Sourcing — the route

We go and look for it.

Most of what we handle never appears on a listing. If the car you want is not on the book, tell us and we will go and look for it.

How a search runs.

I

You tell us

Takes ten minutes

Brand, model, year, specification, colour if it matters to you, and a budget. If you are open on some of it, say so — it widens what we can bring you.

II

We ask around

Usually two to six weeks

Private keepers, family collections, and the small number of houses we deal with. Most of the cars we find were never for sale until we asked.

III

We go and see it

In person, never by proxy

Every car is seen in person and photographed before it reaches you. You get what we found, including the parts of it we would rather not have found.

IV

The terms

Agreed in writing

We agree a price with you before anything is shown, and you decide who is told. Nothing about the car, or you, is published afterwards.

The brief

What to tell us.

Six lines is enough to begin. Anything you leave open, we will treat as open.
