Meet the Founders
Motor Kiwi was established in early 2023 by Amy and Henri, a driven couple with a shared passion for the motor trade.
Amy, raised on a Yorkshire farm, developed an early affinity for the automotive industry, particularly luxury cars and motorbikes. With over six years of experience in sales, marketing, and photography, she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the business.
Henri, the born Kiwi, has always had a passion for anything with wheels. He has four years of experience in digital marketing and photography. Together, they have combined their skills and enthusiasm to create Motor Kiwi.
At Motor Kiwi, we pride ourselves on providing a personalised service for anyone looking to sell their motor vehicle easily and efficiently. Whether it's agricultural equipment, a cherished luxury car, or a motorbike, Motor Kiwi offers a seamless and secure process to ensure your vehicle is sold quickly and safely.

Motor Kiwi makes selling your vehicle easy.
We aim to get you the best competitive price for your vehicle. First up, you'll fill out our online form to give us some details about your vehicle, it takes less than two minutes and it's about as much as you will need to do!
​
After, you'll send us some photos of your vehicle and we will get you a price based on these images and our experience. We do this for each individual vehicle, meaning you get a fair price, and there are no surprises later. We don't use online quotes like other places, making our service more personal and trustworthy.
​
We will then organise to photograph and video your vehicle ready to advertise. You can either come to us, or we head out to you!
We will handle everything for you, making it stress-free and easy.
​
Once we have some interested buyers, we will organise a time and date for you to show them around the vehicle and once they are happy, we help you organise the sale.
