Direct Classics
Exceptional by selection
Classic cars, sourced,
rebuilt and driven.
A private collection, a chauffeur-driven experience service, and the full rebuild story behind every car we put our name on.
What we do
Four ways in.
Every one of these starts as a conversation, not a checkout. Tell us which car and what for, and we will come back to you personally.
-
01
The rebuild story
Every car carries a photo-led account of its own restoration. Shell, paint, engine and trim, written as it happened rather than after the fact.

02
Sell us your classic
A straight answer on what your car is worth to us, and no obligation either way. Send what you have, with photographs and a history file if there is one.
-
03
Vehicle storage
Dry, secure, insured storage for cars that are not being driven this month. Started, moved and looked over on a schedule, not left to sit.
-
04
Book chauffeur-driven
A car and a driver for the day. Weddings, anniversaries, arrivals, photography, or a long route through good country for no reason at all.
Ready To Drive
The Time Collection
Every car listed with its full specification, its provenance file, and the story of its rebuild.

The Workshop
On the ramps.
A proper rebuild takes months. These are the cars in the shop now, with the work posted as it happens.
On film
Out on the road.
How we work
The last of their kind.
The rarest cars are the ones that nearly did not make it. We look for the survivors: few owners, few miles, original where it counts. Then we bring them back from the edge rather than tidying them up for a photograph.
-
01
Source
Survivors, not projects. One or two owners from new, mileage that reads like a typing error, and history going back to the first tank of petrol. Found through a network built over decades: private owners, estates, and cars that never reach an advert.
-
02
Restore
In-house metalwork, paint and trim. Mechanical rebuild to original specification unless you ask us for something braver. Every stage photographed, so what is under the paint is a matter of record rather than trust.
-
03
Deliver
Shaken down over several hundred miles, then handed over with the full file, or kept with us and driven for you whenever you want it.
