How We Work
No Surprises
Buying a fifty-year-old American car should not be a leap of faith. Here is what happens before anything reaches this website.
01
Sourced
We buy from dry states and long-term owners, inspect in person, and walk away from more cars than we buy.
02
Documented
Marti Reports, PHS records, broadcast sheets and fender tags. If a car cannot prove what it claims, we say so plainly.
03
Sorted
Hardened valve seats, cooling upgrades, brakes and fuel systems checked. Cars leave here ready for British roads.
04
Registered
NOVA, customs, DVLA and historic-vehicle classification handled. You collect a car with a UK number plate on it.
