As the cars I specialise in are between 10 and 20 years old and often with a mileage that is in excess of 100,000 it is inevitable that this is reflected to a degree in the cars' external appearance - e.g. patches of bubbling paint, stone chips, scuffs, shabby alloy wheels and on the interior with dry leather and dirty carpets. All of these are fairly minor cosmetic issues however which I can rectify with a little time and money and can transform quite a tired looking car into a pristine example.

What cannot be reversed is a lack of service history or a huge number of former keepers on the logbook. I strive to offer cars with provenance - a stamped up service record by official main agents and independent specialists and a sensible number of keepers on the logbook, if a car has been maintained properly throughout its life and has had high quality replacement parts fitted as and when needed, then it follows that the car will continue to provide a reliable and rewarding service to the new keeper.

If the new keeper ensures that this standard of maintenance is perpetuated then it is highly likely that not only will the value of his/her investment be maintained but may actually appreciate as pristine examples become harder to come by and demand increases.
