Commission intent

Define the kind of conversation you need.

Primary commission intent

Select one option.

Complete commissionA connected body, mechanical, cabin and material brief developed as one system.Preservation-led restorationBegin with evidence and retain sound identity wherever possible.Technical rebuildPrioritise connected mechanical, structural and serviceability questions.Cabin and material directionStudy ergonomics, touch, trim and a coherent material language.Body and finish programmeConcentrate on structure, surface, proportion, paint and final fit.Exploratory conversationOrganise an early idea before vehicle, scope or direction is fully resolved.

Starting vehicle

Describe the vehicle and what is currently known.

Vehicle ownership or sourcing status

Select one option.

Vehicle already ownedThe starting vehicle exists and can be described now.Vehicle is being sourcedA model direction exists, but the individual car is not secured.Vehicle not sourced yetUse requirements and constraints to define a future search brief.

Known vehicle condition

Select one option.

Running and completeThe vehicle is broadly complete and currently mobile.Running but requiring workThe vehicle runs, while known systems or finishes need assessment.Non-runningThe vehicle cannot currently be driven and needs structured inspection.Partially disassembledComponents have already been removed and documentation quality must be reviewed.Unknown or not yet inspectedNo reliable condition assessment is available yet.Vehicle not sourced yetCondition will depend on a future sourcing decision.

Transport possibility

Select one option.

Transport can be arrangedVehicle movement appears possible, subject to later practical review.Transport needs discussionLocation or condition creates open logistics questions.Not known yetNo transport assumption should be made at this stage.Not applicable yetUse this while a vehicle has not been sourced.

Direction

Use an existing VANTA study as a conversation tool or remain open.

Design direction

Select one option.

Black IndexA restrained 964 study balancing mechanical immediacy with a quieter, long-distance cabin.Focused road use and unhurried distanceOpen dossier in a new tab

Silver ArcA careful return to proportion, surface and detail without manufacturing a history the car never had.Elegant open-road grand touringOpen dossier in a new tab

Neue LinieAn elegant grand tourer refined around steering clarity, long-range comfort and discreet material contrast.Active grand touring across long daysOpen dossier in a new tab

Long RangeUtility retained, weak points reconsidered and the cabin resolved for distance rather than display.Extended travel, practical work and simple serviceOpen dossier in a new tab

Custom directionBuild a direction from first principles around use, condition and constraints.Individually defined use

Not decided yetKeep direction open until discussion and inspection.To be defined

Scope

Select every system that may need assessment.

Potential scope

Select every relevant option.

Body and paintSurface condition, proportion, preparation, colour and final fit.Structural and chassis workLoad paths, floors, sills, mounting points and structural integrity.Suspension and brakesRoad behaviour, control, braking confidence and service access.Powertrain and drivelineResponse, thermal needs, durability and connected driveline decisions.Electrical systemsWiring condition, distribution, reliability and maintainable routing.Cabin and trimErgonomics, seating, controls, trim condition and tactile continuity.Materials and finishesA coherent relationship between paint, textile, leather, metal and timber.Documentation and inspectionEvidence capture, condition mapping and decision records before intervention.Sourcing and project definitionTranslate intended use into a disciplined vehicle and scope search.

Use and priorities

Describe how the car should live and what should guide decisions.

Planned use

Select every relevant option.

Road touringCalm, engaged travel on varied public roads.Regular daily useFrequent operation with predictable controls and practical care.Occasional weekend useIntermittent use where readiness and emotional clarity both matter.Long-distance travelExtended journeys with comfort, range and serviceability in balance.Mixed-surface travelPredictable use across changing roads without adventure theatre.Collection and preservationLow-frequency use led by condition, originality and careful stewardship.Not decided yetKeep use open while the starting vehicle and constraints are assessed.

Constraints

Set boundaries without inventing price or programme promises.

Approach to originality

Select one option.

Preserve wherever possibleExisting sound material and identity lead the brief.Reversible improvementsPrefer interventions that can be reconsidered later.Balanced reinterpretationBalance preservation with carefully justified contemporary use.Open to substantial changesConsider deeper changes while keeping the base vehicle legible.UndecidedLet inspection and intended use establish the boundary.

Desired timing horizon

Select one option.

Exploratory onlyNo programme assumption is being made.No fixed deadlineQuality of definition matters more than a target date.Within 12 monthsA desired horizon for discussion, not a delivery promise.12–24 monthsA broad planning preference subject to assessment.More than 24 monthsA long-horizon project definition without reserved capacity.

Budget readiness

Select one option.

Not definedNo budget framework exists yet and no price is generated here.Early researchThe relationship between scope and resources is still being studied.Budget framework availableA private framework exists for a later direct scoping conversation.Ready for detailed scopingThe project is ready for evidence-led definition, not an automated quote.
