Showcase
Two on the job
One drives, one watches the clearances. Never one person alone with somebody else's car.
Still to come
A collection does not move in one load. It moves in the number of loads it takes.
In through the front
The showroom has no door wide enough. The car goes in over the sill, on a spreader frame.
Urban manoeuvre
Ramps down in the middle of the street, for the time one car takes.
Two 911 GT3s
Same model, same colour, two decks: neither one touches the other.
Blue on the lower deck
Four Porsches in one trailer, each on its own deck and its own straps.
Over the lawn
No hard standing between the road and the door. The arm covers what the wheels cannot.
Tensioning by hand
Four points, checked one by one. A lift is only as good as the least tight of them.
In position
Delivery ends when the car is where the visitors will see it, not at the loading bay.
Delivered by crane
No ramp reaches a rooftop. The last few metres are flown, on straps and hand signals.
At the Cinquantenaire
Open esplanade, car brought out under the arches: the place is part of the delivery.
Straight through
The lower deck seen from the rear doors: one car, the full width.
A track car travels
Low front, no ground clearance: the flat ramps exist for cars like this.
Under camouflage
A car that is not supposed to be photographed travels in a box with no windows.
Kept out of sight
The wrap hides the shape. The closed body hides the wrap.
Both with gullwing doors
Half a century between them and the same doors. Both need the ceiling height to open.
Front three-quarter
A modern collectible handed back to its owner, wheels on the ground.
Under the arch
Martini livery at the foot of the arch: it arrived by road, not on its own wheels.
Under the arch, in the rain
The cars stay dry inside; the crew does not. That is the arrangement.
The long bonnet
Front-mid engine, and a nose that arrives well before the driver does.
300 SL
The badge on the tail is the whole description. Nothing else needs saying.
Loaded for the show
Three cars, one truck, one arrival slot. Exhibitions do not hold a bay open.
Strapped aboard
An SZ tied to the floor, ramps up, doors ready to close.
On the deck
A million euros aboard, and four soft straps for its only contact.
The search could not load the photographs.
