A private dealing room for the vehicles
the world doesn't get to see.

Michael Zimmer operates strictly as a private concierge rather than a high-traffic public showroom. To guarantee absolute anonymity for our collectors, every vehicle remains in its private estate until sale. We provide full high-definition documentation and protect your decision entirely with the complimentary 14-day home inspection period.

Because vehicles are hosted within secured private collections whose owners require strict anonymity, we cannot permit third-party onsite inspections. To completely offset this we take on 100% of the risk: the vehicle is delivered to your address for a 14-day inspection period.

Every vehicle we curate undergoes a rigorous vetting process before being listed. We provide comprehensive high-resolution photography of the exterior, interior, undercarriage and mechanical components, alongside full historical documentation. The 14-day inspection period is your physical inspection — if the vehicle does not match its description, we collect it and refund in full.

Our office is at Friedrich-Voß-Ufer 6, 24159 Kiel, registered at the Amtsgericht Kiel under HRB 11032 KI. Day-to-day brokerage, logistics and concierge communication are handled from there for clients across Europe, the Gulf and North America.

The vehicle belongs to a private collector who has commissioned us to manage the sale exclusively. Anonymity is one of the principal reasons clients choose us, so identities remain confidential and Michael Zimmer acts as the sole contractual and logistical intermediary between both parties.

Once our enclosed transport team delivers the vehicle to your address, your 14-day inspection period begins. You have 14 days to drive it, have it inspected by your own trusted marque specialist, and confirm it meets every expectation. It is the most pressure-free way to acquire a significant vehicle.

Notify your concierge by email within the 14-day window. We schedule our enclosed transport team to collect from your home at no cost to you. Once the vehicle is verified to be in the same condition as delivered, a full 100% refund is initiated within 48 business hours.

No. If a vehicle is returned within the 14-day window you receive a full, 100% refund of the purchase price. No restocking fees, administrative penalties or return shipping costs are deducted.

To let you truly experience the vehicle while preserving its collector value, we include a reasonable evaluation allowance of 150 kilometres — ample for routine road testing, specialist evaluation and pleasure driving.

On delivery, operational custody transfers to you and the vehicle must be covered under your own comprehensive classic-vehicle insurance for the duration of the inspection period. To qualify for the full refund, the vehicle must be returned to our transport team in the same condition in which it arrived.

Sign the short purchase agreement and we hold the vehicle off-market for you for ten business days while contracts and logistics are finalised. There is no separate deposit — the agreement itself secures your priority on the file.

We accept SEPA bank transfers in EUR and approved crypto settlement in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC or USDT. Full crypto settlement receives a 5% discount on the vehicle price. KYC and source-of-funds checks apply, and the final exchange rate is fixed when the agreement is signed.

Yes. Every vehicle ships with a fully compliant European invoice, a notarised bill of sale, the original registration documents (Fahrzeugbrief, carte grise, libretto, etc.) and — where requested — a notary deed of transfer. Margin-scheme (§25a) or standard VAT invoicing is matched to your country of residence.

No. The price shown is the complete acquisition price for the vehicle as represented. Our brokerage commissions are settled directly with the selling party — no surcharges appear on your final invoice.

Every vehicle we broker is transported exclusively via our specialised, fully enclosed carriers. The vehicle is protected from weather, road debris and prying eyes from the moment it leaves private storage until it arrives at your designated address.

White-glove enclosed delivery is offered across mainland Europe and to the UK, CH, NO and LI with Carnet de Passage prepared in advance. Costs are calculated transparently on your purchase proposal and shipments are insured at agreed value during transit.

Once paperwork is finalised and funds cleared, our logistics team typically prepares and dispatches the enclosed carrier within 5 to 7 business days. Transit time depends on your location; your concierge provides a live tracking link and coordinates a precise delivery window.

Yes. The contract signatory or a legally authorised representative must be present at the delivery address to inspect the vehicle on arrival, sign the transport manifest and accept the keys — the moment that starts your 14-day inspection period.

Naturally. All available historical provenance — original registration (Fahrzeugschein / Zulassungsbescheinigung), historical certificates, restoration invoices and service booklets — is catalogued and delivered with the vehicle.

Some vehicles from private collections may have an expired inspection status if they have been kept as static displays. The exact current status is explicitly stated in each vehicle's description and all original documentation is provided so you can manage local registration smoothly.

We provide a complete European sales contract and all necessary international export / import documentation (such as the EU Certificate of Conformity, where available, and deregistration papers). Your local registration agent can then register the vehicle in your home country without friction.

Wherever a vehicle is designated 'Matching Numbers' or 'Highly Original', its engine, chassis and gearbox codes have been verified against factory archive records. Complete documentation of these numbers is available on request.

Yes — Off-Market Sourcing is one of our core services. Using our deep network of private collectors, family estates and discreet European archives, we can track down specific marques and configurations that never reach the public market. Share your target specification with the concierge.

The point of the 14-day inspection period is total peace of mind. If your mechanic identifies a critical pre-existing defect or an undisclosed issue, you exercise your right to return the vehicle for a full 100% refund. We stand fully behind the integrity of every file we curate.
