Restoration
Restorations that stand the test of time.
Whether the car has great provenance, or it has had a humble life enjoyed by many, every car is treated with the upmost care and attention to detail.
Where it all began
Born from a love of classic cars
Bill Rawles started his first classic car restoration business over 30 years ago from his workshop in the south of England, specialising in Austin-Healeys and establishing the Rawles family name and reputation around the world.
Bill sold his first business in 2007 to set up Bill Rawles Classic Cars Ltd, a family venture with sons Charlie and Jack, specialising in all makes of classic car. With Bill firmly at the helm with his wealth of experience and knowledge, Bill Rawles Classic Cars has grown to cover all aspects of classic car restoration, maintenance and sales with quality control and attention to detail of the upmost importance. Bill has been involved in historic motorsport for over 20 years and has campaigned his Austin-Healey 3000 to many podium places. Race and rally preparation, event support and transportation are a growing part of our business.

Showroom & Sales

Experts in classic car servicing
Servicing your car is an integral part of maintenance and reliability, and as a standard we will check all the critical safety factors such as chassis, brakes, tyres, fluid levels and electronics are working as they should, before another year of happy motoring. Whilst an MOT is not mandatory for some classic cars, our safety check should not be a substitute. We recommend testing the car annually and some insurance companies may require a valid MOT, which we can also provide if desired/required.
Choose an option to suit your needs, from a levels service to a full service or a pre-MOT inspection and an MOT.
Classic Car Sales
If you're looking to buy a classic car or have a classic car which you want to sell, we can help.

81st GOODWOOD MEMBERS MEETING
Peter Collins Trophy 3rd overall!
“Wow, what a weekend and what a result for this ‘little’ Healey 100S. We headed into the weekend discouraged by the number of Jaguar C & D types in our race but after a close qualifying and race we came out with a 3rd place overall and a lap time 0.7s faster than revival 2022 showing the winter development completed on this car has been a great success. It’s simply a dream come true to stand on the podium at Goodwood.” - Jack Rawles
More to come in the following days, I am sure… but for now, here are a few photos from our weekend. We loved seeing so many friends and customers over the weekend, thank you for saying hello. We’d love to see your photos if you got any?

OUR FREE 2023 POSTER! Now available. Details below, how to get your hands on one!
Since 2018, every year we have produced a poster based on an interesting or unique event during the year. Last year, BRCC customer Ian Thomas was rallying his BRCC equipped Austin-Healey when he enthusiastically launched the car through the water feature. Carrying the number 1, Ian was the first through the stage and the first to see this was not a puddle. Despite this, it has made for a fantastic A3 poster for your wall to join the others in the series.
Do you know the best bit? These posters are completely FREE. Available for worldwide shipping, there may be a small shipping charge for international postage but please don`t hesitate to ask.
To claim your free 2023 poster (or others in the series) email - info@rawlesclassiccars.co.uk with the subject `FREE 2023 poster` include your address and we will ship one out to you whilst stocks last & they often go quick!
