An Accredited Member (AM) of the American Society of Appraisers, Scott has worked with Donald in his appraisal practice since 2015 channeling his years of experience as an automotive professional and collector into his valuation work. Scott also works as a consultant with clients assisting with planning, building and maturing their collections.

Automobiles have played a role in Scott King’s life from a very young age. Between his grandfather’s Cadillacs and the 1965 Mustang pedal car he received for Christmas at age 3, he seemed destined for a life that revolved around cars.

Scott purchased his first car, 1972 Honda N600 at the age of 15—before he was licensed to drive—and which he still owns today. That car and those series of others that followed set the tone for what would be a fascinating life personally and professionally in the automotive world.

From working as an intern at a Porsche-Audi dealer and Honda service department during college, Scott began what would be a 13-year career with American Honda Motor Company. Rising through the service, parts and sales departments, he joined Product Planning where he was involved in the development and launch of several new Honda models.

In 2002, Scott transitioned to the advertising world as Product Information Manager for Acura with Rubin Postaer & Associates, the national advertising agency for Honda and Acura automobiles. The go-to guy for everyone at the agency as well as Honda HQ, he became a walking encyclopedia of everything that was Acura and Honda with his vast experience and product knowledge.

Cars also played a big role in Scott’s personal life, building an eclectic automobile collection including an array of iconic American cars from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s alongside beautiful Italians, a German or two and of course Japanese models that range from Honda earliest and most rare sports cars to the legendary NSX.

Collecting has allowed Scott to experience an amazing cross-section of the automobile’s history and meet fascinating like-minded enthusiasts, at car shows, cruise-in’s, concours, automobile auctions and driving events. He’s passionate about preservation and authenticity and has a keen eye for detail.

Automobiles have been at the center of Brian Sevy’s family for three generations. His grandfather bought and sold used cars out of the family home and his father was a successful independent used car dealer in Detroit, Michigan. Before Brian could legally drive, he was already performing mechanical and body repair. At 12 years old, his first car was a 1974 Oleg Cassini AMC Matador, which he bought with his brother for $175. His dad taught them how to recondition the car and resell it, letting them keep their profit and creating the cornerstone for a career in buying and selling.

Brian has a passion for classic automobiles, personally having owned and restored an eclectic range of classics including a 1962 Oldsmobile F85 Convertible, 1972 Jaguar XKE 2+2 Coupe, multiple Corvettes, Camaros, Trans Ams, Triumphs, and Land Rovers. His passion for automobiles led him to Northwood University where he earned his degree in Automotive Marketing.

After university Brian developed into a leader in automotive retail. Starting as used vehicle buyer for a Mercedes Benz, Honda, Volvo, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi dealership group in Detroit, Brian worked his way up through the pre-owned department to sales manager and ultimately General Manager. He operated award winning Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Honda dealerships for Penske Automotive Group, SONIC Automotive, and privately held dealer groups in the United States and Canada.
Upon relocating to Southern California in 2015, Brian began working with leading designers and celebrity clients, dealing in vintage designer furniture and investing in real estate. These ventures introduced Brian to Donald Osborne. Having appraised thousands of vehicles in his career, Brian was a natural fit to join the team and continue his automotive passion for vehicles of all ages and genres.

Brian is a candidate member of the American Society of Appraisers and completed the ASA Code of Ethics examination as well as passing the ASA Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice course. He brings to our team his exceptional customer service, mechanical ability, and well-trained eye for detail and value.
