A note on the maths. Time-reclaimed numbers use two rates. Admin hours are costed at $60 /hour, the hourly cost of the person on your side who would otherwise be handling the task: EA, PA, family-office admin. Professional hours, which arise only in the estate and tax line, are costed at $250 /hour. That figure sits at the bottom of the published English guideline hourly rates for 2026, which run from £200 for a Grade C solicitor outside London to £579 for a Grade A solicitor in central London, roughly $256 to $742. Robert Walters UK salary data (2026) puts an experienced London EA at £24 to £28 per hour on base salary. Once employer costs (national insurance, pension, benefits, agency margin) are added in, the fully-loaded cost typically rises to £40 to £57 per hour, which converts to roughly $50 to $72 in USD. Our $60 figure sits at the midpoint of that fully-loaded band, and well below senior family-office staff on published family-office cost benchmarks (UBS, J.P. Morgan, Campden Wealth, Morgan Stanley, 2026). Losses-avoided numbers combine avoided damage (fuel, storage, cold-start), avoided fines, avoided vendor waste from unaudited subscriptions, and coverage-gap protection tracked against real market movement.
The Pricing

Straightforward, from the start.

You've seen the platform. You know what it can do. One rate if we do the work, and a lower one if your own people do. The fee is billed annually in advance. The one-off fee at the start is paid in two halves, on signing and on delivery. Thirty days' notice to end at any time, with unused months refunded and no exit fee. No hidden charges, no negotiated add-ons, no gimmicks. On cancellation you keep your data, your files, and your domain, which we transfer to you to renew directly. Handover Records already published stay at themotorcaroffice.com forever.

€9,000 / car onboarding
paid once, then a monthly fee of €900 per car / month
Billed annually in advance.
We do everything. Scanning, sorting, filing, uploading, and your photographs prepared and placed in sequence. Your own account director, so you are not ringing an office and getting somebody different each time who has never seen your cars. Up to 350 pages per car included.
  • The full platform: Garage, Showroom, Filing Room, Saleroom, Rally Map, Provenance Map, The Estate, and every tool released to it
  • Scanning on site by our ISO 27001 and ISO 15489 accredited archival partner, in your jurisdiction. An archivist attends with mobile equipment and your documents never leave the room they are kept in

  • Every document per car catalogued, filed and searchable, curated by the concierge

  • A monthly briefing that takes you through what moved and why

The Platform
You maintain the records
€25,000 / setup
paid once, then a monthly fee of €300 per car / month
Billed annually in advance.
You maintain the records. We watch the market. For collectors whose family office, EA or private staff already handles the paperwork, the platform is yours to run. We keep the values current, because pricing comparable sales against a moving market is the one part of this that cannot be handed to an assistant.
  • The full platform: Garage, Showroom, Filing Room, Saleroom, Rally Map, Provenance Map, The Estate, and every tool released to it
  • Your own private domain, brand configuration, and platform kick-off completed by our team
  • Your own server, separate from every other client's collection
  • Two days of training for your staff, and a documented onboarding process for them to work through
  • Monthly market valuations, researched and curated by us, with the working shown
  • A Handover Record* prepared for every car that leaves your care
  • Email support for platform questions
  • Your data, your documents, your domain: always yours to keep

The values are refreshed on the platform each month. They are priced against the specification and condition recorded on your platform, so they are as good as the record your team keeps, and if we see something that looks wrong we will tell you. The monthly briefing, where we take you through what moved and why, is part of the Concierge.

Enquire about The Platform

One rate per car, whatever the car is worth, because the work tracks the paperwork rather than the price. A car with four countries in its history and a restoration under way takes more of our time than a more valuable one that has sat quietly with a thin file. Both engagements begin at ten cars and are billed annually in advance. A car added during the year is charged pro rata; a car sold is credited pro rata at renewal. Above thirty, the shape of the collection matters more than the count, so we would rather talk. Each currency carries its own round figure rather than a conversion.

How onboarding works
Applies to The Concierge. On The Platform your own staff do the onboarding, with our guidance.

Onboarding is sequential, one car at a time. Our accredited archival partner attends the place your paperwork is kept and scans on site. Nothing leaves the room it is stored in, and every folder is returned exactly as it was found, in the same order. The scans reach us over a secure transfer, and from there every document is catalogued by your concierge, filed against the platform's categories, and paired with the right images from your collection.

* The Handover Record is the continuous provenance file the new owner receives when a car changes hands. It is generated and published by The Motorcar Office alone, because no one else holds the underlying material and every record on our domain is reviewed and issued directly by us. Included in your service, because every car that leaves a Motorcar Office collection should arrive at its next owner with the full record intact.
