Tell us your story

The three questions

It all starts here. You don't need to write a lot or write beautifully: tell it the way you would tell a friend.

1. What is your story with this car?
2. Where did your passion or love for the car come from?
3. What would you tell someone who dreams of owning something like it?

Details that help

Every story in the Archive comes with a fact sheet like this one. If you have these details handy, include them; if not, that's fine.

Car

Year, make and model

Together since

The year it came into your life

City

Where it lives and drives

Mileage

An estimate is fine

What makes it unique

A detail, a part, an anecdote

About photos

You don't need to send photos in the form. If your story fits the Archive, we will write to ask for them or to set up a shoot. In the meantime, this helps:

• Old photos, if you have them: the day it arrived, a trip, the workshop. They are often the most valuable part.
• The best quality you have, without filters or watermarks.
• Natural light and the whole car, plus a few details that matter to you.

Your privacy

• We never publish license plates or faces without your permission.
• You decide how you appear: with your full name, first name only or no name.
• We never share your contact details with anyone.
• Before publishing, we confirm the details of your story with you.

What happens next?

1. We read every story we receive.
2. If it fits the Archive, we write to you to learn more.
3. Together we decide how to tell it: with your photos, a shoot or video.

Not every story is published right away, but every one helps us understand what a car means to the person who drives it.
