Showcase
Upper deck
A turn-of-the-century car comes off the top deck, winched at walking pace.
Four straps, on the wheels
Straps go around the tyres. Nothing pulls on an axle, a subframe or a chrome bumper.
Past the Atomium
Fog on the ring road. The pace drops, the delivery window does not.
At the exhibition halls
Show cars arrive days before the doors open, and leave the night they close.
Cadillac convertible
A fifties American set down outside the dealership, roof up.
Museum estate
Period livery kept exactly as it is, down to the painted lettering.
Door to ramp
Ramps laid right up to the doorway so the wheels never touch the cobbles.
Two decks
A city car under a sports car: the upper deck isolates the one below completely.
Fifty years apart
Two cars from the same marque and two eras, on the same deck, strapped the same way.
Through the side
The side opens along the whole length. A door that opens upwards needs the room above it.
SLR McLaren
Carbon nose, side exhausts behind the front wheels. Nothing about it is standard to handle.
Coastal road
Two cars with the transporter behind: some jobs move as a convoy.
A stop on the way
Between two loadings, the trailer stays closed and the car stays out of sight.
Releasing the straps
The upper deck is worked on your knees, one strap at a time.
Framed
About fourteen hundred were built. This one travels alone on its deck.
Both on board
The pair travels together because it is shown together. One truck, one route, one arrival.
Before the ramps go down
Look first, touch second. Everything that gets checked here does not get discovered later.
Strap in hand
Guided by voice, strap ready: nobody drives aboard on guesswork.
Side doors open
Four racing cars on two decks, and a door for every one of them.
Ready to unload
Ramps down, side doors open — four classics come out one by one.
Testarossa
A Testarossa delivered under the arch, transporter doors wide open.
Deck up
The upper deck rises to make room below. A collection is loaded in an order, not at random.
Guided in
Someone walks beside the car all the way in. The driver sees the deck; he sees the clearances.
Aboard
The doors close on the car before the truck leaves the kerb.
The search could not load the photographs.
