Collection, inspection and loading
Every supercar shipment begins with a collection from a mainland UK address you nominate. Most commonly this is a private garage, a family residence, a marque-specialist workshop or a secure storage facility. The transporter arrives within a pre-agreed window. The driver completes a pre-shipment inspection, photographs every panel, the wheels, the interior and any pre-existing imperfections, records the fuel level and the indicated mileage, and walks the documentation with you or your representative before any loading begins.
Loading uses extended low-angle ramps that take a shallow approach to the trailer deck, well below the clearance threshold of a Pagani Huayra side skirt, a McLaren P1 front splitter or a Ford GT diffuser. The vehicle is driven or winched on at walking pace, then secured with soft webbing straps over the wheels rather than chains over the axle or suspension. The chassis carries no load through the tie-down and the paintwork never sees a buckle. Once secured, the trailer is sealed, alarmed and dispatched.
From collection the car travels in a single-vehicle enclosed transporter with air-ride suspension and climate control. Air-ride absorbs road shock and uneven surfaces in a way that conventional spring or torsion suspension does not, and the difference shows on low-mounted active aero, ceramic-coated wheels and undertrays at delivery. Where a journey requires an overnight halt, the transporter overnights at a secure fenced-yard site, not a roadside service area.
Tracking, escort and delivery
Every transporter carries a GPS unit and the live location is shared with you, your office or a nominated representative for the duration of the move. For ultra-rare collector pieces or full-car-collection moves where two or more cars travel together, we offer an escort vehicle running ahead of or behind the transporter. This is a familiar arrangement for clients shipping a homologation Ferrari, a Pagani-class hypercar or a set of cars to a single Mediterranean residence.
Hand-over takes place at the address of your choice: a private garage at a Monte-Carlo apartment, a Marbella villa, a hotel forecourt on the Croisette, a Saint-Tropez summer residence or a US-bound dealership receiving an enclosed container at an East Coast port. Port collection is not part of the brief — the driver brings the car to you. The driver completes a hand-over inspection mirroring the UK collection record, provides the cleared customs release where international, and emails the entire pack the same day.
For clients shipping into the established luxury routes, see our regular work to Monaco, Saint-Tropez and Marbella. If the destination is not listed, the service still applies. Request a quote with the address and we will confirm.
Marques and configurations we specialise in
The supercar service covers the full marque set: Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Porsche, Pagani, Koenigsegg, Bugatti and Rimac. The considerations are often as much about the body configuration as the badge. A modern Ferrari with active aerodynamics, a McLaren in long-tail trim, a Pagani with bespoke exhaust geometry and a Ford GT with a fixed splitter each have their own loading particulars. We carry timber load-out boards for the low-clearance pieces, raise hydraulic lift systems where fitted before approach, and brief the driver on the marque-specific procedure ahead of every collection.
Hypercars sit in their own category. Cars with carbon monocoques, active-aero rear wings, energy-recovery systems or limited-warranty drivetrains — Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, McLaren Senna, Aston Martin Valkyrie, Porsche 918 Spyder, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Jesko, Rimac Nevera — ship under the same single-vehicle enclosed protocol, with additional pre-shipment co-ordination with the marque specialist where the manufacturer requires it. Where a car is in storage mode, the procedure to wake it for loading is followed in line with the manufacturer guidance.
Older Ferraris that may need to return to Maranello for Ferrari Classiche certification — F40, F50, 288 GTO, early 250-series and 275-series cars, the original Daytona — ship under the same single-vehicle enclosed protocol, with documentation prepared specifically for the Classiche process and a direct hand-over to the receiving workshop. McLaren Special Operations (MSO) commissions, Pagani Grandi Complicazioni builds and Aston Martin Q programme pieces are handled with the relevant marque specialist on the receiving end. Limited editions, one-offs, Icona pieces and homologation cars receive the same single-vehicle enclosed treatment as standard.
For a full collection moving together — a private garage emptied for a summer residence on the Côte d’Azur, or a single owner relocating a stable of cars to the US West Coast — we co-ordinate a multi-transporter convoy with an escort vehicle and a single point of contact for the duration. Use our transport quotes page for the details we need, or request a bespoke quote and we will return within 24 hours.
