01
Your brief
We begin with a written brief: the exact marque, model, specification, condition standard and budget. A defined brief protects you from compromise purchases and focuses the search.
Off-market sourcing
The right car is rarely for sale.
Marque Heritage locates the classic motor cars that never reach the open market—through private collections, marque specialists and long-term owners across Europe—then verifies, negotiates and delivers them to your door.
From brief to delivery
How a commissioned search works
02
The discreet search
Many of the finest motor cars never reach the public market. We approach long-term owners, marque specialists and private collections across Europe and present only candidates that genuinely fit the brief.
03
Provenance verification
Before any offer, we establish the car's identity: chassis and engine numbers against factory records where available, registration history, ownership chain and the file of invoices and period documents.
04
Independent inspection
Structure, mechanical condition and originality are examined on the lift, cold, with a written condition report and photographic record. You see the car as it is—not only as presented.
05
Negotiation & paperwork
We negotiate on your behalf, prepare the purchase agreement in your language and coordinate payment, title transfer and the export or registration position for your country.
06
Delivery to your door
Enclosed transport with condition reports at collection and delivery, insurance in transit and live tracking from our workshop in Bavaria to your address anywhere in Europe.
Provenance before polish
We verify the car before we ever discuss the price.
Every sourced car is documented before an offer is made: identity numbers matched to factory records where available, a continuous ownership timeline, and a written condition report from an independent inspection. If the file does not stand up, the car does not reach you.
What you can rely on
A concierge, not a broker.
Traditional brokers pass along whatever is listed. We act only for the buyer: one written brief, one accountable contact, and a documented process from the first enquiry to the car arriving at your address—anywhere in Europe.
