Classic & Sports Car Dealers
est. London 1989
Welcome to Classic Chrome
Classic Chrome first opened its doors on 18th October 1989 and was created by Garry Shortt who started his career as an Engineering Apprentice at British Leyland in Cowley, Oxford. After a career spanning 16 years with BL and Austin Rover in both their Service and Sales & Marketing divisions in Oxford and London, he launched Classic Chrome on its current site in Mortlake to fulfil his passion for restoring and selling Classic & Sports Cars and it is now widely recognised as one of the UK's leading Classic & Sports Car dealers.
We pride ourselves on our extensive knowledge and experience with all apects of Classic & Sports cars and are well known for our personal and professional approach. We always have an interesting range of cars of all makes and models and every car we take in to sell has to meet our exacting requirements in terms of provenance, history and condition. In addition, every car is comprehensively prepared and presented to a standard rarely found elsewhere.
It is still not widely recognised that all Classic Cars over 40 years old are Road Tax exempt, MOT exempt and are Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) exempt + they can be insured with specialists Classic Insurance brokers at a cost of anything up to 70% less than normal car insurance, so they make perfect sense and should be an appreciating asset as well.
We offer a range of services, so please see our Services page for further details and our Links page full of useful contacts for many aspects of classic car ownership.
With almost 35 years of experience comes an undeniable level of passion for our cars and we look forward to welcoming you at our showrooms to show you what we have on offer.
Our reputation speaks for itself and to see what our customers have said about us, please see our excellent 5* Google reviews.
