SCUDERIA MILANO / TRUST
A remarkable car.
In careful hands.
A considered plan for an exceptional motorcar. Your priorities, the car’s evidence and every important decision brought into one clear relationship.

WHY ENTRUST THE CAR
Experience you
can examine.
Scuderia Milano is newly established. Phil Dunmore’s twelve years with specialist motorcars came first.
Trust grows when the role is clear, the evidence can be examined and the owner knows who decides what happens next.
Phil’s earlier work includes personal ownership of an F40 and 575M, a full Monaco inspection before a possible investment purchase, and support with a GT40’s set-up for Goodwood racing. Today, he is actively involved in oversight of the Aston Martin Vanquish and both F355 Spiders in the Scuderia portfolio. The 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione file is an ongoing historical study.
These are different kinds of involvement. We name each one accurately, then agree a new assignment around your own car and priorities.

Three cars.
Three distinct roles.
Actual archive photographs provide context for the work. Their captions describe Phil’s involvement without turning past experience into a Scuderia company history.
Phil consulted on and fully inspected the Alfa Romeo while considering an investment purchase. No purchase is claimed.
Phil’s former F40 belongs to his personal ownership history. It is separate from any current portfolio F40.
Phil helped with the car’s set-up for Goodwood. The precise event and chassis await matching records.
THE WORK BEHIND THE IMAGE
Care starts
with the details.
Condition, specification, provenance and intended use shape the brief. A compelling photograph starts a conversation; inspection findings, documents and specialist advice allow an informed decision.

We agree what may be photographed, described and disclosed, to whom, and at what stage. Original documents are kept intact; sensitive details can be redacted in working copies. Viewings, specialists and transport are coordinated within those boundaries.
