StandardCar sourcing, done for you
We don’t have
a forecourt.
We know people who do. Ask for a Clio and we can often identify suitable options within days. Ask for a Focus ST and we’ll go find one worth buying, through our trade network, not the classifieds you’ve already checked.
Tell us what you need
Examples of the kind of cars we source, not current listings. Every brief is sourced to order.
How a brief
actually moves
You tell us the spec
Make, model, budget, and the deal-breakers. A Focus ST with under 60k on the clock, no cat-C, manual only, that kind of detail. Takes two minutes.
We confirm the brief with you
A quick call or message to check budget, timeframe, and that you’re ready to move if we find the right car, before it goes any further.
We put it to our trade network
Trade contacts, dealer relationships, and auction access. Nothing sits on a lot waiting for you, so the search starts the day you send the brief, not before.
Vehicles are checked before they reach you
We review ownership, mileage, and available history on anything we consider before it makes your shortlist, not after.
You get a shortlist, not a sales pitch
All available history and supporting records are provided with each option. If nothing’s worth your money, we’ll say so and keep looking rather than push a compromise.
You deal directly with the seller
Once you’ve picked a car and arranged your own inspection or checks, terms are agreed and paperwork signed directly between you and the seller. We’re not a party to that sale.
Standard or
exclusive?
| Standard | Exclusive | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical vehicles | Everyday and performance cars, Clio to M3 | Exotic, collectible, and off-market vehicles |
| Who it’s for | Buyers who’d rather not trawl listings themselves | Collectors and private buyers seeking verified access |
| Typical timescale | Days to a few weeks | Weeks to a few months |
| Engagement | Brief in, shortlist out, no paperwork required upfront | Signed letter of intent before the search begins |
What we check
Ownership, mileage, and available service history on anything we bring to you, drawing on CarMate, our own verification tool that pulls the actual salvage record behind a write-off rather than just the flag, along with current and historic insurance write-off status. Independent inspections can be arranged before you commit, and we’ll point you toward transport or delivery options once you’ve agreed a purchase.
How you’re protected
We’re not a party to the sale, so we never hold your money or the vehicle. Nothing is agreed on your behalf without you seeing it first, and you’re free to walk away from any shortlist at no cost.
Common
questions
Is there a cost to submit a brief?
No. Browsing, comparing, or declining a shortlist costs you nothing. Our fee is only due if you go on to buy a vehicle we source.
Do you sell cars yourselves?
No, we're not a dealer. We're not a party to the sale, we don't hold funds or the vehicle at any point, and any purchase is agreed directly between you and the seller.
What kind of cars can you source?
Everyday and performance cars, a Clio to an M3 and most things in between, sourced through trade contacts, dealer relationships, and auction access rather than public listings alone.
How long does it take?
Typically days to a few weeks, depending on how specific the brief is and what's available through the network at the time.
