What clients say
A handful of recent assignments, told by the people who kept the cars. Names are held back; the cars and the outcomes are real.
While I was searching the internet for a usable future classic car, ChatGPT suggested I contact Davey & Daughters. Alex got back to me, collected all the information, and came back with a search criteria and, most importantly, valuable advice, which I listened to. Over the following weeks cars were shortlisted several times, only for Alex to find paperwork discrepancies or unconvincing provenance. Eventually he found an example with exactly the spec I wanted, and viewed and inspected it on site for me. On his recommendation I went ahead, and I am a very happy owner of a fine Jaguar XKR. No regrets whatsoever, and I have commissioned Alex to start looking for another car, much to my wife's exasperation. Thank you Alex. Let's just do it, again.
Marc Sheridan, France, August 2026A 997 Turbo, bought in England and delivered to me in the Emirates without a single unpleasant surprise. Alex inspected it, handled the money and the freight, and told me plainly which of the cars I was chasing to leave alone. The one he approved is the one I kept.
Mr Rupert Campbell-Scott, DubaiThe 760i I wanted was in Germany, which is exactly the sort of purchase that goes wrong. It didn't. Alex checked it over there, argued the price, imported and registered it, and the first time I had to think about any of it was when the keys arrived.
Client, BMW 760i, United KingdomI married a man who sources cars for a living, so naturally I wasn’t allowed to just buy a Golf from down the road. He found mine at auction in Japan, verified it, imported it and landed it under budget and in better order than anything here. The real compliment came a few weeks later, when he went back and quietly bought himself a second one.
The founder’s wife, imported from JapanI now send Alex anything with wheels before I do something rash. Twice he has talked me out of a car I had already fallen for, which has been worth more than the times he found me the right one.
Client, ongoingMost of these started with a two-sentence message about one car. Tell Alex about yours, and see whether it belongs on this page in a year.

A car you have found, a car you want found, or a collection that has outgrown a spreadsheet. Alex reads every message himself.
