Our Services
FIA AND FIVA PAPERS
An area we are familiar with is organising the documentation and requirements your vehicle may need for both domestic and international events; for example, FIA Historic Technical Passports for racing or FIVA passports for historic rallies and concours events. Having also entered cars in Mille Miglia we can also organise the necessary inspections, liaise with the relevant authorities and assist in completing application forms.
CURATION OF COLLECTIONS
We can provide advice on building and maintaining a classic car collection to suit; there may be a particular marque or theme that excites. It is important to choose vehicles that are the best examples and we can assist with sourcing. A collection can then become more than just the sum of the contents. Through our partners we can also advise and provide on maintenance, restoration and logistic matters.
EXPERT WITNESS/LITIGATION
We also offer expert witness litigation services providing impartial specialist knowledge to assist in legal cases. We create formal independent reports based on specialised knowledge for use in arbitration, mediation or court. We can include when required expert reports to Civil Procedures Rules (part 35) and provide testimony in court.
ACCIDENT REPAIR
We can provide independent and unbiased assessment on damage to any classic, vintage or historic road or competition car. We provide methodology for repairs for both insurers and repairers. We can assess during and on conclusion of repairs to ensure they are completed correctly.
AUTHENTICATION OF VEHICLES
Originality is crucial for classic car owners and buyers, especially for rare and desirable examples. Using our expertise and specialist partner technology, we can identify which parts and components are most likely original or replacement components and how the vehicle may have evolved over time. We document our findings in confidential technical reports, which then go on to form an important part of the vehicle’s provenance.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND DOCUMENTATION
We can effectively project manage your car through any program of works. Having been involved in the restoration and conservation of some of the most worlds important vehicles, we know and understand the importance of proper project management. We advise on correct restoration/conservation practice thus keeping originality and provenance in the vehicle. Likewise, if your classic has been damaged, it is equally important to manage repairs in the same manner, again ensuring your vehicle is repaired in a way that keeps originality and provenance.
Part of the project management is ensuring that the correct paperwork is available before, during and on completion of the project, thus documenting all procedures and events to ensure that continuous history and provenance is maintained. This can include sourcing & referencing history on a vehicle to build on existing files.
LOGISTIC SERVICES
Through our carefully chosen partners we also offer specialised transportation services for classic, prestige and high-value vehicles with comprehensive insurance coverage of your vehicle during transit. We only use enclosed transport to ensure protection and security of your vehicle and can safely ship vehicles globally through our network of international specialists and experts.
VALUATION SERVICES

PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTIONS
Very few vehicles offered for sale are without fault. We travel both domestically and world-wide advising on condition, originality and any costs that may need addressing. We fully document findings of inspections in a detailed technical report supported with extensive images of the vehicle. We also offer assistance in negotiating a suitable deal based on the contents of the report.
