Step 01

You place your search request

Tell us what you are looking for — marque, model, specification, budget, wishes. As specific or as broad as you like.

Step 02

We put it out

Your search request goes to our network of marque specialists, collection managers and contacts worldwide.

Step 03

We search alongside you

We look through our own records, collections we are allowed to sell pieces from, and wait until something comes along.

Step 04

We come back to you

As soon as there is something that fits — and only then — we make contact. No costs. No obligations. Ever.

01Why this works

The car you are looking for is not on Marktplaats.

The finest and rarest cars change hands without an advertisement ever being placed. They are in private collections, in the garages of families who have kept the same car for decades, in the files of marque specialists who know what is about to become available.

HooG Selections has access to that network. Not because we are the largest, but because we know the right people. People who call when something special becomes available — before anyone else knows.

Your search request does not disappear into a system. It goes to people. People who, like you, know the difference between a beautiful car and the right car.

The best cars are gone before they ever appear online. We make sure you are the first to hear of them.

02Our network

Where we search

Marque specialists worldwide

People who have devoted their lives to one or two marques. They know what is available — and what is about to become available.

Private collections

Collectors who do not advertise but do sell — when the right buyer comes along. We know the collections and the people behind them.

Family collections

Cars in family ownership that have not been on the market for decades. Sometimes a single car. Sometimes a complete collection.

International network

From Japan to California, from Swiss garages to Italian family businesses. Active in 23+ countries.

Our own records

Years of contacts, tips and leads that come along at the right moment. We actively match your search request to what comes in.

Garages behind closed doors

The cars that are not for sale but are going to be — if you are there at the right moment. We know where those doors are.

05What clients say

How it works in practice

★★★★★

"I had been searching for the Dino in vain for two years. Six months after my commission with HooG they called me. Matching numbers, first owner. Never been for sale. Exactly what I was looking for."

M. Verhoeven

Entrepreneur · Amsterdam

Ferrari Dino 246 GT · 1972

★★★★★

"Budget was tight for what I wanted. HooG said: 'give us time'. Nine months later I had a 911 SC that was better than I had dared hope for. Everything documented."

R. Bakker

Director · Utrecht

Porsche 911 SC · 1980

★★★★★

"I did not know exactly what I wanted — only that it had to be special. HooG brought me two options in eight months. One was perfect. It is now in my garage."

D. Hendriks

Collector · Eindhoven

Lancia Stratos · 1975

06Frequently asked questions

How a search request works at HooG?

What does commissioning a search cost?

Nothing. Commissioning a search is entirely free and without obligation. We charge you neither fees nor commission for the search process itself. Only if you decide to buy do we agree a normal transaction.

How long does it take before you find something?

That varies greatly from one request to the next. A much sought-after Porsche 911 can turn up within weeks. A rare Lancia Stratos can take months or longer. We are honest about the expectation for your specific request. Quality comes before speed — always.

What if I do not want to buy the car you find?

No problem at all. There is no obligation. If we call you with a candidate, you decide. We go back to work if it is not the right example.

How far does your network actually reach?

We are active in more than 23 countries. From Japan and the US to Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Scandinavia. We work with marque specialists who have local networks that we could not reach ourselves. That is the strength of working together over searching alone. Cars we find we deliver to your door, throughout the Netherlands and Belgium.

Can I withdraw a search request?

At any time. Email [email protected] and we stop searching immediately. No paperwork, no costs, no questions.

What if I do not know exactly what I am looking for?

Then we begin with a conversation. Tell us the feeling, the use, the budget. We help you work out what you are really looking for — and only then do we set to work. Some of our finest commissions began with "I do not know exactly yet".
