Why MGS AutoMoto

A race car driver in a racing suit and red shoes standing with arms crossed next to a white race car marked with the number 55, at a race track with cars, monitors, and a person in the background.

Extensive appraisal experience across cars and motorcycles, including full collections for prominent collectors and institutions such as the Petersen Automotive Museum. That depth of exposure means we've seen the full spectrum - from concours-level restorations to well-disguised problems.

Gentleman Driver and Concours Judge

With over 20 vintage races and rallies across Europe - including Le Mans Classic and the Tour Auto - and concours judging experience at events like The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, the inspections we deliver are grounded in first-hand knowledge of how these vehicles are built, driven, and evaluated at the highest level.
Over 1,000 collectible vehicles managed through live auction sales at Bonhams and Broad Arrow, with hands-on experience in every phase from consignment to sale. We know how auction houses operate, what their preview windows allow, and what to prioritize when time is limited.
