In September at the Goodwood Revival I purchased a beautiful Bentley “Special.” The purchase was from a known dealer with an exhibit at the event. We agreed on additional work to be done by the dealer, and the price. We went through the car as thoroughly as possible without tools or a lift. I was unable to drive the car before returning to the US—although it started beautifully. Because I was unable to put the car through its paces, the sale was conditioned on the 70-year-old car successfully passing a MoT inspection. The dealer assured me they did that to every car before it shipped. This understanding was memorialized in the contract for sale. Last week the car arrived in the US. The custom work had been done to a good standard, but the dealer “forgot” to send the car through MoT. Now I’m concerned about its safety and condition. What reasonable remedies do I have to cure this “oversight” by the dealer?
