About Us

The origins of Motorsports Market began in 1993 as a boutique service in San Francisco for acquisitions and sales of high end collector cars and racing cars.

During the next several years the business expanded in size and scope, becoming "InvestCar International." This coincided with a move and expansion of operations into downtown Oakland, California.

In 2003, InvestCar expanded yet again, becoming Motorsports Market. The new name reflects the increased types of products and services now provided. We have also increased personnel and facilities to meet the increased demand for our products and services.
