Why this room exists

I built this for myself first.

When I sold my last two Ferraris — an FF and a GTC4Lusso — I faced the choice every owner knows. The open classifieds meant test-drive tourists, time-wasters, and the genuine criminal element that circles this market. So I did what a careful owner does: I sold through an official Ferrari dealer. The experience was professional, the people were good, and the same network later helped me find the 488 GTB I drive today.

It also cost me roughly €40,000 — the spread between what the cars were worth and what a dealer can pay. That is not an accusation. Dealers carry showrooms, staff, stock risk and warranty obligations; the spread is the honest price of their convenience. But it is a price, and I decided I no longer wanted to pay it — and that the open market was no alternative.

So I built the third option: a quiet room of vetted people who document their cars properly and trade among themselves — discreetly, at a fraction of the cost, to one standard.

I am not selling a service here. I am sharing the standard I built for my own cars: research before opinion, full documentation before any sale, personal vetting before anyone enters, and discretion as the default. If you approach this market the way I do — and you are tired of choosing between the spread and the circus — this room is for you. If not, the research stays public either way.

What's behind each door

Three doors, one standard.

You can take as much or as little of this as suits you. The first door is open to everyone. The deeper doors are by application, and by fit.

Door One
The Research
Open to everyone · no application

Model-by-model and market-structure papers, sourced from public data, with every assumption marked and nothing sponsored. The research is the proof of standard — read freely, keep what is useful.

Door Two
Ownership Intelligence
By application

What these cars actually cost to keep: service intervals, known weak points, parts exposure, insurance logic. Member dossiers and early access — the working knowledge sellers don't volunteer.

Door Three
The Room
By application & fit

A small, personally vetted circle who document their cars properly and trade among themselves — discreetly, at a fraction of the dealer spread. No listings, no auctions, no public record.

What's behind door one? — read the guide

An honest look at what to expect, and who it's for. Not a sales document — the research stays public either way.

The Intelligence Series

Sixteen papers. One standard. Every claim sourced.

The halo cars of four marques — Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren and Porsche — beside the cross-market, regulatory and industry analysis. Each cover carries its paper's verified key figure: the cover makes a claim the paper proves. The full library of 122 papers lives in the member area.

Papers open as PDF. New papers are announced to members first.

What we do

Three disciplines. One standard.

Market Reports

Model-level research papers: positioning, production context, transaction signals and depreciation curves — built from public listings and documented methodology.

Ownership Intelligence

What these cars actually cost to keep: service intervals, known weak points, parts exposure, insurance logic. The numbers sellers don't volunteer.

Private Intermediation

Discreet, commission-based introductions between vetted collectors. No listings, no auctions, no public record. Available to members only.

Data first. Blunt over smooth. Public sources only, assumptions flagged in grey. The collector market runs on stories — we publish the numbers underneath them.
Editorial standard — applied to every paper since No. 01
What this is built on

A research discipline, applied to a market that runs on stories.

Marque Intelligence did not start from nothing. It is a venture of IMP InterMediaPartners, a B2B market-intelligence firm in Wuppertal founded in 1976 — a house that spends its working life reading industrial markets for clients who cannot afford to guess where the next move comes from.

That is the same discipline applied here: read the data before the opinion, source every claim, separate what sold from what someone hoped it would. Chemistry, pharma, petfood, automotive — the sectors IMP reads all sit on the same principle the collector market forgets. A market pivot usually announces itself in the numbers long before it shows up in the talk.

I have been inside the Ferrari world since childhood, and inside serious B2B intelligence for nearly three decades. Marque is where those two finally meet — the enthusiast's eye, held to the analyst's standard.

In conversation

The people who actually move this market.

Collectors, marque specialists, inspectors, auction insiders — recorded conversations about what the data means in practice. No scripted monologues; real discussion, on the record.

The Room · House Rules

Respect is the entry fee.

The internet has made contempt cheap. Forums where every honest question is met with scorn; comment sections where strangers speak to each other in ways they never would across a table. We are not importing that culture here.

This room runs on one standard: argue hard about cars, never about people. Disagreement is welcome — it is how good judgment gets made, and our papers invite it. Condescension, ridicule and personal attacks are not. Toward anyone: members, sellers, or the newcomer asking the question you stopped asking twenty years ago.

01 Critique the car, the price, the argument — never the person. A weak argument deserves a better argument, not a verdict on whoever made it.
02 Every question is a serious question. Everyone in this room started somewhere. The day questions become embarrassing here is the day this room has failed.
03 Discretion is mutual. Cars, prices, names — what is shared in the room stays in the room. The same standard that protects you protects everyone else.

None of this is a preference, an aspiration, or a code we enforce reluctantly. It is a condition of membership — the same way the vetting is.

If that reads as strict, we understand. Then this is not your room, and we would genuinely rather you didn't apply. We will always choose a smaller room over a louder one.

Membership — by application

A vetted room, not a mailing list.

Membership is personal, reviewed individually, and deliberately small. Every applicant is vetted — ownership history, references, conduct. No burnout crowd, no flippers, no anonymous accounts.

Members receive every paper on publication, access to ownership intelligence, invitations to curated drives and closed gatherings, and — where appropriate — access to private intermediation.

There is no public price list and no instant checkout. Apply, and we talk first.

The application takes three minutes. It is read by a person, answered by a person, and usually followed by a conversation — that conversation is the door.

No public price list, no instant checkout. Apply, and we talk first.

Applications are reviewed personally. Expect a reply, not an autoresponder. Your details are used for the review only — see the privacy policy.

The founder, off the record

Beyond the research.

Showroom mornings, details, the cars themselves — a private lens, kept deliberately separate from the dossiers. Unscripted, unaffiliated, on my personal channels.
