Showcase
At the Nürburgring
Some deliveries are made at the foot of a circuit, not outside a garage.
Collected from the driveway
The truck comes to the house. The car does not roll on its own wheels.
Scissor doors up
Open to let the driver out, not for the photograph.
At the museum
The Brussels motor museum's own transporter, at the Cinquantenaire entrance.
Centred on the deck
A hand's width each side of that rear wing, and the straps still to come.
Ford GT
Low nose, long overhang: it goes up the ramps at walking pace, on the flattest angle.
Nose first
Loaded facing forward, so it leaves the way it came in: driven, not pushed.
Last load of the day
The car is expected in Switzerland. The light goes before the work does.
Sport Spider
A roadster with no windscreen, carried enclosed for exactly that reason.
Mercedes collection
Several cars from one owner moved in a single load.
A collection on the move
When every car on board is a runner, one open carrier replaces four trips.
Pushed to the stand
No starter, no reverse, tramlines underfoot. Four people and a walking pace.
In the box
A touring car that raced for a living, carried the way it is worth today.
Lifted into place
The stand sits where no ramp reaches. The group's recovery trucks bring the arm.
In transit
From one point in Europe to another, with no transfer along the way.
Delivered to the sand
Some cars are not delivered to a garage but to a stand, on time and unmarked.
Down to Monaco
An AMG GT Black Series arrived by road, under cover from the first mile to the last.
Back on its wheels
Slings off, straps coiled. The whole lift takes longer to prepare than to perform.
The Silver Arrow
Bare aluminium, no paint to hide a mark. Everything is done with two hands on the tyres.
Six pairs of hands
A grand prix car of this age is not driven between two points. It is walked.
Citroën DS
Out of a barn, loaded without starting: a car that will not run still travels.
Lined up with the ramps
One person aligns the car, another watches the clearance. Nobody rushes.
Pre-war drophead
Spare wheel on the flank, whitewall tyres: nothing sticks out of the cabin.
Across the tramlines
Fifty metres of public road between the truck and the door. They are the longest of the job.
The search could not load the photographs.
