The value of a good British classic is in the details.
Deciding to sell a good classic is not always something you do overnight. Perhaps you have cared for the car for many years, had it restored yourself, or enjoyed memorable journeys behind the wheel. When the time comes to sell, you want to know that the car’s quality and value are properly understood, and that the sale itself is handled correctly.
My name is Rob de Bruin. As both an enthusiast and a specialist in British classics, I am always looking for the right examples for my changing collection. No consignment or lengthy sales process, but personal contact, a clear assessment and, when we agree, a direct purchase.
A good classic stands out from the crowd
With a special British classic, the marque, model or year only tells part of the story. Condition, history, originality and specification are often what truly make the difference.
That also means that age or price range need not be the deciding factor. An exceptional Jaguar XJ can be every bit as interesting to me as an early E-Type, a Bentley Continental or a more modern Aston Martin DB9.
If you own a car that has demonstrably been well maintained, carefully restored or preserved in particularly original condition, I would be interested to hear more about it.
My main interests are:
Jaguar – Daimler – Bentley – Rolls-Royce – Aston Martin – Land Rover
Sell directly and personally
When you offer me your classic, I assess the car personally. With many years of experience in British classics, I can usually determine quickly whether a car is right for my collection.
There is no need to prepare the car for sale or advertise it yourself. We discuss the car and the price directly. If we come to an agreement and the car is as described when inspected, the sale can be completed straight away.
Documentation such as maintenance invoices, a Heritage Certificate, restoration records and information about previous owners all help to build a clear picture of the car. Ultimately, however, it is the complete picture that matters: a good car with a good story.
Beyond the Netherlands
Is your classic located outside the Netherlands? That need not be an issue. A large part of my clientele and network is based abroad, and the cars in my collection come from a variety of countries.
For the right British classic, I therefore look beyond the Netherlands. Throughout Europe, and for particularly special examples, even further afield.
Offering your classic
Are you considering selling your British classic? Send me a few recent photographs together with as much information about the car as possible. You can do so by email, WhatsApp or via the form below.
Useful information includes the year, mileage, maintenance history, ownership history, any restoration work carried out and the documentation that comes with the car. Based on this, I can usually give you a good indication fairly quickly of whether the car may be of interest to me.
If it is, I will contact you personally and we can discuss the next step.
Curious whether your British classic might be right for my collection? I would be pleased to hear the story behind the car.
Kind regards,
Rob de Bruin
