A licensed customs broker, Grove has a US$15 mil insurance policy on all of her trucks — it's been the key to winning those auction house clients who can't find another provider to promise total coverage in the event of an accident.

Vivacious, with Joan Jett hair and an Instagram-perfect smile, it's not surprising that Grove, 62, wanted to be a rock star growing up. It's more of a thrill to hear her deal with the daily challenges of moving millions of dollars' worth of vehicular legend. Under wraps, for those eagle-eyed enough to recognise their shape: a US$31 million Ferrari, a US$10 million Jaguar D-Type, a few US$13 million Zagatos, a US$35 million Alfa Romeo, and a US$2 million Koenigsegg Regera, among others.
To move a Bizzarrini from London to Carmel can run US$40,000, because it'll need to be inside its own wooden crate. It can cost as much as US$67,000 to air freight, say, a Ferrari F40 into LA from Hong Kong — to be sure, the far-flung distance and special cargo-box air freight command a high sum, but it's just a fraction of its US$1.6 million overall value.
Size matters. Twenty-foot containers are standard for most collectible cars, though one private customer requested a more expensive 40-foot container to house his tiny Porsche Speedster alone. It also matters whether the car can be driven or must be rolled onboard.
