For more than seven years, I have been active in the collector car segment – starting with the founding of a classic car club in Hamburg for young enthusiasts. Even then, I was able to establish valuable contacts and build partnerships that remain strong to this day, such as with OCC Insurance and the auction platform Kickdown, both of which are closely connected with my company, Collective Motion. After my time at Finexity, where I helped build the vehicle and watch investment division in Germany using blockchain structures, I founded Collective Motion GmbH in February 2024. Today, a year and a half later, I am one of the leading suppliers of investment vehicles in Europe, having successfully completed around 50 projects with the most important tangible asset platforms – including Timeless Investments.In addition, I have made it my mission to bring the world of classic cars closer to a new generation of collectors and investors. To achieve this, I run my own YouTube channel and social media formats that continuously build reach and visibility. My strength lies in discreetly and strategically placing high-caliber vehicles. I work with powerful visuals, targeted storytelling, and an exclusive network of investors, collectors, and experts – ensuring that the right buyer is found without overexposing a car.
Why I might be the right partner for your vehicle sale:
Leading supplier of investment vehicles for Europe’s top platforms,
Over 50 successfully completed projects with rare classics,
Excellent network within the finance and collector community,
Dynamic, modern marketing approach with proven success, I live for exceptional vehicles.
Placing them in the right environment is not just an assignment for me, but a special responsibility – one that I take on with passion, discretion, and the utmost care. Above all, it’s something I truly enjoy!
We are moving towards a market where the classic purpose of a vehicle for mobility is less important and the idea of the car as Art on wheels is becoming increasingly relevant for this. The concept of modern mobility will change over the next few years. Mobility services, such as car sharing, are becoming increasingly popular. Trains and other means of public transport should become more attractive.
This means that private transport as we know it will decrease.
That doesn't mean that classic cars are standing in the way of the mobility revolution.
Instead, steps must be taken to ensure that society can preserve this important part of our industrial history and culture. Exciting times are ahead of us! Times of change and upheaval. The role of cars in all of our lives is changing.
With the end of the internal combustion engine in sight, buyers have a new perspective on the automobile. They look at vehicles in the context of automotive history and look for special models that will remain relevant in the future. Collective Motion positions itself as an intermediary between enthusiasts and brings the market closer to a new generation that values individuality.
The information about vehicles is often incomprehensible to the younger generation, although there is interest. Through YouTube videos about lifestyle, market and technology as well as a supporting infrastructure, we offer younger buyers the knowledge they need to enter the market safely. Driving a classic car is not complicated, but predictable and sustainable.
Our network, our presence on YouTube, the founding of a classic car association and our team's many years of experience in the real asset investment sector make us unique. We are very familiar with vehicle due diligence and make our purchase decisions based on comprehensive data analyses of market and price developments as well as technical reports. We don't sell cars, but offer a mix of lifestyle and investment products. The focus is on transparency and fun — in the best case, even at a profit. For private individuals, buying a car at a profit is even tax-free after a year of speculation.
What do you imagine a car collector to be? An old man in a sweater vest and racing gloves? clichés. Clichés that have changed significantly in recent years. The new players are young, modern, stylish, dynamic and have a passion for vintage and design classics.
They grew up almost exclusively digitally and started looking for investments early on. They're looking for freedom. They are individualists and they want to express themselves. As a result, the market for collectibles (classic cars, vintage watches, art, design classics) has experienced a real boom and has adapted significantly accordingly.
Since February 2024, #Timeless has been collaborating with #CollectiveMotion to establish a robust, long-term strategy for sourcing, managing, and selling rare vehicles. This partnership has already led to the successful tokenization of 12 valuable classic cars on our platform.
Collective Motion, led by William Groth—an industry veteran with over 10 years of experience—brings unparalleled expertise in classic car curation, sales, and secure storage. William's passion for automobiles extends beyond business; as the founder of an Oldtimer club in Hamburg and a dedicated YouTuber sharing insights on classic cars, he has built deep connections across the industry. His partnerships with key auction platforms like Kickdown and renowned insurance providers such as OCC further strengthen our joint capabilities.
This partnership allows Timeless to elevate our offerings in the classic car investment space, combining expertise, quality, and passion to benefit our investor community. A heartfelt thank you to William Groth and the Collective Motion team for their dedication and partnership. Here’s to a future filled with exceptional vehicles and shared success!
“Working with William Groth and Collective Motion GmbH is a real asset for us at OCC, not only professionally but also personally. Since 2020, we have been working together to create formats that get young target groups excited about the topic of classic vehicles — starting with our digital trade fair Classics to Click with Det Müller, to authentic social media content on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, to the film accompaniment of our OCC coastal trophy.
“I not only have many years of cooperation with William and Collective Motion GmbH, but also a genuine shared passion for classic vehicles and a friendship. Since 2020, we have implemented numerous content projects that convey the spirit of our platform in a unique way — authentic, high-quality and with a clear sense of storytelling.
We are also happy to work together at events and hold regular events on the Collective Motion areas! I am particularly pleased that he is now an active part of the kickdown community himself: He has purchased six vehicles via our platform, including two extremely rare 190 E Evo 1. This shows not only his expertise, but also his genuine commitment to the scene. I'm looking forward to everything that's yet to come. ”

The classic car market is facing an exciting future, characterized by technological innovations and social changes. With the imminent end of the internal combustion engine and the increasing importance of sustainable mobility, classic vehicles continue to gain in value as cultural and historical artifacts. Electrical modifications and sustainable restoration methods open up new opportunities to combine the fascination for classic cars with modern environmental standards.

Online platforms, virtual auctions and social media make it possible to create a global community and facilitate access to rare and valuable vehicles. The younger generation, which grew up with digital technologies, is showing growing interest in classic cars as investment objects and lifestyle symbols.
In addition, the market will continue to grow through stronger networking and the exchange of knowledge and resources. Initiatives to preserve and care for classic cars will gain in importance, supported by specialized workshops and restoration companies.
Overall, the future of the classic car market offers numerous opportunities for collectors, investors and enthusiasts. The combination of tradition and innovation will further invigorate the market and ensure the relevance of classic vehicles in a changing world.
