Finding & Inspecting

We locate European classics, verify originality, and provide detailed inspections so you know exactly what you’re buying.

Why Collectors & Dealers Work With Us:

  • Based in Italy, at the heart of Europe’s classic car market
  • Years of experience with inspections & restorations
  • Transparent process with photo & video updates
  • Trusted by U.S. clients for reliable shipping
  • Full-service: one partner from start to finish

Some of our customers come to us with a specific vehicle already in mind. Others only have a vague idea, or are looking for guidance on what might be the best fit. You may be a seasoned dealer searching for reliable sourcing, a first-time enthusiast, or even an investor looking to diversify with something exciting.

No matter where you start, our first step is simple: we listen to your needs, evaluate your preferences, and either present tailored options or provide an unbiased assessment of a car you’ve already found.

 

Why Europe?

Europe is home to classics that were never widely sold elsewhere—or produced only in limited numbers. Think Land Rover Defenders, Rover Minis, Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeos, Citroëns, and countless other classic cars. On top of rarity, cars from southern and central Europe are often far less affected by rust compared other countries, and thanks to a wider market, prices are frequently more attractive.

 

Professional Inspections You Can Trust

Once a potential car has been identified, we arrange an appointment with the seller and perform a full in-person inspection. On average, we spend about an hour on-site (sometimes longer depending on the type of vehicle), carefully:

  • Test driving the car
  • Evaluating paint, bodywork, and undercarriage
  • Checking brakes, suspension, and mechanical condition
  • Verifying documentation and ownership
  • Identifying serial numbers and originality

 

You will receive:

  • A written report covering all aspects of the vehicle
  • 80–120 high-resolution photographs as visual proof
  • A personal follow-up call or email to review the findings and answer questions

Our support often extends beyond the inspection—helping negotiate price, guiding the purchase process, and coordinating transport or registration if needed.

 

Cost of Inspection

An average inspection costs €450, including travel of up to 200 km (round trip). For inspections requiring longer travel, additional expenses such as airfare or accommodation are charged at cost.
