The process

Exactly what happens, step by step.

01

Send the details

Share your reg and a few details. No fees for sellers, no obligation, no account. That is all it takes to start.

02

Reviewed by a specialist

A specialist reviews the details personally: condition, history and provenance. Tell us now about outstanding finance, modifications and gaps in the history, rather than at inspection; honest detail makes for an accurate offer.

03

A direct offer

We aim to reply within 24 hours. If your car fits what we buy, a direct offer usually follows within 48 hours, worked out by hand.

04

Inspection, payment & collection

If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged wherever you are in the UK. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. Any finance is settled directly with your lender.

Collection

Collection and payment

What to expect once you accept a direct offer.

  • You keep driving your car until collection.
  • We call ahead before we collect.
  • You can join the test drive.
  • We handle the DVLA paperwork.
  • Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves.
  • The price holds if the vehicle is as described. Any change is explained first, and you can say no.

Every dealer who buys through us agrees to our dealer code of conduct.

How we value

How an offer is reached.

Every offer is worked out by hand by a specialist, never run through a generic pricing tool. On cars like these, a handful of things shape the figure far more than the model name alone.

Specification

The exact variant, factory options and build details.

Condition

Honest condition inside and out, mechanical and cosmetic: what is original, what has been restored, and anything that needs putting right.

Documented history

Service records, MOT history, ownership, and any marque certification (Ferrari Classiche, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and the like).

Provenance

Where the car has lived, who has cared for it, and the story the paperwork tells.

Comparable sales

What comparable cars have changed hands for, not what they were advertised at.

A leather document wallet, service book and key laid out on linen

Documents you'll need

What to have ready when a sale is agreed

Nothing at offer stage. These are needed once you accept an offer:

  • V5C logbook. If it is missing, we must review your ownership documents before confirming a purchase.
  • Every key, and any spare fobs
  • Service history and provenance, if you have it
  • Any documented history or restoration records
  • Outstanding finance settlement letter, if applicable
  • Photo ID matching the V5C (driving licence or passport)

FAQ

Common questions

How is a direct offer different from a listing site?+

No public listing unless you ask. A specialist reviews the car personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct offer. No strangers at your door.

When do I get paid?+

Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. You keep the car, keys and V5C until you have been paid. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.

Can the offer change when you collect the car?+

The price holds if the vehicle is as described. Any change is explained first, and you can say no. It changes only if the car differs from what you told us. The inspection confirms the car; we do not use it to chip an honest price.

What kind of cars do you buy?+

Prestige, performance, classic, collector, luxury and other high-value or specialist cars. Not sure yours fits? Ask anyway.

What should I have ready to sell a special car?+

Nothing at offer stage. Once you accept: the V5C logbook, every key and spare fob, the service history and provenance file, any restoration records, a finance settlement letter if there is finance, and photo ID matching the V5C.
