Technical Automotive Advisory | Bureaucracy & Logistics

Specialized 30-minute private consultation

Navigating the complexity of Italian and international automotive bureaucracy.

Owning, importing, exporting or acquiring a heritage vehicle requires navigating a labyrinth of regulations, certifications, customs requirements, and logistical constraints. A single mistake in paperwork can devalue the asset, delay an export, or block a registration entirely.

This service provides a focused 30-minute technical consultation designed for collectors, investors, importers/exporters and clients who require expert-level clarity before taking action.

You receive:

✔ a precise, case-specific analysis
✔ a clear regulatory explanation
✔ a step-by-step roadmap tailored to your situation
✔ prevention of costly mistakes and delays

Select the area you need support with:

• ASI & Historical Registers 

Guidance on obtaining the Certificato di Rilevanza Storica (CRS), Gold Plate requirements, eligibility evaluation, and how to prepare the vehicle for historical inspection.

• Registration & Plates (Italy) 

Strategy for registering foreign vehicles in Italy, re-registering deregistered vehicles, handling PRA documentation, navigating Motorizzazione, and solving complex administrative issues.

• Auction Acquisition Strategy 

Pre-auction briefing for Italian auctions.
Includes due diligence, true market valuation, hidden costs, bidder strategy, and risk assessment.

• Import/Export & Customs Compliance 

Clear guidance on customs procedures, VAT rules, dazi, documentation, deregistration (radiazione per esportazione), and requirements for EU and extra-EU countries.

• Transport & Logistics 

Analysis of domestic or international transport options, enclosed vs. open transport, insurance coverage, safe routes, timing, and trusted carriers.

• Vehicle Purchase Advisory Consultation – 30 min

Strategic guidance before acquiring a heritage vehicle

Buying a classic or investment-grade vehicle requires far more than liking a model or finding a good price.
A misjudged purchase can lead to:

• unexpected restoration costs

• hidden mechanical issues

• non-matching numbers

• incorrect documents

• inflated asking prices

• and long-term depreciation instead of appreciation

This 30-minute consultation provides professional, unbiased guidance before you commit to a purchase.
Ideal for clients considering one or more vehicles and seeking expert validation.

What we cover during the session:

✔ Evaluation of the vehicle(s) you are considering
We analyze photos, documentation, market value, production history, and potential red flags.

✔ Authenticity & provenance assessment
Frame numbers, engine numbers, originality, restorations, and whether the car aligns with investment criteria.

✔ Investment potential
We assess appreciation trends, collector desirability, model rarity, and liquidity in the resale market.

✔ Strategic advice if you are choosing between two models
We outline which option is more stable, valuable, or suitable for your long-term goals.

✔ Pricing verification
We determine whether the asking price is fair, inflated, or strategically negotiable.

✔ Negotiation insights
Cultural and technical guidance to avoid overpaying and secure better terms.

Who is this for?

• Buyers unsure between two or more cars

• First-time collectors seeking expert validation

• Investors looking for stable, appreciating automotive assets

• Anyone wanting clarity before committing to a high-value purchase

Outcome of the session:

At the end of the consultation, you will have:

• a clear yes/no recommendation

• a professional valuation perspective

• an investment-grade opinion

• a negotiation strategy

• peace of mind before proceeding
