The service

An acquisition. Thought through.

Tell us the car or watch you want, your budget and timing. MCL compares suitable examples, negotiates on your behalf and coordinates specialist checks. You see the proposed total cost, including our fee, before you commit.

Before we begin

Clarity throughout.

Can you search for a particular reference or specification?

Yes, the brief can be narrow or exploratory. Availability and condition are assessed during the search; no particular asset is guaranteed.

Do I need Reserve membership?

No. A private acquisition can be commissioned independently. Reserve can support the ownership that follows.

Who verifies the asset?

The relevant independent specialist is scoped to the asset and proposed checks. We distinguish verified findings, seller statements and unresolved information.

MCL coordinates the search and agreed process. The seller supplies the asset; independent specialists provide reports within their scope. Purchase money is paid directly under the agreed transaction arrangements. Fees and third-party costs are confirmed before commitment.
