Resent Classic Car Inspection at Gosford NSW,

20/01/2018

CLASSIC CAR INSPECTIONS

A classic or collector car, can be a rewarding and profitable investment.
Or it can be a nightmare and a money pit that can quickly ruin your bank account, destroy your marriage, or worse !

Not every seller is honest, after all, it's just a used car, so buyer beware !
And remember, everything can be made to look good in a photo.

With over 30 years experience, buying, selling and repairing classics,
we will thoroughly inspect the vehicle and make sure you know exactly what you're potentially investing in.
With prices for some vehicles hitting stratospheric heights, you really need a knowledgeable eye to look over a major investment.

All vehicles are researched before the inspection, for known problem areas and these are thoroughly investigated.

We will spend around 2 hours inspecting all aspects of the vehicle, finishing with a good 10 minute test drive (when possible)
We take around 50 photos and write a comprehensive report, leaving no stone unturned.
All finding can be discussed with the inspector over the phone.

In some cases, at an extra cost.
Data plates, number stampings & factory documents, can be scrutinised and compared with known legitimate examples to verify sellers claims.

Call us first, before you buy plane tickets and take time of work, to look at a car that may be badly misrepresented.

Appraisals and valuations for most 1950s to1980s American based vehicles is also available.
We have an extensive data base and over 30 years experience buying selling and repairing these vehicles.

Areas we check

Mechanical condition
The engine is checked for evidence of excessive oil consumption, unusual noises, misfiring, and fluid leaks.
Transmission, rear axle or transaxle is checked for fluid leaks, poor gear changes, slipping or shuddering clutch and weird noises etc.
Brakes and suspension is checked for worn components, fluid leaks and safe operation.
Cooling & Charging system is checked for condition and operation.
Wheels, tyres and exhaust is also inspected for obvious problems.

Body & Paint (one of the most expensive areas to rectify)
Evidence of poorly conducted body and paint repairs.
Evidence of rust, corrosion & body filler.
Panels and gaps are scrutinised for consistency and originality.
The paintwork is also thoroughly inspected for quality and depth.

Interior
The soft trim and carpet is thoroughly inspected for condition and operation.
Windows, glass and convertible etc. tops are also scrutinised for wear, operation & alignment.
Dashboard and instruments will get a thorough inspection as well.

Electrical (often overlooked in a restoration)
Thoroughly tested for condition and operation of all components.

Chrome, Glass and Stainless trim
All bright work is thoroughly inspected for damage, blemishes, corrosion an alignment.

Test Drive (when available)
We thoroughly test the cars steering, brakes, suspension & drive train for any issues, including, poor performance, handling and braking.
Having said that, we cant put it on a race track and some owners will not permit a test drive.
