The Report

The CSR is a 175- point, ten page report covering mechanical, bodywork, running gear, electrical and aesthetic areas. It has been designed specifically to cover a wide range of classic, vintage and veteran cars of all ages. It will be carried out by an expert, chosen by you from our database according to his marque experience and location, who will not only comment on condition but also on originality if appropriate.   

The Associates

We have recruited specialists from all over the UK to do the checks, and we call them our Associates. Every one must meet high standards of workmanship and customer service, and between them they have hundreds of years worth of experience. We have experts in pretty much every make of car you care to mention: from ash-framed vintage Bentley to retro-sport Fords. Some will travel to inspect cars, but all are experts in their own right.    

The Team

John is the MD, and an Alfa fanatic (his present car is a ’70 1750 Spider). Mark, the website designer has a MGB, Hugo (security seals) has an Austin Healey, and Tim (sales) a ragtop Morris Minor. Professional advice is supplied by David, who has over thirty years in the business and is an expert restorer. This year CSR are also sponsoring classic racer Chris Barns in his MG Midget at various sprints, races, hillclimbs and rallies.

 Buying or Selling a Classic Car? CSR can help.

Our detailed check is performed by a network of established classic restoration businesses across the UK, and is standardised so you know what to expect. If you're buying, it will give you a great source of information about your prospective purchase, especially if you're buying at a distance. If you're selling, show your car is good quality with a CSR, which could really help your sale. And, for a short time only, you can advertise your car for sale free on this site for 3 months.

And for a great introductory offer of only £99.95, the CSR could be a small price to pay for finding out more about the car of your dreams. - Click here to buy one.


Don't just take our word for it- Customer Reviews

"The product was spot on and way ahead of the pack on price... I would recommend the service to anyone I know seeking reassurance regarding a potential purchase." G.H. Bucks, July 2010

"The comprehensive report has given me the ‘comfort’ and confidence to proceed with the purchase which from my point of view represents a serious outlay (£25,000). I am lucky that in my instance your inspector could not find any noteworthy faults to report which is exactly the confirmation I was looking for."
Mr A Phillips, CSR Customer, May 2010

"Thank you very much for the service / report offered by Classic Status Report. It's been very speedy (much appreciated in this case) and very comprehensive (report was excellent). Overall the service has allowed me to make an offer with a lot of confidence and was far more thorough than anything I could have done myself. Purchasing at such a distance is usually fraught with difficulties and having such a comprehensive report meant that I will not waste money or time making journeys that disappoint. Good luck with the new venture and I would have no hesitation recommending your service to others or using it again myself."

S.M, CSR Customer, May 2010
