We buy classic and collector cars with fire damage, whether the fire affected the engine bay, interior, wiring or body panels.

| Damage type | Typical offer impact |
|---|---|
| Superficial interior heat / smoke | Lower impact if chassis and engine intact; cleaning and trim replacement likely |
| Engine bay wiring and component fire | Higher impact; may require major electrical and mechanical rebuild |
| Severe structural or chassis heat damage | Significant reduction in market value; often of interest to parts or restoration specialists |
