This week a customer has entrusted us with his Ferrari 296 GTB, direct from purchase at Maranello Sales, for the installation of a Category 2 Immobiliser prior to preparation for winter storage, as this is now required by insurance companies on cars of this value.
We are able to bring in various tried and trusted vehicle specialists - known and used by us for many years - to perform tasks such as installation of alarms, trackers, immobilisers, servicing of air conditioning systems, paintwork and paint scratch repairs, wheel refurbishment; all depending on your specific requirements.
Over the last few days we have worked on two electric vehicles, a Polestar 2 needing body repairs and a Kia EV needing new tyres. Whilst we are not equipped to deal with the electric motors and batteries, we are able deal with bodywork, braking systems and other ancillaries.
Work has continued on the Porsche 928 SE Sport, specifically with the cooling system electrics. Progress has been made on mechanical repairs to a Porsche 997 Turbo and we continue to help customers with classic vehicle inspections recommending on preventive maintenance before winter storage.
Howard also recommends that all classic vehicles should have an MOT, as proof that the vehicle was roadworthy; in case of any incidents – otherwise insurance companies may try to wriggle out of their liability if the car has not proven to be roadworthy at the time of the incident.
