His hands-on involvement gives both Sellers and Buyers confidence in the information provided and in every stage of the auction process.
His career includes extensive experience in dealership management and specialist vehicle sales across European, Australian and Japanese marques.

A lifelong enthusiast and collector, Daniel believes every vehicle has a story worth understanding, documenting and preserving. From researching factory specifications and ownership history to identifying the unique attributes that distinguish one vehicle from another, he considers detailed product knowledge essential to achieving the best possible result for both Sellers and Buyers.
This philosophy forms the foundation of Chicane Auctions.
