Handover dossier
Every delivery — whether a factory-fresh new vehicle or a vetted classic — concludes with a complete dossier of papers, keys and certificates. The list below shows exactly what changes hands at signing.
For new vehicles ordered through our manufacturer channels, the dossier is prepared by the producing plant and verified by us before handover.

How the handover works
We schedule a personal appointment at our showroom in Kiel or — for international deliveries — at the agreed destination. Together we walk through the vehicle, verify each item against the dossier, sign the handover protocol and transfer the keys. A digital copy of every document is stored in your client portal afterwards.
If your registration authority, leasing company or insurer requires a paper we have not listed, contact us before the handover and we will obtain it.
