CURATED INVESTMENT AUTOMOBILE FUND

What CURATED INVESTMENT AUTOMOBILE FUND does

Curated Investment Automobile Fund is a privately held, Miami-based vintage supercar dealership founded in 2015 by John Temerian (CEO) and Jordi Ricart (co-founder). The company specializes in sourcing, authenticating, selling, and restoring limited-production European supercars from the 1970s through the early 2000s, with a stated focus on Ferrari and Lamborghini models. Since inception it reports procuring more than 750 vehicles, and it positions itself as a team of automotive historians rather than a conventional reseller, with provenance verification, Carfax reports, and historical records featured on every listing.

The core offering is a curated, quote-priced vehicle inventory transacted through a high-touch, sales-led go-to-market: vehicles are listed online and prospective buyers submit inquiries, after which the team arranges in-depth consultations, case-by-case test drives and viewings, and select international shipments. Supporting service lines include trade-in evaluations, authentication and provenance verification, and tailored restoration work executed via Italian specialists Cremonini Classic (bodywork and paint) and Zanasi (interior). The firm operates a content layer ("The Journal") covering vehicle spotlights and market trends and runs an early-access email newsletter and active social channels (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn).

Monetization is dominated by one-off vehicle sales with six- to seven-figure transaction values, complemented by restoration projects (referenced at $50,000 to over $150,000 each) and ancillary services. The client base consists of high-net-worth vintage supercar collectors; named clients include former Formula 1 driver Eddie Irvine, Dennis Crowley (with multi-vehicle ongoing projects), Fred C., and Doug Cohen. Industry recognition includes Platinum Awards at Cavallino Classic (2022, 2024, 2025), multiple Best in Class honors at Amelia Island and Greenwich Concours, and Lamborghini/Preservation class recognition at Pebble Beach in 2023. No revenue, valuation, or headcount trends are publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Vehicle Sales (Primary): Curated generates primary revenue by buying and selling rare, historically significant vintage and modern European supercars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, and related limited-production icons). The business maintains a curated inventory and connects sellers with collectors. Individual transaction values are extremely high (six to seven figures per vehicle).
2. Trade-in Evaluations: The company accepts trade-ins on many vehicles, applying the trade-in value toward a purchase. This supports the core sales transaction and facilitates vehicle upgrading.
3. Restoration Services: Curated provides tailored restoration services, including full restorations, preservation work, and consulting on restoration decisions. These services are offered as a complement to vehicle sales and support client stewardship of their vehicles.
