Your car is then placed in storage under a protective cover. A drip tray is placed underneath and a battery conditioner is installed. If you have chosen the optional Carcoon(1) this will be applied at this stage.

We are happy to arrange servicing and MOTS whilst your car is in our car. We can provide prices on request.
Preparation for collection
When you decide to pick up your car for a special occasion or when you fancy taking it for a drive underneath the blue skies in spring and summer we’ll ensure that your car is in shape for you to have an terrific driving experience. You will need to give us a minimum of 48 hours notice so we can provide basic checks and advise any additional requirements that may need attention.
When you are ready to collect your car for that special occasion, or when the first shoots of spring herald the arrival of blue skies and salt-free, dry roads, we ensure that your car is ready for an enjoyable first drive. We require you to provide us with 48 hours notice at which point we will conduct the basic check again and advise upon any requirements if necessary e.g. fluid top ups, tyres etc. or whether we believe there is a fault that needs attention.
After checking the drip tray and fluid levels for any unexpected surprises, the car is removed from the allocated storage bay and inspected. Cars that include storage option (b) and (c) above, will have a pre-collection drive on our premises to ensure the electrics and mechanical components of the car are working as the factory intended.
All cars are cleaned and ready prior to collection.
