- We've found recently that there seems to be a lot of newcomers to the classic car movement, so we thought we'd put together our top tips for buying! 🚗
Here Paul talks us through his top 7 tips of what to look out for and what to avoid...
having hovered around the motor trade and classic cars for the past 60 yrs your advice is first class.
absolutley love paul my favourite matthewson
Great advice ... and best car programme on TV 👍
Good advice, and I think I have ignored everything in my time!
Great tips Paul. Totally agree with everything you mentioned. If I was in the market for a classic car or a modern future classic, Mathewsons would be my ultimate place to look at them and purchase. There’s nobody better in the world of second hand cars and trucks and motorcycles than them. It’s a genuine family run business that’s as straight as a die.
Thanks Paul good advice . I would just add on the research side - ALWAYS check the MOT history on the government web site . Easy to check if advisories have been sorted or ignored ,historical for etc . Serious owners will mot their vehicles even though there is often no legal requirement .
Meaningless. I've had advisories on my car 3 years running, this year same station same tester no mention, they disappeared 🤷
They were bogus in the first place, I didn't use a magic marker on the tyres 😂
I wonder if this is a common occurrence and why you still go there ! 😅
All valid points and really good advice, particularly the importance of viewing in person. I've seen a couple of cars I was interested in at an auction (not Matthessons) that looked great in the pictures and from the description sounded ideal, but on viewing revealed issues that required substantial spend to correct.
I did recently buy a bike from Matthewsons, and the experience from viewing to delivery was excellent. Thanks to Alan who was my telephone bidder.
Good advice thank you.
Honest straightforward advice, ignore it at your peril.
One thing i would love is if they could tell us if the vehicle has been converted to run on unleaded fuel, To me as a non-mechanic that would be so useful.
Some good advice given.
Love the vid - very informative, more please :)
Paul, the best there is.
Great comments, tips .
Fantastic advice Paul, great.
Excellent advice Paul well done.
Thanks Paul, good sound advice.
Paul is the man!
Very good advice. Thanks.
I shop in my db18 every week when dry .classics are for using not just showing.
Wish I had watched this clip last week. I did the complete opposite all 7 tips and got completely stung 😢 oh well live and learn
your not the only one !
Prior to purchasing, find out if spare parts ( inc body panels ) are readily available + how much to insure
i find it amazing where all those cars come from
Don't forget to include buyer's fees within your budget
Top to buy my mini Paul smith
another tip is dont buy the 1st one to come along,and after you have seen lots/loads you think i wish i bought the 1st one,which is now gone.
Check out the market - recent sales and trends going forward.
Top 8 get stuck in get your hands dirty
But don't run out of talent halfway through
Or Derek will have to pick it up and sell it to someone else who has talent
That should have been
" historical ROT " not
" historical FOR ! " 😏
Classic cars are the best cars you can buy
If you get bored with it sell it on again and if you buy them right
Look after them your get your money back
Cheep insurance zero tax on most
Much better than modern rubbish that depreciates
Morris Vs Jaguar, 🤣
