The Enthusiast Garage

The premier destination for buying and selling the world's most exceptional cars. Curated listings, expert representation, and unmatched access to qualified buyers.

Who We Are

The Enthusiast Garage was founded in 2016 by die-hard enthusiast and journalist Tim Neely — a man with a burning passion for cars and decades of experience collecting, buying, preparing, representing, and selling sports and performance cars across every era.

Behind every listing is a talented team of enthusiasts with the expertise to prepare, enhance, film, and represent your vehicle or collection in the best possible light.

Every car, every client receives the same care, knowledge, and curation that Tim gives to his own personal collection.

We specialize in European and transitional-era collector cars, and have sold, represented, and curated blue-chip collectibles ranging from the 1930s to the present day.

Our Mission

Sell your car for the most money to the right buyer, simple as that. We represent your vehicle to a large network of qualified buyers before any auction event, placing your car in front of the right eyes at the right time. This includes top online auction platforms like Bring a Trailer, Hagerty, P Car Market, Cars and Bids, and others, as well as premier in-person auctions such as Mecum, RM Sotheby’s, Manheim Highline, Russo and Steele, and more.

Vehicles can also be offered directly to our private Enthusiast Elite Group, depending on what best fits your timeline, pricing goals, and placement needs. We also provide acquisition services. When you are looking to add to your collection, our goal is to find the best and most valuable car for your specific needs.

We pride ourselves on full disclosure and 100 percent transparency. All contracts for sale, commissions, and fees are clear and concise. Every vehicle is represented honestly with no games. Anything we know about a car is shared with both buyer and seller. This includes extensive research, access to manufacturer internal records, Carfax reports, paint meter readings, undercarriage imaging, dry ice blasting, paint correction, secure storage during the selling process, title assistance, and any other services applicable to the vehicle.
