Your Private Car Buying Agent
in the UK

Think of it like a property buyer's agent — but for cars. I work exclusively for you, the buyer. I search the global market, verify provenance and condition, negotiate the price, and manage the entire acquisition. You get one person to deal with, transparent fees, and access to vehicles and intelligence you simply wouldn't find on your own.

Generally, any car from the mid-1980s to early 2000s that has moved beyond being simply "used" and into collectible territory. These are cars with character, mechanical simplicity, and a driving experience that modern vehicles can't replicate. At 40 years old they become DVLA tax-exempt, but most are appreciating in value well before that milestone. Think Golf GTIs, Porsche 996s, E46 M3s, Japanese imports — cars that people grew up wanting and are now able to buy.

Absolutely — it's one of my core strengths. I monitor over 40 marketplaces across 22 countries, including specialist platforms in Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, and the US. Japanese domestic market cars are a particular sweet spot: lower mileage, fastidious maintenance records, and no salt damage. I handle the full import process — sourcing, inspection, shipping, customs, DVLA registration, and UK compliance.

I offer three service tiers — Find, Acquire, and Concierge — with transparent, published fees based on the vehicle's value. There are no hidden costs. For clients who prefer it, I also offer a retainer model: a fixed upfront fee plus a small success-based percentage. This aligns my incentives with yours — I'm motivated to find the best car at the best price, not the most expensive one. Full pricing is on this page.

It depends entirely on what you're looking for and how specific your criteria are. A well-defined search for a popular model might surface strong candidates within days. A very specific brief — say, a particular colour, engine, mileage, and provenance combination — might take weeks. I'd rather find the right car than the fast one. You'll get regular updates throughout, and I'll never pressure you into a purchase.

That's perfectly fine — and more common than you'd think. Many clients come to me with a budget and a feeling rather than a specific model. We'll have a conversation about what you're drawn to, how you'll use the car, and what matters most to you. I'll then put together a shortlist of options with market context, appreciation data, and my honest recommendation. There's no obligation at any stage.

I'd never position a car as a pure financial investment — there's maintenance, insurance, and storage to consider. But the data is compelling: 80s and 90s cars have appreciated 230% since 2014, and supply is only going one way. Unlike a new car that loses 40% in three years, a well-chosen modern classic can hold or grow in value while you actually enjoy driving it. The key is buying the right car, in the right condition, at the right price — which is exactly what I help with.

Not at all. My Find service starts from £1,500 and covers vehicles valued up to £15,000. There are fantastic modern classics available at every price point — from a well-sorted MX-5 at £5k to a Mercedes SLK under £10k. The intelligence, negotiation, and due diligence I bring is just as valuable on a £8,000 car as it is on a £80,000 one. Often more so, because the lower end of the market is where the hidden gems — and the hidden problems — live.
