Notes:
Sometimes vehicles are prepared for stock or are in as new condition (new/old stock) in which case we only quote one price.  We can MoT some smaller cars but not unfortunately the larger vehicles and we do not register vehicles, we do however provide paperwork to allow buyers to register with the DVLA.  New or unused vehicles like Range Rovers generally need the buyer to arrange an IVA.
* Preperation is not the same as refurbishment, we do not dismantle vehicles and undertake nut and bolt type ‘restorations’
