Description
All of our vehicles are rigorously inspected before being offered for sale: more than 70 inspection points are checked (mechanical, chassis, bodywork, interior and accessories) + a full road test carried out by our workshop manager. Each vehicle also benefits from a motor compression test and/ or a cold oil pressure check (depending on technical possibilities). Our vehicles are prepared in our workshop specialised in classic, sport and prestige automobiles.
