A private dealing room for the cars the world doesn't get to see.
Marque Heritage is an online marketplace concierge headquartered in Germany, brokering pre-war classics and the most desirable post-war sports cars across mainland Europe.

Everything a serious buyer asks before lifting the phone.
Access, inspections & the showroom question
Marque Heritage operates strictly as an online marketplace concierge rather than a traditional, high-traffic public showroom. To guarantee absolute anonymity and security for our prominent private collectors, all vehicles remain securely stored in their private estates until sale. Because in-person viewings are not possible, we provide complete transparency via high-definition online documentation, and protect your investment entirely with our complimentary 7-day vehicle trial and return policy.
Because the vehicles are hosted within secured, private collection facilities belonging to owners who require strict anonymity, we cannot permit third-party onsite inspections. To completely offset this, Marque Heritage takes on 100% of the risk: we deliver the vehicle directly to your home, allowing you to test, inspect, and evaluate it in your own environment for a full week.
Every vehicle curated by Marque Heritage undergoes a rigorous vetting process before being listed. We provide comprehensive, high-resolution photography of the exterior, interior, undercarriage, and mechanical components, alongside full historical documentation. Furthermore, our binding 7-day trial period acts as your physical inspection — if the vehicle does not perfectly match its description, we collect it and issue a full refund.
Marque Heritage is headquartered online at marque-heritage.com, managing logistics, brokerage, and white-glove delivery across Europe from our German base. By operating without physical retail showrooms, we eliminate traditional dealership overhead, allowing us to invest heavily in meticulous vehicle sourcing, secure transport, and our signature risk-free return guarantee for our buyers.
The vehicle belongs to a private collector who has commissioned Marque Heritage to manage the sale exclusively. One of the core reasons high-profile collectors choose our concierge is our absolute guarantee of privacy. Therefore, all identities remain completely anonymous, and Marque Heritage acts as the sole contractual and logistical intermediary to ensure a seamless transaction for both parties.
The 7-day home trial & refund process
Once our white-glove transport team delivers the vehicle to your doorstep, your 7-day trial begins. You have a full week to drive the vehicle, have it inspected by your own trusted marque specialist, and ensure it perfectly aligns with your expectations. It is the ultimate, pressure-free way to buy a classic car.
If you choose not to keep the vehicle within the 7-day trial, simply notify your dedicated concierge via email. We will immediately schedule our enclosed transport team to pick up the vehicle from your home at no cost to you. Once the vehicle is verified to be in the same condition as delivered, a full 100% refund is initiated back to your account within 48 business hours.
No. Marque Heritage operates on absolute transparency. If a vehicle is returned within the 7-day window, you receive a full, 100% refund of the purchase price. There are no restocking fees, administrative penalties, or return shipping costs.
To ensure you can truly experience the car while preserving its collector value, we include a reasonable trial allowance of 150 kilometres. This provides ample opportunity for routine road testing, specialist evaluation, and pleasure driving to confirm your purchase decision.
Upon delivery, operational custody of the vehicle transfers to you, meaning it must be covered under your comprehensive classic car insurance policy for the duration of the week. To qualify for a full refund, the vehicle must be returned to our transport team in the exact same condition in which it arrived at your home.
Payments, escrow & European invoicing
Sign the short purchase agreement and we hold the car off-market for you for ten business days while contracts and logistics are finalised. There is no separate deposit — the agreement itself secures your priority on the file.
We accept SEPA and Swift bank wire transfers in EUR, CHF and GBP. All funds are received into Marque Heritage's segregated client account and only released to the seller once the purchase agreement is countersigned and delivery is initiated.
Yes. Every car ships with a fully compliant European invoice, a notarised bill of sale, the original registration documents (Fahrzeugbrief, carte grise, libretto, etc.) and — where requested — a notary deed of transfer. Margin-scheme (§25a) or standard VAT invoicing is matched to your country of residence.
The price you see listed on marque-heritage.com is the complete acquisition price for the vehicle as represented. Our brokerage commissions are settled directly with the selling party, ensuring absolute clarity and no unexpected surcharges on your final invoice.
Delivery, logistics & European shipping
Every vehicle we broker is transported exclusively via specialised, fully enclosed professional car carriers. This ensures the car is completely protected from weather, road debris, and prying eyes from the moment it leaves its private storage until it arrives safely at your designated address.
We provide white-glove enclosed delivery services across mainland Europe. Delivery costs are calculated transparently based on your specific geographic location and are detailed upfront in your purchase proposal. All shipments are fully insured at maximum market value during transit.
Once paperwork is finalised and funds are cleared, our logistics team typically prepares and dispatches the enclosed carrier within 5 to 7 business days. The exact transit time depends on your location, but your concierge will provide you with a live tracking link and coordinate a precise delivery window.
Yes. The contract signatory or a legally authorised representative must be present at the delivery address to inspect the vehicle upon arrival, sign the transport manifest, and officially accept the keys to begin your 7-day trial period.
Documentation, provenance & asset integrity
Naturally. Marque Heritage ensures that all available historical provenance — including the original registration documents (Fahrzeugschein/Zulassungsbescheinigung), historical certificates, restoration invoices, and service booklets — are catalogued and safely delivered directly to you inside the vehicle.
Due to the nature of private collections, some vehicles may currently have an expired inspection status if they have been kept as static displays. The exact current status of the roadworthiness certificate is explicitly stated in each car's description, and all original documentation is provided so you can easily manage local registration.
Marque Heritage provides a complete European sales contract and hands over all necessary international export/import documentation (such as the EU Certificate of Conformity if available and deregistration papers). This allows your local registration agent to seamlessly register the vehicle in your home country.
Authenticity is paramount to our curation. Wherever a vehicle is designated as 'Matching Numbers' or 'Highly Original', its engine, chassis, and gearbox codes have been rigorously verified against factory archive records. Complete documentation of these numbers is available upon request.
Yes, we offer an exclusive Off-Market Sourcing service. Utilising our deep network of private collectors, family estates, and discreet automotive archives across Europe, we can track down specific marques and configurations that never hit the public market. Please share your target specifications with your concierge.
The purpose of our 7-day trial is to give you total peace of mind. If your mechanic identifies a critical pre-existing defect or a mechanical issue that was not disclosed in our presentation, you can simply exercise your right to return the car for a full 100% refund. We stand completely behind the integrity of our curated selection.
