About
Who am I?
For those curious about my offerings, here’s my background and what led me to pursue my passion. After a long military career in the operational forces of the French Navy, I transitioned into sales, management, and coaching. I’ve worked with business leaders and senior executives.
Always searching for my ideal, I joined a garage where I sold new and used vehicles, utility vehicles, as well as a sports brand. A brand with a history steeped in several rally victories. A brand where my love for automotive history allowed me to flourish in this field of activity and thanks to which I developed a real passion for vintage cars.
Since then, I’ve participated in all the classic vehicle exhibitions, including cars, motorcycles, and even tractors!
Today, still driven by my passion, I want to share it with both novices and experts. I am your dedicated contact so you can find the vehicle of your dreams and share a passion for classic cars.
At Classic Vintage Car, I support sellers by providing a high-quality showcase for their vehicles, working on the presentation, the text, and the offer. I offer broad visibility to classic car owners looking to buy or sell their vehicles. My goal is to showcase each car so it finds the ideal buyer.
For buyers, I offer a comprehensive and personalized purchasing journey. Whether you have a specific budget or are looking for the perfect vehicle, or the car of your childhood, I’ll guide you every step of the way:

FAQ
Is the commission due if the vehicle doesn't sell?
No. The commission on the sale price is only due if the transaction is completed through us.
Why pay an activation fee for the Excellence Plan?
It’s a guarantee of quality. This fee covers the actual work done before the vehicle goes on sale: our travel expenses, the time spent on the technical inspection, and, most importantly, the professional photographer. This allows us to create a “Premium” listing that attracts the best buyers.
Can I switch from the Freedom plan to the Excellence Mandate?
Yes, at any time. If the “Freedom” sale doesn’t yield results, we can switch to an exclusive mandate to revitalize the process with new photos and an adjusted strategy.
Do you only sell classic cars?
We specialize in vehicles “with character”: historic cars, collector’s cars, Youngtimers, and sports models with collector’s potential.
How do you select the vehicles offered for sale?
Each vehicle undergoes a thorough analysis: history, traceability, model consistency, mechanical and cosmetic condition, and price/market positioning.
We prioritize classic and vintage automobiles presenting a solid documentation file and a value consistent with the Swiss and international market. Quality systematically prevails over volume.
How can I know if my vehicle can be listed for sale with you?
We accept vehicles corresponding to our editorial line: classic or vintage models presenting a heritage, historical, or collector interest.
If the vehicle does not meet our criteria (insufficient condition, unclear history, inconsistent price positioning), we prefer to decline the mission in order to preserve the credibility and transparency of our transactions.
Why use an intermediary to search for a classic car?
The classic car market relies largely on network, experience, and analytical capacity.
Our support allows you to:
-
access off-market vehicles
-
avoid overvalued or non-compliant models
-
secure the negotiation
-
save considerable time
-
benefit from an objective view on the coherence of the project
The objective is not only to find a vehicle, but to find the right vehicle.
Are you bound by an obligation of result?
Our missions are framed by an obligation of means.
We mobilize our network, our monitoring tools, and our expertise to identify relevant opportunities. However, the availability of a specific model depends on the market, rarity, and defined budget.
We commit to the investment and rigor of the work, not to the immediate existence of a vehicle.
Are fees due for a personalized search?
Yes. Search fees are due at the start of the mission.
They cover the analysis of the specifications, the activation of the professional network, targeted prospecting, and initial steps.
This step formalizes a reciprocal commitment and guarantees a search conducted in a serious and structured manner.
Are the search fees deducted in the event of a purchase?
A partial deduction of the incurred fees may be applied to the final commission if the acquisition is carried out through our intermediary.
The terms are specified contractually at the launch of the mission.
How long does a search mission last?
The duration depends on the model sought, its rarity, and the allocated budget.
Some searches are completed within a few weeks, others require several months, particularly for rare models, matching numbers, or presenting very specific criteria.
A realistic and well-calibrated project considerably accelerates the process.
Do you refuse certain search requests?
Yes. We refuse projects presenting a budget clearly misaligned with the market or criteria incompatible with each other.
Transparency is part of our approach: a coherent project is based on a realistic evaluation of the current classic car market.
How do you guarantee the transparency of a transaction?
Each step is clearly explained: vehicle analysis, valuation, negotiation, structuring of the offer.
Our role is to secure the transaction and provide an objective reading of the vehicle and its value.
Trust is based on clarity of information and alignment of expectations.
