“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
“What a fabulous experience it is to visit Retro Classic Cars. It is a little oasis of automotive pleasure. You’ll only find top notch machinery here, mainly American. Sam and Adrian welcome you like long-lost friends and insist you have a slurp of Yorkshire Tea. The cars are the jewels, presented like shining treasure. There’s no hard-sell here, just enthusiastic banter. We fell in love with an old Mustang and a deal was reached with no fuss. Fair is the word which springs to mind. I don’t think I have ever made such a hassle-free purchase. I think I’ll always be drawn back to this gem of a place for another American icon, some Yorkshire Tea and some friendly banter. Put simply, this is the place to visit if you want a special experience and a special car.”
Nick Cooper
“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.”

“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!”

“I don’t normally review things but I think for this company is truly justified. Adrian and Sam a father and son team which was really nice to see know their product inside out and are truly passionate about what they sell. I’m not the most patient person on the planet and they just looked after me. I would have no problem in purchasing another vehicle from this company thanks again chaps”

I would definitely use them in the future to purchase any further cars and would recommend them to anybody who wants a great car with great service. I had the pleasure of meeting them both recently and they are just as helpful in person. Highly recommend.”
Graham Sparks
“What a terrific place, I was like a kid in a sweetshop. Adrian and Sam are very easy to work with and very helpful taking your through all the cars details, I would say one of the best places in the UK to buy a classic yank, I will be recommending them to a few of my musician friends who also own and run classic American motors”

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
“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.

I wouldn’t hesitate when I buy my next classic car to go straight to them.”

“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!

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.”
Paul Stoddart
“Just purchased my Mach 1 from Adrian and Sam at Retro and what a fantastic car. I’ve been looking for another classic for a while now and all I can say is the cars that they sell are all exceptional. They are both incredibly friendly and welcoming when you go to visit them, and both have a real passion and knowledge for the cars they sell. I would definitely use them again in the future and would highly recommend Retro to anyone else thinking of buying a classic car through them, you certainly will not be disappointed.”
Mark Merrydew
“Absolute pleasure dealing with these guys, Sam & Adrian are knowledgeable, patient with customers and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Andy Bardney
“Amazing service and these guys made my dream come true. Came all the way from Glasgow to see my dream car as well as have a long chat with Sam. My time there was amazing, Sam made me feel at home and was having such a good chat I entirely forgot the main reason I was there! Answered all my questions, and Sam continues to answer all my questions, great after service and car is awesome as described. If your looking for a classic American car, no hidden issues, top quality and trusted then go with retro car classic. Thanks Sam and Adrian for everything, will keep in contact and got my eyes on another car soon. Simply Amazing!”
