Are you struggling to find somewhere that treats your modern classic with the care, expertise and skill it deserves?

It is hard to define a modern classic, but a general ballpark of late 80’s all the way through the early-mid 2000’s is where we place it.

Modern classic ownership issues

We understand the challenges faced by modern classic owners: where should you take it for servicing and restoration?
Your options might include;
- Main Dealership garages, who may not even look at it.
- Independent modern garages, who may not treat the car with the care it deserves.
- Body shops, who want a quick and easy repair.

This is where Bill Rawles Classic Cars can help, we have the knowledge and experience to fully and reliably repair and service your modern classic, and give it the care and attention it deserves. We will look after your classic in the same way we would any other, and understand how to preserve it, to keep it ageing gracefully.

Driven by a love of MX5s

In the same way that Bill found a love of classics whilst driving them, Charlie and Jack Rawles raced behind the wheel of MX5s and discovered a passion for restoring modern classics. With multiple race wins (and restorations when racing didn't quite go to plan), we have a wealth of experience in restoring, servicing, repairing, and racing these cars. Please get in touch to discuss your modern classic needs.

VW Golf GTI Restoration Feature

A cult classic, the Golf Mk1 GTI.... This particular car is one owner from new and Bill Rawles Classic Cars has been entrusted with the full restoration of the shell, from strip down and metalwork repairs through to paint and the iconic red stripe. Here are just a small selection of photos:

Mazda MX5 Restoration Feature

You either own an MX5 that has had its sills repaired, or they need to be repaired! Just one example of the types of modern classic we can repair in house at Bill Rawles Classic Cars. There are many companies that offer sill repairs, but as this car is an ever appreciating modern classic, now is the most important time to do them properly. We will apply the same skills and thorough restoration of your MX5 as we would with a Healey. We understand that we may not be the cheapest provider on the modern classic market but the quality of the work carried out will be unrivalled.
