Showcase
Outside exhausts
Cream paint, exposed pipes, spoked wheels: nothing on this car forgives a knock.
Two spares on the tail
Everything that sticks out is a corner to protect. There are more of them than on a modern car.
Vintage motorcycles
Each machine on its own cradle, strapped by the fork and never by the bars.
Lashing down
Securing takes longer than loading, and that is deliberate.
Veyron, museum bound
Straight from the trailer to the exhibition floor, without a lap of the block.
296 and GT3 RS
Two new cars on two decks, never seeing each other for the whole trip.
Onto the ramp
Long wheelbase, hard springs, no synchromesh. It goes aboard at the pace of the slowest hand.
Over the pavement
A single-seater cannot climb a kerb. It goes over it, in slings, with the street closed.
The street as a dock
City-centre work has no yard and no room to turn. The plan is made before the trucks arrive.
Mustang art car
A hand-painted body: what it fears most is being brushed against.
Delivered trackside
Unloaded at the pit lane, ready to be driven the moment the track opens.
Lancia 037
A Group B rally car at the foot of the ramps, ready for the exhibition.
Chrome and vertical headlamps
The bumpers of this era are steel and stand proud. They meet the deck before the tyres do.
Lower deck
The low deck is for the low car. Which one goes where is decided before anything moves.
The handover
The job ends here, in front of the truck, with the owner. Not with a signature at a gate.
GT3 RS wing
The wing clears: height is checked at loading, not on arrival.
993 Turbo
A sought-after youngtimer travels like a new car.
The wing fits
That rear wing sets the height of the load, and it clears the roof.
Two Lamborghinis
Two cars for one client delivered on the same truck, a deck apart.
Seen from the ramp
Half a metre either side. The mirrors come in before the car does.
Before setting off
The last look is taken together. Anything noticed now costs nothing to fix.
Loaded and closed
Four cars, one truck, one driver who does not hand over at a border.
Private collection
A hypercar collected from a private driveway, with no crowd and no waiting in the street.
Four cars, open deck
Open transport is the right answer when the car is new and the run routine.
The search could not load the photographs.
