Prospective Owners Handbook

The Prospective Owner's Handbook explains in penetrating and comprehensive detail the process of interviewing the seller and inspecting the Land-Rover effectively, component-by-component and system-by-system. (We also include an eight page Pre-purchase Information Worksheet, and crash course "mini-guide" (our Pre-Purchase Survey) to the most critical inspection operations). Also included in the kit is a list of many of the crushing flaws which we have experienced with cut-rate British-based "restorations" supplied by our competitors. It fortifies the reader with a thoroughgoing and powerful tool to appraise vintage Land-Rovers intelligently and effectively, to avoid bringing home a project with unknown or negative value.
