overview

DEALFAST sources significant motor cars from private collections, before they reach an auction catalogue.

THE MARKET

The best examples move quietly. A car with the right history is usually offered first to someone the owner already knows, and a meaningful share of what reaches public sale is what could not be placed privately. Buying at auction means bidding in public against people with more information than you. We work the other side of that market.

OUR NETWORK

Collectors, marque registrars, restorers and the specialists who have physically had these cars on a ramp. These are the people who know which chassis is genuine, which restoration was cosmetic, and which owner has quietly begun to think about reducing a collection. We are known to them because we do not gossip about what we are told.

WHAT WE VERIFY

History file and continuous ownership record. Chassis, engine and gearbox numbers, and whether they are matching. Restoration record and, more importantly, its quality. Competition history where claimed, checked against period sources. Registry and club recognition. Any accident or rebuild history. An independent marque specialist inspects the car in person and reports to you directly.

HOW WE ARE ENGAGED

Under written mandate, to a defined brief. You are introduced directly to the owner. We negotiate on your behalf and coordinate transport, customs, registration and, where relevant, storage through to delivery.
