Carbon offset
Asset class cars were built to exacting standards – and deserve exacting care. Our dehumidified facility perfectly maintains 55% relative humidity – the optimum environment for all collector cars. And our 12-step induction process ensures every car stored with Racing Green is cared for perfectly, whether arriving for the first time or returning to our dehumidified environment.
Before any car is stored with us, we inspect it throughout, record its condition, perform a thorough snow-foam valet and then dry it using our contactless blower. Then the tyres are correctly inflated, fluid levels are checked and noted, and final photography is recorded. Only then does your collector car enter our facility, where it is fitted with a smart battery cover and Racing Green branded soft-stretch car cover – sized to your specific vehicle.
We perform daily monitoring and weekly checks, and present your collector car on-the-button for the next time you want to take to the road, or have it transported to a concours event.
We believe we have a responsibility to the environment. It’s why our facility is solar powered, and why we have harvested rainwater. But that’s not all…
Racing Green offsets the carbon emissions of every vehicle placed in our care. It means each car’s carbon footprint is effectively balanced, helping safeguard our hobby for the future.
Our partnership with Tree-V is structured around UK-based tree-planting sustainability initiatives.
Every Racing Green client receives a certificate confirming their car has been carbon balanced, and a peelable window vignette.
“The team at Racing Green have done a first-class job of caring for my widely varied collection of cars, taking care of vehicle transport, providing thorough reports and feedback and always being available for out-of-hours enquiries or visits.”
“After an eight-year restoration, I was nervous about collecting and transporting my 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 MKI ‘Lightweight’, but Oliver and James were the utmost professionals, meeting me off the ferry at 6am, getting the car safely home and being super company along the way!”
“You guys make everything so easy. Like when I asked at admittedly short notice for my McLaren 570S to be made ready for a last-minute trip to Le Mans, for the 24-hour race and it was turned around in less than half a day.”

The founders are Oliver Hagger and James Mills, a collector and motoring journalist respectively – and car enthusiasts through and through.
For the past three decades, Oliver successfully sailed through the shipbroking industry, co-founding his own brokerage in 2002 and retiring from the global trade in 2022. Over that time, he has enjoyed owning and racing interesting cars in all shapes and sizes.
During the same period, James was an editor for the likes of Top Gear, The Sunday Times Driving, Auto Express and Hagerty. This period provided deep insight into the world of specialist, enthusiast and collector vehicles.
