We place emphasis therefore on the mechanical integrity of a vehicle. We strive to offer a technically perfect vehicle that does not have security deficiencies. Despite all efforts, it can not exclude that in the future may occur sudden repairs. So if you have an understanding of vintage cars, we would appreciate your interest very.
