"Fifteen years of relationships with the world's most exceptional specialist builders. We know who is good, who is exceptional, and who you should avoid."
Whatever you want to commission, we know who builds it best. We source the right builder, manage the process, and deliver your car to your door in the U.S. You deal with one person throughout.
"I know what I want. I don't know who builds it, how to commission it, or how to get it into the country without the process becoming a full-time job."
That's the conversation we have most often. Serious collectors who have the means, the taste, and a clear idea of what they're after — but no trusted U.S.-based partner who knows the specialist market inside out and can make it happen cleanly.
That's what Humble House is. We have deep relationships with the finest specialist builders in the world across every category. We know their capabilities, their lead times, their quality, and their pricing. And we've done this enough times to know how to get a bespoke vehicle from a workshop in Europe to your garage in the U.S. without drama.
"Fifteen years of relationships with the world's most exceptional specialist builders. We know who is good, who is exceptional, and who you should avoid."
From the initial conversation about what you want to build, through to the moment your car arrives at your door — we manage every step.
Tell us what you want — the car, the era, the feel, the performance brief. We identify the builders who do it best, anywhere in the world, and give you an honest view of who is right for your commission and why. We only recommend builders we know personally and trust completely.
At our Orlando design centre, we work through your full specification with you — colour, materials, mechanical configuration, performance setup, interior. We know each builder's capabilities in detail, so we know exactly what's possible and how to push the brief intelligently.
Once your build begins, we maintain an active relationship with the workshop. We attend key milestones, review quality, send you photography and updates, and ensure your specification is being followed precisely. If anything needs addressing, we address it — before it becomes a problem.
We handle every aspect of getting your car from the builder's workshop to U.S. soil. Specialist enclosed shipping, marine insurance, port clearance, and import coordination — all managed and overseen by us. We use carriers who understand the value and rarity of what they're moving.
Getting a bespoke classic correctly titled and registered in your state requires specific knowledge. We handle the documentation, state-specific requirements, and collector vehicle registration where applicable. Your car arrives road-legal, correctly titled in your name, ready to drive.
Your car is delivered enclosed to your home or storage facility by specialists in precious vehicle logistics. We coordinate every detail — transport scheduling, insurance, handover documentation. We are present at every stage, from the workshop in Europe to your front door in the U.S.
We work across every discipline of specialist and bespoke automotive commissioning. If the finest builders in the world produce it, we can source it, manage it, and deliver it to you in the U.S.

Something Else
Tell us what you're looking forThe specialist market is broader and deeper than any list. If you have a specific car in mind — a marque, an era, a character — tell us. Fifteen years of relationships in this market means we almost certainly know who builds what you're imagining, and how to make it happen.
We carry the complexity so you don't have to. Your role is to tell us what you want and make decisions when we need you to. Everything else is ours to manage.
A conversation — no obligation. Tell us the car, the era, the feel, the performance level, and the budget. The more detail you give us, the better the builder match will be.
We come back with our recommendation — who builds it best, why we trust them, what their lead times are, and a realistic all-in price to your door in the U.S. No surprises, no hidden costs.
At our design centre in Orlando, we work through the full specification with you. Every decision is yours, guided by our knowledge of what's possible and what works well.
Build liaison, progress updates, quality reviews, shipping, import, title and registration. Every step managed by us. Your car arrives at your door, correctly titled, ready to drive.
"The same person who sits with you at the design centre in Orlando will see your car through to your door."
We will tell you honestly which builders we recommend and why. We will also tell you which ones we don't recommend, and why. Our reputation depends on the quality of what we deliver — not on what earns us the best margin.
Before anything moves, you will know the full cost to your door in the U.S. Donor car or base vehicle, build, shipping, import, and our fee — all in one number. No exchange rate exposure, no surprise fees at the port.
You deal with one person throughout. Not a different account manager at each stage, not a call centre, not a ticketing system. The same Humble House contact from the first conversation to the handover of your car.
We do not place your order and disappear. We maintain an active relationship with the builder throughout the commission — attending milestones, reviewing quality, and keeping you informed with photography and updates.
We understand that serious collectors value privacy. We do not discuss our clients, their commissions, or their collections with anyone. Your name, your build, and your budget remain entirely confidential.
The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Tell us what you're thinking. We'll tell you what we know, what's possible, and whether we can help. Straightforwardly, without pressure.
Whether you have a specific car in mind or just a sense of what you want, start the conversation. We'll come back to you within 48 hours with an honest view of what's possible, who builds it best, and what it will cost to your door.
