We specialise in sourcing the best vehicles. This is why we are constantly told by clients that the vehicles we source are well above the condition of most others on the local market.
The pictures are typical of the information we provide prior to auction for each vehicle of interest, with any faults shown so you can clearly see the condition before we discuss whether to bid, and your budget.
Whether you’re looking for a 1970 Toyota Corolla KE20 like this, or another year, make or model, we can find it for you in nice condition and at the best possible price.
It is vital when sourcing your vehicle to use an agent that takes the time to physically check each vehicle and looks beyond the auction pictures and report to confirm condition. Some vehicles may have an unpleasant smoke or other odour, rust underneath, or other faults which are impossible to know without inspection.

I purchased an EVO VIII through you in July last year. Sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you but have been busy building the new workshop and then the car.
Just thought I would thank you for your efforts and let you know we are very happy with the car. It’s now almost complete and ready for its first rally outing on 21st Feb. I have enclosed a few pics for your interest and we will have the total build on our web site soon.
