Our work

Every automobile calls for a transaction of its own.

Acquire

Identifying the right example, wherever it may be. Establishing its provenance, assessing its condition and placing its value. Leading the search and the negotiation, then coordinating everyone involved until the car is handed over.

Sell

Defining a strategy suited to each automobile. Building its file, choosing between a private approach and a targeted presentation, and handling discussions with buyers through to completion.

Advise

Studying an automobile, preparing an acquisition or guiding the evolution of a collection. Each engagement has a clearly defined scope and a single point of contact, from the first conversation to its conclusion.

Our approach

Every engagement begins with a written scope.

The purpose of the engagement, the fees and the level of confidentiality are agreed before any work begins.

Every acquisition rests on a study of the automobile, carried out with specialists in the marque or the period whenever the car calls for it.
