THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS

Pre-order purchasing on average will take between 2-3 months, however there is no guarantee on this time frame unless stated by both parties in writing, due to many parts/vehicles becoming increasingly hard to source.

All vehicles on pre-order are brought to RCC’s premises in a pre-registration state (i.e. before MOT) for the customer to view, and RCC will help to point out any problems or defects in need of repair. The customer is under no obligation to use RCC for any repairs to the vehicle, but RCC will be happy to estimate the cost of any repairs that the customer would like to contract to us. (Note that this situation is exactly the same for vehicles sourced within the UK, with or without a current MOT.) Any deviation from this standard procedure would have to be agreed in writing between RCC and the customer.

PLEASE NOTE!! With any ‘classic’ vehicle it is inevitable that it will have varying degrees of ‘wear and tear’ due to its age, even top class vehicles are not immune. We advise anyone considering the purchase of any classic vehicle not to be under any illusions of 100% trouble free motoring. The potential classic owner should have a reasonable ability to use a spanner, or be in a position to be able to pay someone who can. Old cars are old cars, no matter what make or model. This also relates to used parts and any used vehicle that we sell, wherever it’s come from. We hope that this reality check does not put you off but we think that people should understand the ins and outs of classic motoring from the outset!

Should you wish to go ahead with purchasing by pre-order, please take a look at our pre-order procedure leaflet. If you have any questions please call one of our sales staff at RCC who will be pleased to help you.

Pre-Order Procedure information.

1. Any customer who is serious about making a pre-order purchase is to write a letter of order clarifying:
   
   
   • Vehicle
   • Model
   • Year
   • LHD or RHD
   • The specific condition they would like the vehicle to be in (including body/paint/mechanics/interior etc. All these points must be addressed, anything not specified will be subsequently considered to be unimportant to the customer.)
   • Budget (stating the maximum amount they would like to spend, or a general price range – minimum to maximum.)
     
     
2. When making order, the customer should organize payment of £1000.00 (one thousand pounds sterling) as a deposit.
   
   
3. It must be stated on the order letter if there is to be any intermediate payment, or if the total balance is to be payed on collection of the vehicle.
   
   
4. It must be stated on the order letter what is important and what is unimportant to the customer regarding the condition of the vehicle to be purchased.
   
   
5. RCC will then in return reply in writing clarifying the terms of the order, plus receipt of deposit.
   
   
6. Any points differing on the written order compared to the original verbal order will be pointed out within the reply from RCC to make a clear record of the contract before RCC goes ahead with the pre-order purchase.
