The problem
Why this capability exists.
Mainstream car finance misprices appreciating assets. Specialist classic lenders structure around residuals, not depreciation.
Our approach
- 01
Independent valuation against marque indices.
- 02
Match to lenders with appetite for the era and marque.
- 03
Refinance owned vehicles to release equity for next acquisition.
Outcomes you can expect
- Balloon and roll-over structures standard
- Collection-wide facilities for serious collectors
- Refinance to release within 7 days
