A quiet bridge between the United Kingdom and the Motor City.
The Stateside Collection began, as the best things often do, around a kitchen table in Oakland County, Michigan.
Our family roots run deep into the soil of the Motor City. My wife's parents, brother and sister and their families live in Oakland County, a short drive from Detroit, the town where the American automobile was imagined, engineered and, for more than a century, perfected. Trips across the Atlantic to visit family have always ended the same way: standing in a barn, a workshop or a quiet driveway, admiring something extraordinary.
A lifelong love of American cars, shared across two branches of one family, has become the foundation of everything we do. What began as weekends spent looking at vehicles with the people we love has grown, slowly and deliberately, into a collection.
Over the years we have forged a genuine partnership with trusted dealers, restorers and private purveyors of fine vehicles across Michigan and the wider United States. Our stateside family are our eyes, our ears and our first port of call. Nothing is acquired sight unseen. Every vehicle is walked around, listened to and considered by people we trust, often before it is ever formally offered.
That partnership is what allows us to bridge the Atlantic, and to bring exceptional American classics, quietly and carefully, with full provenance, to collectors and enthusiasts across the United Kingdom and Europe.
We also work the other way around. If you are looking for a particular model, colour or specification that is not currently in the gallery, we can source it privately through our network of specialists across the United States. We will find the vehicle, assess it honestly, and come back to you with details and pricing.
For every vehicle that joins The Stateside Collection, the price includes shipping to the UK, customs entry, VAT and duty handling, and DVLA registration. You pay us and we do the rest, using the trusted shippers and handlers we have worked with for years.
This is not a business built on volume. It is a business built on family, on friendship, and on judgement.
Family on the ground
Our stateside family live minutes from Detroit. They know the region, the people, and the vehicles that quietly change hands there.
Where it all began
Detroit shaped the American century. Our search begins in the place these vehicles were designed, built and first driven.
Delivered with care
Every vehicle is prepared, shipped and presented to collectors across the United Kingdom and Europe, with the Atlantic quietly bridged.
