I recently purchased a Pre-War car from St Andrews Autos and the service I received was exemplary. The car was exactly as described., in very good condition, and tastefully renovated for a car of that age. The vehicle transport was arranged by St Andrews, and happened seamlessly.
James.Thank you for the video, your communication, and especially your excellent in-depth knowledge in bringing the vehicle up to what is obviously your very high standards. As an Ex engineer, my concerns of buying 'unseen' were definitely unwarranted. A very professional car company,
