Collectors and Historic Racing Cars - Goodman Derrick LLP partner Martin Emmison specialises in transactions and disputes in the historic car field. Martin’s niche practice deals with domestic and cross border purchases, sales and exchanges of very expensive vehicles, together with issues of title, provenance, import, taxation and registration; the resolution of disputes often relates to transactions that are not properly documented, and problems surrounding replicas, restoration and race preparation.

  • In the 3 years up to March 2008, Martin was involved in transactions relating to the following significant cars changing hands: three 1950’s Maserati 250F GP cars and a 200si; two Ferrari F1 cars, two Ferrari 250 GTO, four 250 SWB, two 250 GT California, Ferrari 166 / 375MM / 250TR / 250LM / 275GTB and F40 models; three Jaguar D-Types, two C-Types, an E-Type Lightweight, four AC Cobra, Aston Martin DBR/2, DB3S and DB4GT; Porsche 917, 908 and 904/6, Ford GT40; Gulf Mirage, McLaren F1 GT, Bizzarrini, Lamborghini Miura, OSCA, Pagani Zonda, Delage GP car, Alfa Romeo Monza, 8C/2300 and 8C/2900, Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and Bugatti Royale / T57s Atlantique.
