Private Sales & Acquisitions

Not every collector car
belongs on the open market.

Motori represents buyers and sellers in private transactions, from first conversation to closing.

Why Private

The largest audience isn't always the right one.

The right car doesn't need the whole market — only the right buyer, or the right seller.

For sellers

Sold quietly to the right buyer.

When privacy and control matter more than the largest audience. The car is shown to a short list of people who will value it — on your terms, your timeline.

For buyers

Found before it is offered.

The car you want may never be listed. We approach owners directly, often before a car is offered, and judge each on its merits.

Independence

One side of the table. Yours.

In a private transaction, the real risk is an advisor quietly working both ends. Motori won't. We represent the buyer or the seller — never both, and never the sale itself.

Only your interest, with nothing of ours behind it.

How It Works

The same method, whether you're buying or selling.

01

Understand

Your objective, the car, and where the market stands.

02

Recommend

Whether a private transaction is right. If not, we say so.

03

Represent

Approach the right people, negotiate, and protect your position.

04

Close

Documentation, logistics, payment, and a clean handover.

Where a car or a deal calls for it, we bring in our specialist advisors.

In Practice

Representative engagements.

Anonymized, but true to how these unfold.

A private sale

A significant car sold without being listed — placed with a buyer we knew, and closed within the month. The seller's name never appeared.

A patient acquisition

A car the buyer had wanted for years, owned by someone not looking to sell. We kept in touch, and in time the owner was ready — a quiet sale that suited them both.
