EuroSpeC

EuroSpeC LLC is a small classic car business in Morrisville, North Carolina, in the Research Triangle area. According to its website, the company focuses on European and British classics from the 1960s and 1970s, along with selected American models. The site credits founder James Garland Jr. and says the business grew from a personal hobby that began in 1979. BBB records list the company's start date as March 1, 2018, and name Eric Watson as CEO, so the 1979 date appears to refer to the founder's interest rather than to the company itself.

How the business works

EuroSpeC mixes dealer stock with a limited consignment service. The company says it accepts a limited number of consignments to simplify the sale for the owner. Its showroom is by appointment only. The founder describes the approach this way: "Starting with very nice examples of some of the most interesting cars ever produced, we strive to refurbish or restore them." If you are thinking of selling, selling a classic on consignment explains the usual fees and trade-offs, and because EuroSpeC takes only a few consignments, ask early whether yours fits.

What EuroSpeC sells

The site organizes cars by marque: Alfa Romeo, Austin-Healey, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Triumph, plus a US Classic section. Past inventory shown on the site includes a 1962 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda, a 1964 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 and a 1965 Mustang convertible. The US Classic page, when we viewed it, showed only sold cars, among them early Mustangs, Corvettes and a 1957 Thunderbird. That suggests a small, fast-moving inventory, so there may be few cars available at any time. The site also has a coming soon section.

Other services

• Restoration and refurbishment: the company says it restores cars to driver, collector or show condition.
• Sourcing: it says it can help locate specific cars for buyers.
• Storage: the site describes climate-controlled, secure indoor storage in an alarmed, fire-sprinkled facility.

Buying from EuroSpeC

The site does not publish a deposit, financing or shipping process, so ask about each before committing. With any 1960s European car, an independent inspection by a marque specialist is worth the cost, and the usual dealer buying checks apply here. One public review describes a long-distance vintage car purchase handled with good communication, but we could not verify shipping arrangements.
