Exclusive documentation for historic vehicles
Digital collection management secures values
When the picturesque gardens of Villa d’Este are transformed into the setting for the Concorso d’Eleganza, when the May sun is reflected in the chrome and patina of the automotive works of art that come together on Lake Como, one central question arises: how can the value and unique stories of these rolling sculptures be preserved for posterity?
Vehicles such as those that can be admired on Lake Como, at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance or in private collections have, in the truest sense of the word, an eventful history: they are contemporary witnesses and beloved heirlooms, fascination on four wheels and tangible reminders of a time when vehicles were more than just the sum of their parts. The manufacturers’ designs reflect values that are no longer found today.
Modern protection methods
are essential for preserving the value of vehicles
In order to ensure that historically significant vehicles can be preserved for the future, a digital filing system has become indispensable: paper documents become outdated and can be lost or fall victim to water damage, fire and theft. Misplaced restoration records, previous owner logs, FIVA certificates and other missing or outdated key documents not only diminish the economic value of these rare vehicles – they also destroy part of their history and tear gaps in cherished memories and irreplaceable experiences. And let’s be honest: who wants to pull out folders and files in the warm breeze on Lake Como to show like-minded people and potential buyers a glimpse of their own treasures from their personal collection?
A customised, digital solution for comprehensive documentation of significant collection exhibits can not only preserve the unique value of heritage vehicles, but also make their history and special features accessible anywhere, in a forgery-proof and complete manner.
Digital collection management:
added value that goes beyond the financial
There is no question that digital collection management must meet special requirements when it comes to premium vehicles – to paraphrase political scientist Susan Stewart: collections are not only constructed by their elements, but also arise from their organisational principle.
A digital vehicle archive should not only offer space for photo galleries woven into a high-quality interface, but also enable the implementation of NFT-based certificates of authenticity and redundant backup concepts. Documents and in-depth information on restoration work, previous owners, sales prices, racing history and individual valuations should be securely and quickly accessible – anywhere in the world, regardless of the device used.
For discerning enthusiasts and collectors of outstanding, historically significant vehicles, this offers advantages that go far beyond value retention and appreciation: a comprehensive, cloud-based schematic representation of your collection will not only impress potential buyers and auction houses, but also family members and confidants. It is a welcome tool for appraisers and restorers in the event of accidents or theft. Vehicle exposés generated automatically in the system make it much easier to share your enthusiasm for individual exhibits with other connoisseurs. Added to this is the reassuring certainty of having all important vehicle documents and information available in one place at all times and simultaneously backed up redundantly.

Susan Stewart, American scholar, quote from her book “On Longing.”
Digital solutions –
as unique as the history of the vehicles behind them
True collectors are also characterised by the fact that they know how to protect the intangible value of their beloved objects, the history and emotions associated with a vehicle, just as much as their material value.
A digital vehicle history ensures that children and grandchildren, as well as auction houses, will still be able to understand what the vehicles stand for decades from now: timeless fascination on wheels.
