased several cars for both myself and my wife from Paul and his team at Centurian over the past few years. Each and every time I have received levels of service and professionalism that I have not found elsewhere when looking for a vehicle. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough, when they didn't have quite what I wanted in stock, they found it for me quickly and efficiently. Most importantly they found it without bothering me with the details until everything was ready to go. The single problem I've had with a failing air suspension compressor was replaced without question or argument and was dealt with efficiently and courteously. I will buy from here in the future exclusively.Andrew Martin
A pleasant experience. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Everything felt so easy.. from choosing a suitable finance package for the new car to part exchange of my old one. No hassle. The team looks after your needs with excellent after care.Amit Sinha
Just bought my new car from Centurian and I can safely say, great customer service! They put my mind at ease at very step of the way. Also, Dave's a superstar!Sameer Ansari
I definitely recommended Centurian. :)
These guys are the best of the best.jamie anderson
I’ve bought many cars over the years and can honestly say that the service and dedication I received from Centurian is amazing.
They really pulled out all the stops for me to get me into my new car. Can’t thank them enough.
Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. I will be buying my cars from these guys for many years to come
We purchased a ford focus Rs from Dave and the lads, we could not have been so well looked after and the service was second to none. I would recommend any purchase from centurian automotive. Absolutely outstanding service. Thanks Deb and Chris.Debbie Price
Paul and Greg were fantastic in sourcing my car. They kept me updated weekly on progress, I couldn't be happier with the superb levels of service.Isi
These guys are professional, friendly, decent and honest. Highly recommended.
I have waited a week in case the wheels fell off but of course they didn't. Now i don't want to get to gooey but these guys are awesome. The service I got was second to none. If other sales based companies did only half of what these guys did then they would be killing it. The test drive at home was awesome considering I had a bad knee - the fair price for the part ex was an easy conversation - The pick up was a great experience, the clean and ceramic polish was a great touch and the talk through was superb and the motor itself is fantastic. The coffee was alright i suppose :) - to be fair even that was better than most coffee shops .... All in all in my humble opinion these guys have it nailed and I would recommend anyone to buy from them. They only sell quality and ensure you get a great car for a fair price and a great service to boot - I know where i will be getting my next car from. A very happy satisfied customer :)Iago Montgomery-Jarvis
Excellent service. I ended up not buying the car, as I took too long to make up my mind, my fault not theirs :) I dealt with Greg, who was very happy to help with all my many enquiries, I live far away so most of the selling is essentially performed via the web or phone. Took plenty of time giving me all the service information and any other things I required. Sent a few videos, again with everything I needed. Even called to advice other people were interested in the car and essentially gave me first refusal, I hadn't made up my mind though and said if someone is ready to go for it, then I can't hold them up. Which duly happened. I would happily recommend this dealer to anyone.Daz Wilson
Bought a Jaguar XKR from Centurian - best car purchase I have ever made. Greg, Paul and all the team very knowledgeable and gave first class service, couldn't have been more helpful and considerate. Car was delivered in absolute pristine condition. Kept to their word, 2 VERY minor issues sorted out quickly and without question or quibble - excellent customer service both pre and post purchase, have no hesitation in recommending them very highly indeed. 10/10Clive Austen
This weekend I picked up my new car and I could not be more pleased with the whole buying process!! The customer service I received was second to none and all of the personal touches really enhanced the whole experience. They were so helpful without adding any pressure during the sale. When I collected the car it was in immaculate condition and it was clear a lot of time and effort had been put into preparing the car for me, I couldn't have asked for anything more! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a new car to check out these guys first - you definitely won't be disappointed! Thanks guys :)Lauren Kirby
I don't do reviews but I feel compelled to note the exceptional customer service I have enjoyed from Dave, and Paul. My car developed a fault three months after purchase. It was attended to promptly by Dave and his service team. It's always telling how you are treated when something goes wrong. This is a good company that looks beyond the sale to create loyal customers. I am converted and will be back.Terry Pruce
As a rule of thumb - I don’t write reviews. However, on this occasion I felt I must. Paul and his team are just fantastic. Everything is professional from start to finish. Their attention to detail is unreal. Their customer service is epic and most importantly they are all decent nice people with a stack of knowledge. I felt looked after from the moment I called them, to the moment I got home with my new motor. They even rushed to get the car ready in 24 hours of seeing it and at this point it had just come in to them. If you like a car they’re selling it’s a no-brainer. 10/10.Matt Cank
Had a absolutely brilliant experience getting my new car, Dave dealt with me and I've honestly never had a better service! I saw a couple negative reviews but decided to go and make up my own mind, the bad reviews couldn't be further from the truth! Even when the finance company tried to decline me Dave went far and beyond to find out why and get it sorted untill I got accepted. Paul didn't deal with me but he's also a great guy and made a overall decision on something which really helped me to drive home in my new car. This has made my Christmas and the rest of my year and will definitely be coming back. Jonathan AkosaJaya Kosa
Top class service from Paul and Dave throughout my enquiries and purchase, these guys genuinely love their cars and you can tell by the standard of vehicle they produce! I was able to customise further my own preferences of colour detail and added extras I required. Nothing was too much trouble and I am over the moon with my new Ranger! Thanks guys, great work!Luke Tustain
