Notes
Further to the list provided ROE will also perform further checks and tests to ensure the reliability and safety of your classic car.
If your classic car is seldom used and is unlikely to reach these miles in a year, then ROE may recommend that you have servicing works completed on an annual basis.
If your classic has undergone sudden heavy use, for example a race or a grand touring excursion, then ROE also recommend that you visit them. That way they can conduct a full assessment report.
