The History

The Dedicated Team Behind The Award Winning Business

Our Philosophy

Concours Classics was founded on a clear belief: exceptional cars deserve exceptional standards.

We are a restoration-led specialist working with classic and collector vehicles where correctness, quality, and longevity matter. Every project — whether a full concours restoration, a custom bespoke build or focused improvements & corrective work — it is all undertaken with discipline, care, and an uncompromising attention to detail.

Our philosophy is simple. From Servicing, Maintaining, Mechanical, Suspension, Welding, Fabrication, Bodywork, Paint, Trim & Tuning, it remains the same; Do it properly. Do it once. Do it to last.

We are not driven by volume, but by standard. Each vehicle entrusted to us is treated with the respect its history deserves and the foresight its future demands.
