Dad's expertise, coupled with the enthusiasm of the rest of the family, have enabled the business to grow, until now there are 60 - 80 English and European classics available in Derbyshire and 150 more in the yard in Ramona, San Diego County, awaiting shipment.
These cover a wide range, including American classics, muscle cars and trucks from the 1920's through to the 1990's. Almost all of these are offered in "as found" condition, catering for the enthusiast who wants to be able to see exactly what he is buying and do the necessary restoration himself. However, if a customer wishes, we can organize mechanical work and body restoration as required.

We also have a parts division, lots of "hard to find" parts for English, American and European classic cars and trucks. If we don't have the parts you require on stock, a phone call or fax to the San Diego office gets the piece sourced and shipped back to the UK.
Many trade restorers take advantage of this and the availability of truly rust free body-shells, which enables a restoration project to be completed with a genuine rust free shell, instead of a reproduction body. The average price of a 1970 MGB chrome bumper rust free shell is £1,500.

An ever- growing side of the business is sourcing and buying specific vehicles for customers. Unlike most people doing this who rely through necessity on agents and trade suppliers in the U.S.A. we have a permanent presence there. As a result, one of the recent finds was a 1930's Model A Ford and a 1960's Austin Healey 3000 BJ8. A, TR3A in need of full restoration, complete with a possum sitting under the bonnet!

As well as the regular finds such as MG, Jaguar, Fiat or Alfas, the car of your dreams can be found, inspected and assessed by an expert. The details are then relayed to the prospective buyer who then knows exactly what he is getting for his money, without the expense of flying 12,000 miles and attempting to find what he wants in a few short weeks of holiday.

Our 45 ft. containers are loaded in San Diego, once they have cleared Customs in the UK they are transported to Derbyshire where you can collect your car, or we can deliver to your door on our Ford F350 Tow Truck.
