Our competitive advantage is the knowledge we have of cars and
car people. We are focused and specialised. We know the collectors
and the designers in the world and maintain a privileged relationship
with them. We work for Pininfarina,
Louis Vuitton, and a few other clients,
private and industrial.
Let us give you a few examples.
Pininfarina
has a long tradition of building one-off cars for royalty, heads
of state, stars and entrepreneurs. We have
been officially appointed a marketing consultant
by Pininfarina to
assist the Special Projects department. We will introduce
clients to this unique world of
'Haute Couture' and help them make their dreams come
true.
We
launched the yearly Louis Vuitton Classic
concours in Paris and its travelling offsprings in Europe. We
are actually advising Louis Vuitton
on all their car events, including their concours awards and
their fabulous rallies like the China Run.
Other missions we completed:
• the world premiere introduction of the 456 GT coupe for
Ferrari
• the organisation of FF 40 on the occasion
of the 40 years of cooperation between Garage Francorchamps
(the Belgian importer of the marque) and Ferrari,
one of the most important ever meetings of Ferrari automobiles
• the market research for an automobile recreational complex
in Torino for Finpiemonte
• design reviews for a major car manufacturer.
When should you call us?
• If you are an event organiser, we will help you launch
or improve your event and, should you like so, contact entrants;
we set up judging teams and judging rules for concours and Christian
Philippsen regularly acts as a judge himself.
• If you are a collector, we will be happy
to advise you on improving your collection, and on buying and
selling cars. With Pininfarina, we
can explore the possibilities of building a one-off 'haute couture'
car fulfilling your wildest dreams just for you.
• If you are a car manufacturer, we'd love to work
with your designers on how to include your DNA, the critical
elements
that
shaped your identity, in new concepts
•
We will also be delighted to assist in preparing seminars
or symposiums
on design or collecting.
• Need an auctioneer? Having been with
Christie's for thirteen years, Christian
Philippsen has gathered an unequalled experience.
• He
is also an entertaining guide and will be delighted to plan
a tailor-made tour for you.
Last but not least, in 2005, we acquired the rights to Automobile
Year,
the work of reference par excellence since 1953, relating
all that matters in the world of cars: industry, markets, new
models, motor sport and historic scene. Our
publishing department will soon be able to undertake special
commissions.
Don't
hesitate to contact
us.
