Sourcing
Finding the right car shouldn't mean hours trawling listings, chasing sellers who never call back, or discovering the history only after the money's changed hands. At Madgwick, we source all cars on your behalf — from everyday runarounds to classic, performance and prestige vehicles — bringing the same care, discretion and attention to detail to the buying process as we do to storing and preparing your car once it's yours.
How It Works
The Brief
We start with a conversation. Make, model, spec, budget, history — even the intangibles that matter to you. The more precise the brief, the better the search.
The Search
Using trade contacts, auctions and networks not always open to private buyers, we identify genuine candidates — not just what's publicly listed.
The Vetting
Every car we recommend is inspected and checked — mechanically, historically and on paperwork — before it ever reaches you. No surprises after the sale.
The Negotiation
We handle the conversation with the seller, working to secure fair terms and a fair price on your behalf.
The Handover
Once agreed, we can arrange enclosed transport straight to our storage facility, and prepare the car to the standard you'd expect from Madgwick — ready to store, ready to enjoy, or both.
Why Madgwick
Sourcing sits naturally alongside what we already do. We're not a broker who disappears once the deal is done — many of the cars we source go straight into our care, stored, maintained and looked after long after the sale is complete. It's one relationship, not a handful of disconnected transactions.
