I had three trade quotes for the AMG. Jack achieved £21,400 more than the highest of them. Calm, professional, exactly what I needed during a busy quarter.
Torrington is a personal brokerage for owners of prestige and performance cars. We handle the full private sale on your behalf: professional photography, targeted marketing, promotion through our private buyer network and Jack's personal connections built over years in motorsport and the Goodwood paddock, viewings, negotiation, and paperwork. Most engagements carry no upfront fee. You pay only once the car is sold, and typically receive twelve to eighteen per cent more than any trade or instant-buyer offer.
Prestige or performance, typically £50,000 and above, owned outright or under finance. The fastest route is the trade, but it comes at a cost. Most owners lose between £10,000 and £30,000 to the trade margin on a car of this calibre. Torrington helps you keep that money. You handle nothing.
Professional photography, professional detail, written history, targeted marketing, promotion through our private buyer network and Jack's personal connections in motorsport, qualified enquiries, viewings, negotiation, and full paperwork. Every step is ours. None of it is yours.
Together we agree a reserve price upfront, the minimum amount you would accept. We then work to exceed it. You retain your full reserve in every case. The upside achieved above your reserve is distributed on terms agreed in advance between you and Jack. If we do not beat your reserve, you pay nothing at all.
The Torrington process is designed for owners whose time has more value than the gap between a trade offer and a private sale. We handle every stage of the transaction. You sign once at the start and once at the end.
An honest appraisal in person or by video. We agree in writing what the car will realistically achieve, and your reserve, before anything is listed.
Where appropriate, the car is collected, professionally detailed, and photographed to a high standard. Insured throughout.
Targeted promotion through our private buyer network, Jack's personal motorsport connections, and select prestige platforms. Your name and details remain anonymous.
Qualified buyers handled by us. Identity-verified payment. Outstanding finance settled if applicable. Cleared funds before keys change hands.
From a marketing pack you run yourself through to a fully managed concierge sale. There is a tier appropriate to the car, to your time, and to how much of the process you want to keep in your own hands.
For owners who will run the sale themselves, presented to a standard the trade cannot match.
Our core service. Full management of the sale from valuation through to completion.
For the owner who would simply like the car collected, sold, and the proceeds transferred.
A sale of this kind depends on more than a fair price. The terms of every engagement, what we will do, what we charge, and what you can expect, are set out in writing between you and Jack before any work begins.
Your name, address and contact details are never disclosed in any listing. All viewings are handled personally by us on your behalf, so you are not asked to host buyers yourself.
Reserve, fee structure and obligations are confirmed in a signed engagement letter before any work begins. There are no surprises at completion.
You pay nothing until your car is sold above your reserve. The work, the listing, the photography and the marketing are entirely at our risk, not yours.
Buyer identity is verified before any release of the car, and funds are confirmed cleared on receipt. The transaction is fully documented and the proceeds settled to you promptly upon completion.
We facilitate the private sale of cars owned outright and cars under finance. Where finance is outstanding, we support you through the settlement process with your lender, so the matter is properly squared between you and your finance company before completion.
Every car in our care is appropriately insured at each stage of the engagement, whether for transport, photography, viewings or storage during the sale.
I had three trade quotes for the AMG. Jack achieved £21,400 more than the highest of them. Calm, professional, exactly what I needed during a busy quarter.
The photography alone was worth the fee. The car was sold inside two weeks to a buyer he found privately. No tyre-kickers, no time-wasters, no fuss.
Honest about what the car would achieve. Honest about what it wouldn't. Reached the upper end of the range without me lifting a finger. I would use Torrington again without hesitation.
Torrington Private Car Sales is the personal brokerage of Jack Bolton. Jack spent the first decade of his career in senior marketing roles at major international brands, most recently NASDAQ, where the work was to make sophisticated buyers understand the value of sophisticated assets. He brings the same discipline to selling cars privately.
Alongside his career in marketing, Jack pursued a promising racing career. He came up through national-level karting, climbing the ranks before moving to Ginetta Junior and progressing to Formula 4 at a semi-professional level. He remains a regular fixture at Goodwood, embedded in the paddock community of owners, drivers and enthusiasts that has formed around the circuit. Years on the grid and in the pit lane have built a network that simply is not available to a trade buyer, and it is this network that Torrington draws upon for every sale.
Every client is taken on personally. Every sale is run personally. There is no team, no call centre, no commission-driven sales floor. There is one number, and it answers.

No obligation, no pressure to proceed. A confidential call to discuss your car, what it is likely to achieve privately, and how we would go about it. If it is the right fit on both sides, we move forward. Most enquiries arrive by personal introduction. Please call or message Jack directly.
