FAQ
Questions we're asked most
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask it directly — the phone gets answered by someone who can actually answer.
- What cars do you buy?
- Principally Porsche GT and Turbo cars, McLaren (600LT to 765LT and beyond), interesting Ferrari and Aston Martin, and exceptional or rare-spec enthusiast cars case by case. See what we're currently looking for on the wanted page — though that list isn't the limit of what we'll consider.
- Do you buy modified cars?
- Yes, where the work is good and properly documented — Manthey, JCR, Akrapovič, Surface Transforms, quality suspension and engine work are all things we understand. We're honest either way: a well-executed, well-documented build can add real value, and a car that's been altered without the paperwork to back it up is a harder conversation. We'll tell you which one yours is.
- Will you beat a dealer offer?
- Sometimes, not always. Send us any existing trade or dealer bid and we'll look at the car properly. On the right car — usually one with genuine specification or provenance a generic appraisal has missed — we can improve on it. We won't promise to beat every quote, and we'll say plainly when we can't.
- Do you buy cars with finance outstanding?
- Often, yes — outstanding finance is common and rarely a dealbreaker. Tell us the settlement figure as part of your enquiry and we'll factor it into a straightforward position.
- Do you buy privately advertised cars?
- Yes. Whether your car is already listed, already has an offer against it, or hasn't been advertised anywhere, the same process applies: tell us about it before you commit to anything else.
- How quickly can you complete?
- It depends on the car. A well-documented example with clear history can move quickly once terms are agreed; anything less straightforward takes the time proper due diligence requires. These are considered purchases on six-figure cars — we won't rush the checks to hit a date.
- Do you inspect cars before buying?
- Every one, before any purchase completes. Specification, history and condition are verified in person — that's true whether we're buying from you or sourcing a car for a client.
- Do you buy throughout the UK?
- Yes, nationwide. Most of the conversation happens by phone or WhatsApp before any inspection is arranged, wherever the car is.
- Do you buy cars outside your listed marques?
- Sometimes. The wanted page reflects where we're deepest, not where we stop — if it's an exceptional or rare-spec enthusiast car, tell us about it and we'll give you an honest view.
- Can you sell my car on my behalf?
- In some cases, yes — a discreet private sale to our network, rather than us buying it outright, suits certain cars better. We'll say which route makes more sense for yours during the initial conversation.
- Can you still source a car for me?
- Yes — bespoke sourcing is a separate, ongoing service alongside buying and selling. You brief us on a specific car, we find it through dealer relationships and private channels, verify it, and negotiate on your behalf. See the full process.
- How does the sourcing fee work?
- A fixed fee, agreed per mandate before any search begins, and disclosed to you up front — it doesn't move with the price of the car, so we have no incentive to see you pay more for it. The initial conversation costs nothing.
- Are sourcing searches discreet?
- Yes. Searches are run without naming the client, and your identity reaches a seller only when you decide it should.
- Can you source internationally?
- Yes, where the car justifies it — Europe, Japan and elsewhere. We handle import duty and VAT treatment, registration and transport, and we'll tell you honestly when the premium of a UK car is worth paying instead.
