Buying advice

“It’s absolutely immaculate on every level, I don’t think I’ve seen a car of that age in such fine condition. Nobody does it better than Retro, quality of vehicle’s, world class service and a fantastic family. We will be back for a Camaro in the future!”

Dave Hodgson Jnr & Snr

“I’ve recently bought a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingray 350 V8 L46 Manual from Retro Classic Car. This is my first experience of dealing with the father & Son (Adrian & Sam). Absolutely lovely people to deal with, nothing is too much trouble, they have lots of knowledge & extremely honest. I would highly recommend Retro Classic Car. The only place I would ever go to know.”

Simon Cope

“We bought a Pontiac Firebird convertible from Adrian and Sam. The situation could not have been easier. Met them at their fantastic showroom. It is difficult, when you are in there, not to buy more than one car, they really do have some fantastic stock. We spent a very pleasant hour going over the car and came to a very fair deal. No pressure sales rule at Retro Classic. A couple of weeks later, Adrian and Sam, very kindly delivered the car to our house. I am sure we will buy more cars from them in the future, they are the easiest of all people to thoroughly recommend to other classic car buyers. All the best.”

Thank you sincerely, guys! I’ll certainly be back…”

Paul Knight

“Absolutely first class service from Sam and Adrian, and the start of a long relationship! Their knowledge is exceptional (I was a first time classic car buyer) and their attention to detail and service is amongst the best I’ve ever experienced in any field. If there is a car in Retro’s show room, I would know it’s of the highest quality possible, and the guys passion for their cars will do the rest. I would highly recommend.”

Arlo White

“I purchased a ’64 Mustang Convertible from Adrian. After speaking with him at length, I felt confident to purchase the car sight unseen, and Adrian made sure to deliver what must surely be the finest example of its type in the UK, fully serviced and ready to go. Highly recommended seller, and I hope to be back for another car in the future.”

Robert Jordan

“I had a really positive experience with Retro Classic. As this was my first purchase of a car of this age I had a lot of questions and I thought the guys were both patient and informative and I never felt rushed or pressured at any time in the process. Both Adrian and Sam were a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend organizing a visit to their showroom, it’s like an auto sweet shop.”

Gordon Affleck

“An absolute pleasure to deal with Retro Classics, Adrian and Sam are knowledgeable, professional and above all extremely personable and helpful.

Adrian and Sam were absolutely amazing and a pleasure to deal with. They helped us every step of the way in helping us find our dream corvette. They are complete car enthusiasts and no pushy sales tactics at all, they let their beautiful cars do all the work. If your looking for a classic American car dealer look no further!”

“Recently brought a classic mustang from retro classics. Really impressed with the professionalism and honesty from Adrian. He was extremely helpful and efficient. Got an amazing car that we as a family are over the moon with, it was delivered safely and on time as arranged and Adrian has been extremely helpful even in after sales as I have been in contact since for useful contacts for the future. Would 100% recommend. Would give 6 stars if I could”

Mark Merrydew 

“Great experience buying from Adrian and Sam. Well kept and stocked showroom and happily accommodated an early morning viewing. They had the car delivered for me which was hassle free and subsequently have been checking in to ensure I’m happy with my purchase. Couldn’t ask for more. Many thanks”

Piers Hulford

“I purchased a Camaro Z28 of these 2 guys (recently) from the first time I met Sam I found this engaging young man to be polite, professional, not at all pushy and very pleasant for us petrol fuel old guys to deal with. I have never seen cars prepared to such a high standard, 100% better paint finish etc than when some of their mustangs etc where new in the USA. One would have no hesitation in recommending a purchase from these 2 gentleman..”

Richard O’Brien

“I recently bought a 2020 Mustang from Retro Classic Car and I have to say it was a great buying experience from start to finish. Sam is a great guy, very professional and very personable, and he made the buying experience a real pleasure. Needless to say the car itself was also perfect, exactly as described and I got a great deal. If the missus will allow it, I’ll gladly be buying from them again in the future! Thanks Sam! You’re a star.”

Mark Clayden

“We brought a fantastic truck for my dad for his birthday. It is everything it is in the pictures and more, he loves everything about it . Sam and Adrian are very helpful and understanding. All the vehicles that we saw at retro classics were showroom cars and outstanding. We would definitely recommend it as the place to go and wouldn’t go anywhere else in future.”

Riley Cooper 

“What a fantastic business Retro Classic Car is. Adrian and Sam are the most honest, direct and interested motor traders I’ve encountered. Their passion for their product is palpable and their level of service is truly outstanding. They are clearly more interested in building a relationship than they are in making a ‘sale’! If anything, they undersold the condition of my hard sought ’71 Mustang Mach 1. I will definitely work with these gentleman again and look forward to a long relationship – now off to build a bigger garage!”

Justin Byrne 

“Just bought a Pontiac Trans Am GTA 1988. I love the car and Adrian and Sam have been so professional throughout the whole process. They are so friendly, and their enthusiasm towards the cars they are selling is infectious! It has been a pleasure dealing with them. I wouldn’t hesitate when I buy my next classic car to go straight to them.”

Geoff & Angela Trattles

“Waited 30 years to buy my dream car. Found her at Retro classic car, what a fantastic experience meeting Sam and his dad they put my mind at ease when buying my car, very friendly and passionate about what they do, made my experience so much easier to decide to make my dream come true, totally recommend these guys and will definitely use them again and now I have my car I couldn’t be happier”

Gary Duffon

“Recently met with Sam & Adrian to purchase my retro dream at there showroom, it was so refreshing to be able to look over one’s shoulder & remind myself of what customer service used to be like in the good old days! If your looking at one of there classics you can be assured these guys know what there doing & the there product / service/ presentation/ after sales is all 10/10 – highly recommended!”

Chris Murphy

“It was an absolute pleasure buying a car from Sam and Adrian! The quality of there cars is exactly what you would expect from a top classic car supplier….”

Dougie Feltham

“Traveled a long way to buy a car here and was not disappointed. The car was as described, immaculate, and I was made welcome by the guys that run Retro Classics. That were happy to chat over tea/coffee and I could tell customer care is important to them. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this business in the future, and I don’t throw praise like that around very often.”

Stephen Tiggerdine

“After buying cars for the past 35 years I have never had such a great experience with any garage, rang to make an appointment to view. I was told everything about the car before I arrived and on the day I viewed the car I was shown everything, then was left to check over the car and all the paperwork on my own which makes a refreshing change, was never any pushy sales. After buying the car I was invited to pop in for cuppa whenever I am passing which tells me how confident Sam is in the car I bought. I haven’t bought my car from a garage I’ve bought a car from car enthusiasts thanks again Sam & Adrian.”
