O’KANE LAVERS Here’s to 2022 by James O’Kane

aving founded O’Kane Lavers in 2019 I was delighted to have had a very successful first year, growing our client base and handling some amazing cars. In 2020, despite the unprecedented challenges we were all faced with due to the pandemic, it was an extremely busy and productive year for O’Kane Lavers, having firmly established itself as a hub for motor car collectors from around the world. 2021 was busier than ever and we were fortunate to handle the sales of some unique and extremely high profile cars. Finding new homes for such amazing cars is always an absolute pleasure and working with our wonderful loyal clients

is just amazing. Having spent hundreds of hours on the road in the UK, it was fantastic to be able to travel again. Several visits to Europe covering over 7,000 miles taking in The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Italy, Monaco, Switzerland, Germany, Slovenia and Austria. It was an absolute pleasure to catch up with old clients, now friends, and finally being able to meet new clients in person, though thank goodness for Zoom! This year has been equally busy and it has been wonderful to travel to the US to get together with old and new clients in person. 2022 is quickly becoming the year to travel again, and plans are already in place for several visits to the US and Europe, plus I am looking forward to
being able to travel further afield to visit our Australasia clients. Every year it is a privilege to attend the numerous car events and I am sure that this year’s Concourses will be a highlight of the calendar. Overall as I look to the future I am, as ever, most excited about encountering the world’s rarest and most exquisite cars and meeting more fabulous collectors. O’Kane Lavers experience and expertise is broad and varied, this enables us to offer a tailored service to experienced and aspiring collectors alike. We offer an exceptional service where discretion and transparency are paramount. James O’Kane
