Simple, Personal, and All About You
Buying a classic car should feel exciting—not like admin. At The Forge Prees, we’ve made the whole process easy, transparent, and refreshingly personal. Whether you’re just starting to explore or you’ve already spotted the one, here’s how we make it simple from first click to keys in hand.
1. Start Your Journey Online
Kick things off by browsing our stock right here on the website. We keep things crystal clear with:
Detailed descriptions
High-quality images
Walkaround videos that show you exactly what you’re getting
All of our classics are fully owned by us, independently inspected, and priced accurately using live market data. What you see is what you get—no commissions, no hidden fees.
See something you like? Just drop us an email or give us a call. We're happy to talk through any questions or arrange a viewing.
2. Can’t Visit Us? No Problem
If you’re not local or can’t make the trip, we’ve got you covered. We’ll create a bespoke video walkaround just for you—covering every detail and answering any specific requests. It's the next best thing to seeing the car in person.
3. Book a Personal Appointment
Ready to see a car up close? We'll book you in for a private appointment, giving you unhurried, one-on-one time to explore everything in detail:
Inspect the car at your own pace
Dive into the history file and documents
Enjoy a proper test drive
Arrange an independent inspection if you'd like
We’re here to build trust and make sure you feel completely confident and excited.
4. Reserve Your Classic
Love what you see? Let’s hold it for you. A £250 deposit takes the car off sale and cancels any other viewings. We’ll also send you a clear, no-nonsense sales invoice confirming everything we’ve agreed.
5. Sit Back—We’ll Take It From Here
Once your final balance is paid, we sort everything else out so you don’t have to:
Payment confirmation
DVLA ownership transfer – we’ll do this online and send you confirmation. Your new V5C will arrive in the post (usually within 5–10 days)
Road Tax status update – even if the car is tax exempt, we’ll update the DVLA system and send you proof
Warranty included – every UK-sold car comes with a 3-month Autoguard warranty. We’ll provide the booklet and confirmation
6. Optional Extras? Just Say the Word
Want to go the extra mile? We’re happy to help:
Upgrade your warranty to 12 months (including UK roadside assist) for just £350
Custom indoor or outdoor car cover – made to order
Battery trickle charger – supplied and installed
Nationwide delivery – we work with a trusted local transporter offering great UK-wide rates
Just let us know what you need, and we’ll arrange it. Easy.
7. Wrapping Things Up
Once your sale is complete, we’ll remove all online adverts for the car and send you a final handover confirmation. And that’s it—you’re ready to enjoy your new classic with total peace of mind.
Buying from The Forge is Easy
Apart from making payment, we handle everything else. No jargon. No stress. Just honest, helpful service from people who genuinely love classic cars.
