The 504 has had its final checks and tuning before its test run. These final tweaks are to ensure that the car is running smoothly however it’s not uncommon for test drives to uncover more smaller issues. Fingers crossed it passes with flying colours!

It’s very difficult at times to perfect every single blemish on metalwork that is nearly 50 years. But we try our best… As someone humorously described to us only last week “it’s 50 years old, when in the morning I look into my mirror it’s obvious that I have seen better times!” Our good friends […]
