Reliability And Safety

Have a look at our fleet's service history

Reliability:

**Regular maintenance**: Classic cars require more meticulous maintenance than modern cars. It is critical to maintaining reliability and preventing unexpected failures. This includes checking fluids, changing oil, replacing wear parts like belts and hoses, and paying attention to cooling and ignition systems.

**Parts**: Finding replacement parts for classic cars can be difficult and expensive. Many owners turn to specialists or look for parts in niche markets, trade fairs or enthusiast clubs.

**Storage**: Keeping your car in a controlled environment can help preserve its reliability, protecting it from rust and deterioration.

**Appropriate Use**: Classic cars are often not suitable for everyday use, so many owners only drive them occasionally or in favorable weather conditions to avoid undue stress on old components.

Safety:

**Modern Standards**: Classic cars were built to the safety standards of the time they were produced, which are generally lower than today's. This means they may lack safety features such as airbags, ABS or traction control.

**Restoration and Upgrading**: Some owners choose to upgrade the safety systems of their classic cars with more modern seat belts, improved braking systems, or even inserting airbags where possible.

**Careful driving**: Due to the limited safety measures, it is important that those who drive a classic car are particularly cautious, respectful of the vehicle's limitations and aware that the responsiveness and performance of the vehicle may be lower compared to those of modern cars.

**Insurance**: It is important to have an adequate insurance policy to cover any damage to persons or property resulting from the use of the classic car.

**Periodic inspections**: Classic cars in many countries must pass periodic checks to ensure that they maintain the minimum safety requirements for road use.

In conclusion, reliability and safety are crucial aspects of managing a classic car and require significant commitment from the owner to ensure that the car is both enjoyable and safe to drive.
