Invictus Motors journey started with a passion for Porsches. It has now evolved into a sustainable business model run by a team of people who all share a big passion for Porsche of all shapes and sizes, as well as other brands too, providing excellent service to customers that would like to make one of their largest investments a seamless and stress-free experience. The Invictus Motors story begins with Basheer Zaheer, purchasing a Porsche 911 996 for himself in the early 2010s. The car needed some engine work so he took it to a Porsche Specialist, who ended up taking him for a ride, charging him for parts they didn’t even touch and not doing an adequate job! Realising he had been messed around, he then went to another specialist, where history repeated itself. After finally finding a specialist that weren’t squeezing him for money, he decided that he didn’t want anyone else to share the same experience, so invested all of his savings, and teamed up with his brother, Ali Zaheer, to create Invictus Motors. To ensure that we hold ourselves to the highest standard, we are working in partnership with AMS Porsche. AMS Porsche pride themselves on delivering the highest levels of Porsche Servicing, ranging from the classic 356, through all 911 variants (Porsche 930, 964, 993, 996, 997, and 991), to the Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, Panamera and even the most recent all-electric Taycan. Their dedicated team of technicians are also experts in Porsche Engine Rebuilds, and fast becoming the leading centre for Engine Rebuilds in the South of the UK. We offer an outstanding selection of hand-picked cars for sale. Each car is carefully prepared to the highest standard. Our stock profile is built on knowledge, passion, expertise and attention to detail. We offer a wide range of services including an iron-clad WarrantyWise warranty, 5 Day Drive-Away Insurance, Servicing, MOT, Valeting and Detailing, and all forms of work your car may need, whether it just be a new drive-belt, or a full engine rebuild. Having these services in-house enables us to prepare the cars to the highest possible standard. Our office and servicing facilities are located in Hatfield Heath, which is just outside Bishop Stortford, Hertfordshire, near London Stansted Airport.

I had a great experience dealing with invictus. I Would highly recommend using them to others. The service was fast and efficient.
Don’t believe a word they say
Don’t believe a word they say! Don’t believe the positive reviews. They sell dangerous vehicles with zero accountability! Very nice and charming to hook you in. When it all starts to go wrong, very difficult to get hold of. I would trust this garage or the people that operate it.

Been a great experience with Invictus…
Been a great experience with Invictus from the minute I came. I was treated really respectfully and honestly which gave me great confidence. I had a list of things to address that I wanted them to go through at the workshop and they went through them all and did them and actually did more than I asked.
I will be definitely be using Invictus again and will recommend them to friends even if they are a very long way away.

Dropped off my Porsche 911 to Invictus with an issue to the power steering hose which they kindly diagnosed
Engine failure McLaren 570S - avoid if you value your CRA!
McLaren 570S – catastrophic engine failure, fronted sale, CRA dispute & rejection (full timeline)
In this case, the failure occurred around four months into ownership. In hindsight, I was fortunate the issue arose when it did — had the car been placed into long-term storage or failed later, it could easily have gone beyond the six-month period where Consumer Rights Act (CRA) protections are clearer and the burden of proof sits with the supplying dealer.
The key difference this time was that the car was purchased on regulated finance, which made the CRA position far more structured and ultimately far more clear-cut once evidence was provided.
I’m sharing the full timeline below in case it helps others.
Background
Vehicle: McLaren 570S
Vehicle was advertised, discussed, and handled day-to-day by Invictus Motors
Supplying dealer named on the finance agreement: Mini World - fronted for invictus
Independent McLaren specialist used throughout
At the time of purchase, it was not clearly explained that the vehicle was effectively being supplied by a different dealer to the one I was dealing with operationally. This later became highly relevant once problems arose.
Pre-sale inspection & warranty discussions
Prior to purchase, the vehicle was taken to a McLaren specialist for a pre-sale inspection. This inspection was:
Arranged by the dealer side (not by me)
Paid for by them
No written inspection report was ever provided to me although it was given the ok
Following this, I was advised the car was fine to proceed with.
I was also offered a third-party warranty, which I was told would cover future issues. In order to proceed, I was required to pay £2,500 for this warranty. (Rennworks warranty)
At the same time, I was presented with paperwork implying that by proceeding in this way I would not be relying on statutory consumer rights. This later became a key point of dispute.
During a later conversation, Invictus stated that their position on responsibility and rights was influenced by their own beliefs, including reference to Islamic principles, and that under those principles they did not consider themselves responsible in the same way. I am simply reporting what was said to me. Statutory consumer rights under UK law apply regardless of personal or religious belief.
Catastrophic failure shortly after purchase
Shortly after purchase, the vehicle suffered a sudden and catastrophic engine failure. (4 months)
Invictus told me to go through the warranty!
An independent McLaren specialist inspected the vehicle and produced:
A written technical report
Video evidence
Confirmation of internal oil shaft failure
Confirmation that the failure was not wear and tear, not misuse, and not service-related
The report confirmed:
The defect was latent
It would not be detectable during a normal pre-sale inspection
Repair costs were estimated at £20,000–£30,000 minimum
Dealer response
The supplying dealer’s position was that:
They did not accept liability under the Consumer Rights Act
The defect could not have been detected at the point of sale
Repair was refused on the basis that the cost was “disproportionate”
After this, communication from the supplying dealer largely ceased, despite repeated formal requests for engagement.
Finance company involvement
Because the vehicle was purchased on regulated finance, the matter was escalated to the finance provider under the Consumer Rights Act and Section 75.
Key points:
The finance company repeatedly requested engagement and evidence from the supplying dealer
The dealer failed to respond within required timeframes
The independent specialist report was accepted as credible
I was confirmed not to be liable for storage, recovery, or diagnostic costs
Final thoughts / warning to others
I’m sharing this experience to inform others, not to speculate or exaggerate. All of the above is supported by written correspondence and technical reports.
However, based on my personal experience, I would strongly advise avoiding Invictus Motors. In my opinion, the way responsibility, consumer rights, and accountability were handled raised serious concerns. Being encouraged to pay £2,500 for a warranty while statutory rights were downplayed, and then having responsibility deflected when a major fault occurred
Avoid at all costs if you value your consumer rights!! Funny the fronted company is now being dissolved
If a fault occurs in the first 6 months it’s deemed to be present at purchase and dealership have one chance to rectify - they ignored everything!

Excellent service highly recommended
Excellent service highly recommended. Bought my first Porsche from Invictus and great people to deal with.
Absolutely do NOT recommend purchasing…
Absolutely do NOT recommend purchasing anything from Invictus Motors. Bought a Porsche Boxster from them which was listed as being in perfect health, and was surprised to see that the clutch slipped immediately after purchase, and there was an engine issue. The car was also on cut springs which were extremely loosely installed after Basheer of Invictus Motors claimed it was on racing springs. The car was in a dangerous condition and they happily sold it to a 21 year old. I won in court regarding this in October as they refused to take the car back. They still have not paid the judgement and cite 'financial difficulty'. The staff are rude and will ignore you, and personally in my case made racist comments to my ethnicity. Basheer will appear personable and welcoming in person to entice you into purchasing their stock, but as soon as any issue arises will lose his temper and become immediately unprofessional. If a Porsche Boxster was sold which such issues I hesitate to imagine what their more expensive cars may have covered up. Cannot recommend any less terrible company and staff.

Couldn’t be better
Couldn’t be better, contacted about the Porsche Cayman 981 S. Went to view and test drive it a month later, it was exactly what I wanted and described well.
I was sold car
I was sold car, tried to reject due to multiple faults and the car not being fit for purpose (sale of goods act). Sent multiple messages, emails, recorded letters. Advice from citizens advice and now going legal. Spend £59k on a car and received the worst after care. Warranty doesn’t cover the faults or the brand of car… do not buy from this company. Absolute robbers.
AVOID
AVOID, read negative reviews.
Spent over £21500 on a car from them, turned up with cracked tyres, fault codes on dash I was assured would clear, wrong parts fitted by their own mechanics and the list goes on....
Took the car to main dealer and oil leaking everywhere including on DPF so regen would have caused a fire.
So far spent £7000 on this car trying to get it right. Unresponsive once things go wrong but quick on the phone when you're buying. Not interested trying to get the car right, offered hush money so I didn't write a bad review. Year has passed now so I'm having my say. Also avoid the warranty company they upsell to you, also useless.
Update, this is definitely the Invictus Motors stated, I have all emails, WhatsApp messages to prove what has been said by them, how many times you ignored me, the final ' settlement offer' in exchange for no online review.
In the year I've owned the car you delivered to me it's been on the road for half of that.

What a great experience…
I can honestly say the best experience of buying a car ever.
I bought a 911 Turbo from Basheer a true gentleman and could not do enough to help, all the team are friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
I will definitely be buying my next car from them!
Today unexpectedly I completed on…
Today unexpectedly I completed on buying my dream Mercedes AMG GTS, I genuinely could not have asked for more. Well kitted out, well presented, finance sorted and part exchanged my Mercedes E Class.
I strongly advise anyone considering…
I strongly advise anyone considering this dealership to stay well away. In all my years buying cars, I’ve never encountered someone as sarcastic, arrogant, and condescending as Basheer. From the moment I spoke with him, his attitude was dismissive and unprofessional. It seemed that because I have a Yorkshire accent and share a similar ethnic background, he felt he could speak down to me — which is completely unacceptable. If this is how they treat customers, I’d seriously question how they run the rest of their business. There are plenty of dealerships that understand the importance of respect and good customer service — this one clearly doesn’t.
Very helpful and straightforward
Very helpful and straightforward, good interaction all round, thought myself a gorgeous Land Rover Defender 110.
