Classic Car Pre-Purchase Inspections
Independent assessment before someone commits to buying a classic.
Buying a classic is an emotional decision, and that's exactly when an independent opinion matters most. We look at the car with fresh eyes and tell you plainly what we find.
Our inspection is independent — we have no interest in the sale. You receive a clear, written account of the car's condition so you can decide whether to buy, negotiate, or walk away.
What We Look At
- Bodywork and structure — sills, floors, chassis members, jacking points and previous repairs
- Engine running, oil pressure, leaks, smoke and general mechanical health
- Gearbox, clutch, differential and driveline
- Brakes, steering and suspension condition
- Electrical systems, lighting and instruments
- Originality, identification and paperwork consistency
- A road test and a written report with an honest summary

Every classic is different, so we quote once we know what the car needs. Any additional work found along the way is discussed with you before we proceed.
