Default Pre purchase inspection Sussex advice

Hi

I’m looking to buy my first sapphire cosworth looking forward to getting involved, it’s a long held dream to buy and own one of these cars since boyhood and hopefully could become a reality soon, I need some advice on pre purchase inspections in and around Worthing Sussex, are there any recommendations for garages or mobile outfits who offer this service?

I’m not able to get there anytime soon, I’ve bought a few other cars in the past using Ppe reports (and walked away from a couple also), although I love cars I’m not mechanically minded and would prefer to mitigate the risk by having a specialist take a look, it’s always a risk buying any used car, I understand this

Maybe worth contacting Pete Ireland, he knows Cosworths inside out, he may be able to view the car for you.
