Private clients and family offices
Collector car sourcing and acquisition advisory
We help private collectors and family offices source hard-to-find cars, assess individual opportunities, and decide whether to proceed. We take on defined buyer-side assignments for clients in the UK and internationally.
What you can commission
- A private sourcing mandate
- Agree the model, original specification, delivery market, budget, and evidence threshold. We approach relevant contacts and screen opportunities against the brief.
- A pre-purchase review
- For a car already identified, we review the seller’s evidence, market comparables, and points that warrant investigation. A marque specialist can inspect the car against an agreed brief.
- Acquisition support
- Use the evidence to decide what to offer, what conditions to set, and when to proceed. We coordinate with your appointed advisers on the destination and transaction requirements.
After an initial conversation, we agree the scope, fee, deliverables, and any third-party costs before work begins. The model guides below explain the questions we would work through on a search or review.
