The car matters.So does everything around it.
Found a car, preparing a sale or facing a vehicle dossier that is becoming complicated? I can step in wherever things stand — to search, assess, negotiate, sell or coordinate what comes next.
Where to begin
What stage are you at?
You do not need to have everything worked out. Simply choose the situation closest to yours.
01
An idea to define
02One model in mind, several possibilities or simply an idea that still needs shaping.
A car already identified
03A listing, documented history or price on which you would like an independent view.
A sale to prepare
04A car to position, present properly and introduce to the right people.
The next steps to arrange
Import, compliance, registration, transport or several parties who need coordinating.
Currently available
For sale now.
This is not stock. Every car shown here has a dossier I follow and can be presented with both its strengths and the points requiring attention.

Off-market
Not every car appears on the website. Some are introduced directly when they match an active search.
Discuss your searchThe advisory work
From the first doubt to the keys. Or for one step only.
Some cases require end-to-end support. For others, an assessment, negotiation or one precise step is enough. The scope is defined around the need, not a fixed package.
Search & selection
Clarify the brief, search in France or across Europe and separate the genuinely worthwhile leads from the rest.
- Criteria and priorities
- Curated shortlist
- Decision support
Vehicle assessment
Review the listing, documents, history and asking price to distinguish what is reassuring from what still needs checking.
- File review
- Points to watch
- Opinion before proceeding
Negotiation
Work on the price, but also upcoming work, included parts, timing and the wider terms of the transaction.
- Position prepared
- Structured discussions
- Terms negotiated
Managed sale
Position the car in the market, prepare its presentation and filter enquiries before arranging serious discussions.
- File and listing
- Content and distribution
- Buyer qualification
Administration & logistics
Keep the surrounding steps moving when the transaction does not end with a signature.
- Compliance and registration
- Transport or repatriation
- Specialist coordination
INSPECTION · FACTS FIRSTHow I work
Say what is right. And what is not.
A beautiful car can be a poor transaction. An imperfect vehicle dossier can still be the right one. It all depends on what we know — and what remains unknown.
I am not here to push you towards a car. My role is to understand its documentation, defend your position and tell you plainly when something does not add up.
- A verified fact is never confused with a seller’s statement
- Defects, costs and grey areas remain visible
- The scope and fees are agreed before work begins
If a workshop, inspector, transporter or registration specialist is needed, the right people are coordinated without leaving you to manage every handover.

Before getting in touch
A few straight answers.
First conversation
What should we look at?
A model, a listing link, a VIN or two sentences about the situation are enough. The rest can follow in conversation.
