Description
All our vehicles are rigorously inspected before sale: more than 70 inspection points are checked (mechanical, chassis, bodywork, interior and accessories) + a full road test carried out by our workshop foreman. Each vehicle also undergoes an engine compression test and/ or a cold oil pressure check (depending on technical possibilities). Our vehicles are prepared in our workshop specialized in classic, sports and prestige cars.
