Ikoyi, Lagos · Classic and vintage cars

Old cars, kept properly.

Restored saloons, coupes and convertibles from the 1950s to the 1980s, a workshop that rebuilds them bolt by bolt, and a cream convertible for your wedding day.

The house rule

We never sell a car we would not drive home ourselves. Every car in the showroom has been through our workshop, and every one comes with a written history.

Questions

Can my own mechanic inspect a car?

Yes. Book a viewing and bring them along, or ask for our written inspection report.

Do you buy cars?

We buy some, and we sell others for their owners on consignment. See Sell your car.

Is a classic car an investment?

We sell cars to be driven and enjoyed. Prices can fall as well as rise, and we never promise a return.
