Three decades alongside significant vehicles

Our story

Built on experience

Auto-Thentic International exists because collectors kept asking for the same thing: one party who could see a collection whole, rather than a series of specialists each solving part of it.

We work across museums, private collections and international markets, and we are as comfortable managing a long restoration as we are advising on a single acquisition. Where we are not the right people, we say so and bring in the associate who is.

The work is discreet by default. Most of what we handle is never publicised.

By the numbers
