The buying brief
Considered on the car's own terms.
MotorSignet buys prestige, performance, classic and collector cars, including suitable left-hand-drive, imported and unregistered examples. Steering position and registration status are read as attributes of the car, alongside model, condition, history, provenance and originality.
MotorSignet buys prestige, performance, classic and collector cars, and a suitable example is considered whichever side the steering wheel sits on. A suitable left-hand-drive Porsche GT car, European-registered Ferrari special series or imported McLaren is assessed on the individual car's model, specification, condition, documentation, history, provenance and originality.
Registration status changes what a seller can provide; the car itself is still assessed on its merits. A UK-registered left-hand-drive car goes through the ordinary registration lookup. A car registered overseas, or one imported and not yet registered here, uses the manual-details route with its overseas registration, VIN or chassis number, together with the country of registration and where the car is now.
Inspection, secure payment and collection are arranged wherever practical. For a car outside the UK, tell us where it is and a specialist will say honestly what is involved before anything is agreed.

Three registration states
Which record is yours?
Registration status changes what you can provide; the car itself is still assessed on its merits. Each record says what identifier works and what happens next.
02
Registered overseas
Use the manual-details route with the overseas registration or the VIN, and tell us the country of registration and where the car is now.
- Identifier
- Overseas registration, VIN or chassis number
03
Imported, or not yet registered
Use the manual-details route with the VIN or chassis number shown on the car's documentation. Purchase or export paperwork and anything that evidences ownership helps the review.
- Identifier
- VIN or chassis number
Whichever record applies, a specialist reviews the details personally, and a direct purchase offer may follow if the car fits the buying brief.

Questions
Before you begin.
º1Can I sell a left-hand-drive car in the UK to MotorSignet?
Yes. MotorSignet considers suitable left-hand-drive, imported and unregistered prestige, performance, classic and collector cars on their individual merits: model, condition, history, provenance and originality.
º2Do you consider European-registered cars?
Yes, case by case. Cars registered in another European country can be considered; include the country of registration, the registration or VIN, service history and where the car is now.
º3Can I submit an imported or unregistered prestige car?
Yes. Imported cars and cars not yet UK-registered can be considered, subject to provenance, paperwork and checks. Use the manual-details route and include the chassis (VIN) number.
º4What can I use if the car has no UK registration?
An overseas registration, VIN or chassis number. The manual-details route accepts any of them, and gives the specialist a reference for the checks and records that may be available.
º5What documents and photographs are helpful?
The chassis (VIN) number, purchase or export paperwork and anything that evidences ownership help most, with service history and clear photographs of the exterior, interior and any known marks. Gaps do not prevent an initial review.
º6Do you consider left-hand-drive Porsche, Ferrari or other specialist marques?
Yes. Suitable left-hand-drive examples from MotorSignet's existing buying categories can be considered, including selected Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG and BMW M models.
º7Does the car need to be in the UK?
No. A car outside the UK can be considered case by case. Tell us its current location and registration status, and a specialist will explain what is practical before anything is agreed.
º8Does steering position affect whether MotorSignet will assess the car?
Steering position alone does not prevent an initial review. The individual car, its documentation, condition, history, provenance and location are considered together.
º9Is there any obligation after I submit my car?
No. A submission and personal review do not commit you to accepting an offer.
º10What happens if the car has outstanding finance?
Tell us when you submit the car. If a purchase is agreed, the settlement is handled with the lender as part of completion.
º11Can you consider an imported or overseas-registered car?
Yes, case by case. Imported, left-hand-drive and overseas-registered cars can be considered. Use the manual-details route and include the VIN, registration and current location where available.
º12Will the car be advertised publicly?
No. MotorSignet purchases suitable cars directly and reviews every enquiry personally from first contact.
