Facts Disc
SHARE YOUR VEHICLE'S PERSONALISED TRIVIA
It's time to bring your vehicle's story to life!
Start sharing detailed information about your pride and joy with fellow car or motorbike enthusiasts in a really simple way using our Facts Disc.
Whether you race, rally, participate in events as an exhibitor or simply have your vehicle parked on a high street, there will always be enthusiasts that find themselves stood by your car or bike wishing they could know its background - and that is the exact reason behind our Facts Disc - to let your motor tell its own story.
What is a Facts Disc?
Facts Disc allows passionate vehicle owners, such as yourself, to easily share their motor's personalised trivia, along with images and videos.
For example, you could include your vehicle's specifications or awards, modifications or restoration journey, adventures on the racetrack or road, links to your own website or social pages, hire rates plus availability for film or wedding use. You can even show if your vehicle is for sale.
How does it work?
When you buy our Facts Disc, you will be asked to create a FREE account with us, so that you can access a portal where you will be able to personalise your disc straight away. Our portal is safe and secure. Your personal details or address will never be published on the disc.
The best thing about Facts Disc, is that you can add or edit your vehicle’s story at any time!
It’s ever so quick and easy to do from your smartphone or desktop. The depth and breadth of the information you choose to upload is entirely up to you.
Once you have printed your Facts Disc or received your waterproof version with a disc holder through the post, simply get it displayed on your vehicle’s windscreen in time for your next ride out the garage. Then, any fellow enthusiast, event visitors or passer-by will be able to use their smartphone camera and scan its unique code to view your vehicle’s personalised trivia.
You can also save your Facts Disc unique story link on your smartphone’s internet browser (or as our founder prefers to, in your contacts). It’s just a little trick that makes it easier to share or show your vehicle's story with family or friends from anywhere at anytime like round the coffee table or a pub!
And remember, you only pay for your Facts Disc once. There is no hidden subscription, just one Facts Disc per vehicle, for life. This flexibility enables you to create a living chronicle of your motor’s unique profile, history and even, potentially add value by properly documenting its provenance.
Get started with a single photo
Chose a photo from your phone, laptop or even take a photo from an old printed one and upload it to your Facts Disc - add a little text and you’re up and running in minutes. You can add photos at any time, it’s so simple to get started.
As a little inspiration check out these live Car Facts Discs by two of our customers. If you are viewing this page from a desktop then go ahead and scan their discs with your smartphone camera. Otherwise you can view their stories in the links below.

Here’s a little trick that makes it easier to share or show your vehicle’s Facts Disc story when with family or friends from anywhere at anytime like round the coffee table or a pub.

In our customer’s opinion...
Mark Donoghue, Aston Martin Owners Club - Concours Chief Judge says:
“I just love the ‘Car Facts Disc’ idea. Brilliant”
His 1930 "International" won the Aston Martin Trophy at the Concours of Elegance 2020 at Hampton Court Palace.
We're proud to have displayed our Car Facts Disc on a winning car at an event described as "Perhaps the greatest ever gathering of collector cars in the UK".
Steve Waddingham, The Aston Martin Factory Historian thinks:
"The days of the A4 sheets of paper on the windscreen might be over"
We have recently bumped into Steve and his 1975 Austin Allegro 1100 De Luxe at the Le Mans Classic with our Car Facts Disc neatly on display for foreign enthusiasts to enjoy his vehicle’s unique story.
Shawn Sherrill and John Meyer, Hosts of the Get Out N Drive Podcast note:
"The Car Facts Disc seamlessly blends the old school picture book and show board you’d carry around to shows with today’s digital technology. It’s user friendly, both to set up and for anyone to scan and see everything you NEVER wanted to know about your car. We think this is a must have item for any car enthusiast who likes to get out n drive!"
