Historic Motorsport · Provenance Intelligence
Legacy Metrics is the definitive provenance record for historic and collector motorsport vehicles — bringing together ownership chain, competition history, and mechanical record into a single verified Vehicle Passport, trusted by owners, workshops, insurers, and auction houses.
The Ecosystem
Legacy Metrics sits at the centre of the historic motorsport world. Every party interacts with the platform differently — but all benefit from the same trusted, verified record.
Ownership
Any chassis in the Legacy Metrics database can be searched publicly. Registering it links your identity to the record and unlocks your full Vehicle Passport.
Search the Registry
Register Ownership
Upload a document showing both your name and the chassis number. Accepted documents include:
Manual verification
Every document is reviewed by a member of the Legacy Metrics team, by hand. Once approved, your chassis is linked to your account and your Vehicle Passport is unlocked. All further entries become private from this point.
Data Model
Historic public record — chassis identity, known competition history, period ownership — is visible to anyone. Everything added after registration is private to the owner.
Workshops
Owners can authorise their workshop or race preparer to contribute directly to the vehicle record. Simply search for your workshop from within your account, send an authorisation, and they gain access limited strictly to the vehicles you specify — revocable at any time.
The workshop uploads their invoice, report, or race entry — nothing more. Our document intelligence engine reads each file, extracts the key information, and adds a plain-English summary to the passport automatically. Every entry is timestamped, attributed, and stored in full. You can review, approve, or remove any contribution at any time.
Benefits
Record
Your car's story, preserved
A permanent, structured record of everything that has happened to your vehicle — held securely and accessible whenever you need it, for however long you own the car.
Valuation
Evidence at point of sale
A verified Legacy Metrics passport gives buyers certainty. At the values historic racing cars command, documented provenance directly supports the asking price.
Insurance
Accurate, defensible coverage
Share your vehicle's scored record with your insurer to support accurate valuation — grounded in verified evidence, not owner estimate.
Revenue
A new service line
Offer Legacy Metrics passport creation and maintenance as part of your service. A tangible, valued addition — and a meaningful differentiator in a competitive market.
Legacy
Your work, on the record
Every service, rebuild, or preparation is formally logged against the vehicle — with your workshop named. Your craftsmanship becomes part of the car’s permanent history.
Relationships
Custodian, not just mechanic
Helping a client build a verified record positions your workshop as custodian of their car's story — a relationship that extends well beyond any individual job.
Intelligence
Vehicle-level data
Move beyond aggregate market valuations. Every passport provides vehicle-specific provenance — ownership chain, competition history, condition record — structured and scored.
Risk
Scored, not estimated
A Provenance Score and Risk Score for every vehicle — generated from verified data, not owner declaration. Comparable across policies and updatable at renewal.
Renewal
A live, improving record
As data is added over time, the vehicle's risk profile sharpens. Each renewal cycle is grounded in more evidence than the last — reducing exposure for insurer and client alike.
Due Diligence
Verified before catalogue
A structured, independently verified provenance record reduces the time and cost of due diligence on consigned vehicles — and supports catalogue accuracy from the outset.
Results
Confidence drives bids
Lots with a verified Legacy Metrics record carry a clear provenance signal. Documented history reduces buyer hesitation and supports stronger hammer prices.
Integrity
Independent, not vendor-assembled
The record is not prepared by the seller. It is built from verified documents and third-party contributions — making it a meaningful, independent endorsement of a vehicle's history.
Security
The vehicles on this platform are among the most valuable in private hands. Database security is a founding requirement — not an afterthought.
Encrypted at rest and in transit
All data — records, documents, personal information — is encrypted using industry-standard protocols in both storage and transmission.
Strict access control
Each user sees only their own data. Workshop permissions are owner-controlled and granular. No user can access another owner’s private record.
No sharing without consent
Private records are never shared with any third party without the explicit, revocable consent of the vehicle owner. Consent is logged and timestamped.
