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