Peter Grant, founder of Halo
A letter from the founder
“I see the right cars as works of art… Those cars deserve a record as careful as the one we keep for paintings.”

Peter Grant grew up in his grandfather’s garage, raced his own Big Healey at Castle Combe and put 22,000 miles on his first exotic, a Ferrari Challenge Stradale, in 18 months. He built Halo so collectors can see what their cars are worth, from what cars actually sold for.

Know what your cars are worth, and why.

Add a car and Halo values it as a range, from the comparable sales behind it. Every figure links to those sales.

  • A value range with its confidence, updated as new sales land.
  • Documents read for you: titles, invoices, service records.
  • Insurance renewals, appraisals and service items, flagged ahead of their due dates.
  • Visible only to you and the people you invite.

03 · The private market

Seen by the right buyers. Known to none of them.

Many of the most important cars never reach a public listing. Halo lets you show one to vetted buyers as an anonymous card: the car, its condition, its Halo value. Your name, chassis number and location stay with you.

  • Every buyer and dealer is vetted by Halo before they see a card.
  • Negotiate in an anonymous room. Contact details stay blocked until you both agree.
  • Set a floor. Offers below it never reach you.
