Hi, will be looking at a 308 GTB - it's at specialist dealer - but better safe than sorry - does anyone know someone who can do a decent pre - purchase inspection - help greatly appreciated? Mark

where abouts in the coutry are you/car

be VERY careful mate, a friend of mine has recently had a full "power warranty" check on a 360 at a MAIN DEALER prior to buying a car that had been laid up for 12 months and they failed to spot some fundamental , and consequently expensive problems with the car. I've yet to hear of a dealer who has not blotted their copy book at some time or another. As Mr 5Restaurant said, where are you in the country???

Ta Guys, yes, based in Malvern, went to see a 77 gtb today that drove beautifully but was a little tatty inside - nothing that couldnt be fixed with tlc, surprised me with how comfortable it was, has been know by Bob Haughton and been in their care for the past 3 years - originally a hong kong car, was on the pistonheads classified up till recently - a mass of paperwork with the car - made me think what i really want is a dino... but i will take a trip over to Hollingsworth and see steve - (just sold my Noble M12 so need next fix... suffering from c.a.r.s - compulsive automotive replacement syndrome!)

Will be in London next weekend - have any of you had dealings with Verdi? They have a dino, and a few decent looking 308/328 - I'll go in if the word is good..

[Jonny5]

Verdi's are well respected. Stock is usally SOR (they are predominantly a Service outfit) - so call Karl and arrange for any cars to be in.
