Hello and welcomeMy name is Philip Phedonos
I’m known for both selling quality TVRs and racing them. I am a true TVR enthusiast and I also specialise in Lotus,porsche and Mercedes sl55 amg and many other models,if you don’t see a model that is listed please try me as I have expertise in many other models. With my extensive knowledge and experience I’m able to offer a thorough vehicle inspection for these specialist cars. I also offer a car sourcing service to ensure you find the best example.
I have over twenty years’ experience in TVRs, Porsche and Lotus, PI have practically restored TVRs from the chassis upwards, plus modified many examples and have great knowledge on all models of Lotus and pre 96 Porsches from the 911 to the 928.
I have over twenty years’ experience in TVRs, Porsche and Lotus
I was part of the TVRCC speed championship and have experienced many track days including several trips to the notorious Nurburgring and Circuit de Spa Francorchamps and raced many tracks around the UK so – not only can I advise you on the car – but also the track days you may wish to do.
I can provide a pre-purchase inspection on a car that you have sourced yourself and can often do inspections at short notice, even on weekends if need be.
So don’t get caught out by buying a TVR with a rotten chassis or a Lotus with a head gasket issue or a Porsche with an excessive oil leak, contact me to ensure you find a great example. Thanks for looking at my website and I hope that I can be of service to you.
Inspection service
Finding you the perfect car
If you have found a car yourself through the private ads or through a dealer and you want a professional unbiased opinion on the condition of the car, then I can provide an inspection-only service for you. I will travel to almost any location of your choice and I charge according to the distance from my home in North London.
For distances up to 100 miles from my location in North London I charge £300
For distances over 100 miles, I will quote you a figure based upon location. Please get in touch either by email or telephone for a quote for your desired location.
I carry out a full independent inspection, valuation, test drive and produce a written report giving you my unbiased opinion of the car you are looking to buy. With every car that I inspect or find for a customer I carry out a full HPI Check, ensuring the car has no bad history (stolen or written off) or any outstanding finance.
My inspection usually takes around 1.5 hours and involves lifting the vehicle via a high lift trolley jack onto axle stands, so that the vehicle is high enough for me to fully access and examine the underside. I carry out a visual inspection of the vehicle without stripping anything down. The main areas that I look at are:
Chassis – looking for extensive corrosion and accident damage evidence.
Engine, gearbox and drive train for major oil leaks and abnormalities.
Steering, suspension and brakes for abnormalities.
Bodywork for any accident damage or sub-standard repairs.
All mechanical and electrical operations.
I also look at all the vehicle’s paperwork, checking service history and making a valued assessment of the cars authenticity and desirability to be purchased.
My inspection charge is comparable to that of the AA or RAC and the significant advantage is that I have far more experience of inspecting TVRs, Porsches and Lotuses, having owned, raced, maintained, found and inspected hundreds over the past 20 years.
Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that the vehicle will be free of any mechanical problems that may develop immediately following my inspection due to the fact that it is purely visual and does not involve the stripping down of any components to access internal wear or the corrosion levels of the internal areas of the chassis steelwork.
