The foundation of TML Cars is based on a genuine passion for vehicles and a commitment to providing customers with reliable, well-prepared cars. The business, owned and managed by Thomas Ladyman, is located at Bayford Motors near Wincanton in Somerset. Thomas's initial work involved cleaning and preparing vehicles, which developed into a successful valeting business that was established in 2006. Through consistent service and strong relationships with local dealers, vehicle sales became a growing part of the operation.
As market conditions changed, this led to a strategic shift, and in 2012 the business became TML Cars Ltd, focusing entirely on car sales while maintaining high preparation standards. We have a range of vehicles that cater to various types of drivers, including new drivers, environmentally aware buyers, and those looking for performance or versatility. Our services include extended warranty products, finance solutions authorized by the FCA, in-house servicing and valeting, and part exchange facilities.
Customers can also benefit from temporary insurance and local delivery services. Throughout every interaction, our goal is to provide clear guidance, professional support, and a relaxed buying experience built on trust, transparency, and long-term customer satisfaction.

Services
As a family business, we specialise in sourcing performance and specialist vehicles from a wide range of respected manufacturers. Our cars are presented within an indoor showroom and forecourt environment. Customers benefit from finance solutions, complimentary local station collection, and nationwide delivery. Each vehicle is inspected, HPI clear, warranted, MOT compliant, and prepared to a high standard.
We enable customers to release value from their vehicle through a direct sale or part exchange. Each valuation reflects current trade levels and is intended to remain valid following inspection. The process avoids administrative costs and sales pressure. Where applicable, existing finance can be settled, with fast electronic payment completing the transaction.
We ensure every vehicle is road tested and thoroughly inspected to confirm correct operation. Exterior and interior conditions are assessed, acknowledging normal wear consistent with age. Mechanical components, electronics, tyres, brakes and suspension are checked for proper performance. Each car is professionally valeted, supported by service records, HPI verification and an appropriate MOT. People

Fantastic service and aftercare - I purchased a VW ID.3 Tour in September '25 from Tom & I would recommend TML Cars to anyone. He even put the car inside for our viewing, as it was raining, and we were travelling from North Wales. He has been honest & trustworthy and he even sent me a new rear light unit to replace the one that had excess moisture in it. Thanks Tom.

Spoke with Tom at TML about a Golf R he had for sale. He was a bit reluctant to do a distance sale which I perfectly understand as I can see it being wide open to abuse by people wanting a nice car for 2 weeks then returning it. After speaking for some time he agreed and a deal was struck. I had the car collected and all went smoothly. Car is as described and I'm realistic it is a 9 year old used car. Tom was a pleasure to deal with, carried out all work as agreed that was requested prior to sale. Thank you Tom.

Last week I bought a vehicle from TML cars, but within a few days there was a problem with Alternator, 2019 vehicle, a one off random event that could not be foreseen. I informed Tom and the warranty company. The warranty company would only agree to pay a small percentage of the cost (annoying)! I informed Tom of this and without hesitation he agreed to foot the rest of the cost, a great gesture!.
If you see a car you want at TML cars, dont hesitate, go and see Tom and buy with complete confidence
Thank you TML cars.

Its is always a worry when you buy a used car.
Online I saw a nice looking BMW coupe at TML
I thought for a 2008 car it cant be that good, so I went to have a look and Wow what a nice example it turned out be. Tom who runs the place is very straight forward and honest the car was very keenly priced so the deal was done.
The car is absolutely fantastic I cant believe I own it. Thanks Tom!
