Pre-purchase inspection companies

[BGarside]

Due to my remote location I'm considering buying a car based on a third party inspection.

Does anyone know of a good marque specialist to use for inspection of older BMWs (at the vendor's premises)?

Car is in Herts area. it is a '92/'93 model.

TIA.

Old Colonel is just a one man band. Some nice stock but sometimes a little optimistically described (in my case, "immaculate and rust free" meant a couple of bumper scuffs and rust on two wheel arches).

And they / he doesn't have in-house mechanics.

Definitely worth getting an inspection done if you can't view it personally.

Thanks. This car is also apparently 'rust free'.

I get the impression he doesn't do any mechanical/prep. work on his cars but just sources low-mileage historied cars to sell on. I'll definitely need an inspection....
