Research, private approaches, comparable evidence, positioning, buyer qualification and negotiation support.
Leadership · Specialists · One mandate
One trusted lead.
The right expertise.
Phil Dunmore leads each Scuderia Milano assignment, bringing together the commercial, historical, technical and logistical specialists required by the particular car.
Phil Dunmore · Lead Consultant
The client relationship
has one clear owner.
Phil establishes the brief, tests the commercial and practical logic of the assignment and remains responsible for its direction. He is the point at which specialist evidence, owner priorities and the next decision are brought together.
For an acquisition, that may mean coordinating market research, condition and document review before negotiation. For a restoration or certification route, it means defining the objective before work begins, appointing the right specialists and keeping scope, evidence and approvals aligned.
“The specialist answer only becomes useful when it is placed in the context of the whole car—and the owner’s actual objective.”
The specialist bench
Expertise selected
for the exact assignment.
Not a generic panel. A defined team assembled around marque, period, condition, objective and location.
Provenance & certification
Archive research, component identity, factory records, certification preparation and historic-event eligibility.
Technical & restoration
Inspection, marque expertise, restoration scoping, factory specification, milestone review and completion checks.
Documentation & logistics
Professional photography, digital archives, confidential dossiers, specialist transport and controlled handover.
A shared standard
Detail is where
disciplines meet.
A correct component is not enough if it sits outside the documented specification. Beautiful craftsmanship is not enough if the evidence trail is lost. Strong photography is not enough if sensitive identifiers are disclosed.
Our role is to make each specialist contribution support the same objective—and to keep the owner’s decisions visible throughout.
