Step 1: Item Submission & Authentication

Once you submit your item for consideration, our team will conduct an initial review to assess its authenticity and eligibility for sale. Please provide as much of the following information as possible:

• Item type and clear, detailed description
• Year of manufacture or use
• Make and model (if applicable)
• Chassis or serial number
• Length of ownership
• History of purchase or provenance
• Certificate of Authenticity (if available)
• Supporting documentation or imagery

Each submission is carefully reviewed to uphold the integrity and credibility of our collection.


Step 2: Expert Valuation & Bespoke Sales Strategy

Following authentication, our panel of specialists will provide a transparent and honest valuation. This includes both a low and high estimate range, based on the item’s history, rarity, and condition.We’ll also recommend a bespoke sales strategy tailored to your item. This may include:

• Selection of an appropriate auction
• Consideration for inclusion in our Private Sales group
• Marketing to our global F1 collector base
• Option to make the final hammer price public or keep it confidential

Please note: Preliminary valuations based on photograpghs are subject to change following a physical inspection


Step 3: Consignment Agreement

If you wish to proceed, a consignment agreement will be issued outlining:

• Reserve price (if desired)
• Seller's commission
• Agreed payment terms
• Minimum consignment period (six months if the item remains unsold at auction)

Commission rates are set based on the value and nature of the item. Lower-value items, such as memorabilia, typically incur a minimum commission of 20%.


Step 4: Item Delivery & Preparation

Upon signing the agreement, you’ll be asked to deliver your item to our UK headquarters. Shipping is at the seller’s expense unless otherwise agreed. Once received, we will:

• Conduct professional photography
• Securely package the item
• Produce a historically accurate product description prepared by our in-house historians
• Issue a branded F1 Authentics Certificate of Authenticity, featuring:

- Tamper-evident hologram
- Unique serial number
- Near Field Communication (NFC) chip for official registration.


Step 5: Sale & Payment

Your item will be offered through the agreed sales channel. Upon completion of the sale, our finance team will manage the transaction and ensure timely payment in line with the terms set out in your consignment agreement. Payment will be made in Great British Pounds (GBP).

If you have any questions during this process, our team is here to assist at every stage.
