THE DRIVE

An independent concierge, not a dealership.

THE DRIVE is an independent automotive concierge for German sports and performance cars — trading vehicles is one part of what we do, not the whole of it.

Our core competence is supporting clients worldwide in finding, inspecting, buying, selling and safely exporting the right vehicle from the German market.

We search the entire German market rather than a single showroom, we are your eyes on the ground before you commit, and we accompany every step through to the handover — expertise, trust and genuine passion for the cars themselves.

Concierge Services

We don't just sell cars. We help people find extraordinary ones.

THE DRIVE is an independent automotive concierge for German sports and performance cars. Sourcing, inspection, purchase support, export — and, when it fits, vehicles from our own stock.

01Sports Car Sourcing

The right car in Germany — not merely the available one.

We search the entire German market on your behalf, not only our own inventory. You receive an independent recommendation and access to vehicles that are frequently never advertised publicly.

  • Individual search brief and specification
  • Full German market and off-market research
  • Access to privately held and pre-listing cars
  • Independent recommendation, no inventory bias
02Pre-Purchase Inspection

We are your eyes on the ground in Germany.

Most international clients cannot view a car in person. We inspect it for you and deliver an objective assessment before any buying decision is made.

  • Technical assessment and visual inspection
  • Paint thickness measurement
  • Document review and history plausibility check
  • Photo and video documentation
  • Test drive and condition rating
  • Clear buy or walk-away recommendation
03Purchase Support

No language barriers. No organisational friction.

We accompany international clients through the entire buying process in Germany and speak to every party on your behalf.

  • Communication with the seller
  • Price negotiation
  • Contract review
  • Appointment coordination and vehicle collection
  • Secure payment handling
  • Registration support and export arrangement
04Export Service

From Stuttgart to anywhere in the world.

We move German sports cars to clients worldwide and coordinate every document, carrier and customs step as one file.

  • Export documentation and customs clearance
  • Export plates
  • Enclosed transport organisation
  • Sea freight and shipping
  • International logistics
  • Coordination with forwarders
05Vehicle Sales

Selected cars of our own — curated, never mass market.

We also buy and sell vehicles ourselves. A deliberately small, carefully chosen selection — one part of the offering, never the whole brand.

  • Curated own inventory
  • Direct purchase of selected vehicles
  • Discreet consignment sale
  • Documented condition and provenance

Every service can be booked individually or combined into a complete engagement.
