We buy classic and collector cars with fire damage, whether the fire affected the engine bay, interior, wiring or body panels. Many owners of older or rare vehicles prefer selling to specialist buyers because repairs can be complex, expensive and may not restore original value.

| 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 |
