The car took years to find.
Then it goes on a truck driven by somebody you have never met.
A collection is assembled slowly. A car is located, authenticated, negotiated, and paid for over months, sometimes years, and what arrives is not really a vehicle — it is a specific example, with a specific history, in a specific condition that took someone a great deal of trouble to reach. Replacement is not a concept that applies.
We treat the vehicle as an object in our custody rather than freight in our trailer. It is secured over its wheels outside the trailer and drawn in by rail, so nothing loads at an angle that scrapes and no door is opened between the trailer walls. Its condition is captured automatically at collection and again at delivery, and that record is yours.
What this work involves
The record outlives the move
Multi-camera capture runs at both ends and is timestamped. You receive the complete record, and we hold a copy indefinitely — which matters years later, when the car sells and its condition history is part of what is being sold.
Sealed for the whole route
The trailer is enclosed and insulated, so lacquer, brightwork and older rubber never meet sun, rain, salt or road spray between doors. We do not run active temperature control and we will not pretend otherwise.
Nothing touches the chassis
Securement is over the wheels on trolleys. There is no metal-to-metal contact with the chassis, no strap over a control arm, and no jack point taking load it was not designed to take.
This is work we do for:
- Single-marque collectors and multi-car garages
- Buyers taking delivery after an acquisition
- Owners sending cars to and from restoration or service
- Concours entrants who need the car to arrive as it left the shop
- Estates and trusts consolidating a collection
The car goes back exactly as it came.
How a commission runs, end to end, is set out in The Standard. The dates we plan around are on the calendar.
