Description
All our vehicles undergo rigorous checks before being put up for sale: over 70 checkpoints are assessed (mechanics, chassis, bodywork, interior and accessories), plus a full road test carried out by our workshop manager. Each vehicle also undergoes an engine compression test and/ or a cold oil pressure check (where technically feasible). Our vehicles are prepared in our workshop specialising in classic, sports and luxury cars.
