Frazier Motorcar Company

Frazier Motorcar Company is a dealer of vintage European sports and collector cars in Lebanon, Tennessee, about 30 minutes east of Nashville. The company says it opened its doors in Lebanon in 2017, after Jeff Frazier and his daughter and business partner Caitlin Frazier moved their operation out of Nashville. Jeff Frazier traces his career to 1976, and the company describes itself as a family business that keeps an average of about 50 European collectibles in stock.

History

The company's Our Story page says Jeff Frazier began in 1976 by buying an Austin-Healey 100-6 in California, driving it to Missouri and selling it, then spent years trading British cars through college. Later he ran Kansas City Sportscars, an independent Porsche and Mercedes shop, and Rocky Mountain Autosport in Colorado, which focused mainly on Porsches. After moving to Nashville in 2010, he and Caitlin sold European cars at Music City Motorsport for six years before launching the current business. The story is the company's own account and has not been independently checked. The company also says Jeff has handled over 4,000 air-cooled Porsches in his career.

What it sells

The focus is vintage European cars. The company's own pages and directory listings name Jaguar, Austin-Healey, MG, Triumph, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, with Ferrari, Maserati and Alfa Romeo also appearing in its descriptions. The site has separate sections for current inventory, sold cars, project cars and collector car parts, and a "Cars We're Looking For" page that shows what the company wants to buy. It says it keeps its cars in two warehouses and ships worldwide.

Consigning and selling

Frazier Motorcar Company takes consignments of European collector cars. Its Consignment page asks owners to submit the car through an online form for consideration, with a separate form for people selling a collection. Commission and fee terms are not published. If you are thinking of selling this way, consigning a classic is worth understanding first, including who pays for prep, storage and insurance while the car is for sale.

Buying from the company

Because the company ships worldwide, many buyers will never see the car in person. Ask for service records, any documented history, and detailed photos or video of the underside and engine bay. Pre-war and 1960s European cars in particular can hide rust and past repairs, and an independent inspection near the car is inexpensive compared with the purchase price. Financing and inspection arrangements were not described on the pages reviewed, so ask the dealer directly. If you are shopping the region more broadly, there are more classic cars in Tennessee to compare against.
