Automotive Researcher – Historic & Collector Cars Location: Berkshire Job Type: Permanent | Full-Time | On-site Sector: Automotive | Research | Historic Vehicles | Luxury Automotive Are you passionate about historic and collector cars? Do you enjoy researching the story behind a vehicle – its history, ownership, specification and provenance? Would you like to turn that interest into a career? We're recruiting an Automotive Researcher for a highly respected specialist automotive business based in Berkshire. The company works with an international client base of collectors, enthusiasts and Ultra High Net Worth individuals , supporting some genuinely exceptional and historically significant vehicles. This is an unusual opportunity for someone who combines a real passion for automotive history with the patience and attention to detail of a great researcher . The Role At its heart, your job is to uncover and document the story behind each vehicle. You'll research history, provenance, specification and ownership , bringing together information from multiple sources and ensuring records are accurate, complete and properly maintained. Research sits alongside responsibility for wider vehicle documentation and supporting the Client Experience team. What You'll Be Doing Research and document the history, provenance, ownership and specification of significant historic vehicles. Review existing information, investigate inconsistencies and track down missing documentation. Maintain accurate vehicle records covering identity, registration, valuation and supporting information. Liaise with clients, suppliers and specialists to gather information and coordinate documentation. Support vehicle projects involving restoration, storage, purchase, sale, transportation and international movements. Who We're Looking For We're deliberately keeping the background relatively open. You might already work with historic vehicles, automotive research, archives, museums, auction houses or collector cars . Equally, you could come from research, administration, logistics or another detail-critical environment and have a serious personal interest in automotive history. We'd Like to See A genuine interest in historic, classic or collector cars – this is important. Strong research skills and a natural curiosity for understanding the detail behind a subject. Excellent organisation and attention to detail, particularly when handling complex records. Strong written and verbal communication skills and confidence using databases/CRM systems. Discretion and professionalism when dealing with confidential client, vehicle and commercial information. Experience with vehicle documentation, import/export, customs or international logistics would be useful, but isn't essential.

Employee wellbeing programme and private remote GP. Regular team socials and access to on-site leisure and fitness facilities. A working environment that's rather different from the average office – particularly if you love cars. Interested? You don't need to know the history of every important car ever produced. But you should be the sort of person who wants to find out . If you're naturally curious, meticulous with detail and genuinely passionate about historic cars, apply today for a confidential discussion . TPBN1_UKTJ
