Every receipt, stamp, and photograph in one permanent timeline.

A vehicle record is any document, photograph, or note that captures a moment in your vehicle's life. This includes service receipts, inspection reports, modification invoices, insurance valuations, photographs of damage or restoration progress, and handwritten notes about decisions you made. The value of a record is not in the document itself but in the timeline it creates when joined with every other record.

Keep everything that tells the story: oil change receipts, brake pad invoices, tyre replacement records, MOT or inspection certificates, insurance valuations, restoration photographs, paint work documentation, and any correspondence with specialists or dealers. The most valuable records are often the smallest — a handwritten note about a carburetor adjustment in 1985 can be the detail that proves originality.

AUTODYSSEY organises records chronologically by default, with each entry tied to the date it was created and the vehicle it belongs to. You can also tag records by category — Maintenance, Inspection, Modification, Restoration, Insurance, or Provenance — and add custom keywords for easy searching. The system is designed so that every record finds its place without manual filing.

Use the search bar in your Garage or Vault to filter by date, category, keyword, or vehicle. Every record is indexed by its title, description, tags, and the text extracted from uploaded documents. You can also browse by timeline, viewing all records for a specific vehicle in chronological order. The search is designed to work even if you only remember a fragment of the detail you are looking for.

The most valuable cars in the world are the ones with paperwork that traces back to the factory. A complete service history proves the car was cared for. A build sheet proves the original specification. A chain of ownership documents proves the provenance. Collectors, insurers, and auction houses all pay a premium for vehicles with documented histories, and the gap between a well-documented car and a mystery car can run into six figures.

Photograph everything. The photograph you take of a corroded undertray today might be the only evidence of original condition in twenty years. Photograph before, during, and after every piece of work. Photograph the engine bay, the interior, the underside, and the details that nobody notices. The cost of storage is zero; the value of a missing photograph is impossible to calculate.
