Marque.

Sourcing and advisory for a small circle of collectors — and the software the practice kept needing.

[ many considered — one chosen ]
— The practice

A quiet sourcing desk for a few collectors.

The work is mostly conversation — weekly calls with a small circle of dealers, restorers, and other collectors about what's moving, what's coming up, and what's mispriced. Most of what gets done never goes through a listing.

Engagements run two ways: sourcing a specific car for a buyer's short list, and advising on a sale when the seller wants the right room rather than the loudest one. Auction-led where the auction adds value — private otherwise.

A short, verifiable record.

A representative cross-section. Years and counterparties withheld for client privacy.

— What it became

The tool the practice kept needing.

The practice kept reaching for software that didn't exist — one place for the registry, the receipts, the photographs, the chain of title. Marque is what we built. For collectors managing three to thirty vehicles, on the same quiet principles as the rest of this work.

Looking for something specific?

Sourcing and sale advisory are quiet by design. If there's a car on your short list — or in your garage — an introductory call is the easiest place to start.
