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
Over 100 classic cars sold in the past 3 years... Looking after history for the next generation.
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.

✨Bognor Regis Motor Club Ltd 15th Regis TAP – Sunday 7th September 2025 ✨
What a fantastic day out! The Regis TAP (Tour and Picnic), organised by the Bognor Regis Motor Club Ltd, brought together 90 classic and future-classic cars for a 97-mile tour across Hampshire and West Sussex.
📍 Starting at Great Ballard School, Eartham, near Chichester, the route included a stop at Shamley Wood Estate, a pit stop at Bill Rawles Classic Cars and finished with a hog roast at the Tithe Barn, Ditcham, near Petersfield.
From a 1926 Vauxhall 30-98 to Jaguars, Triumphs, Minis, Lotus Elans, Aston Martins and more – the variety of cars was simply incredible.
The event wasn’t just about the drive – it raised funds for the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance. Across 14 tours, the Regis TAP has raised over £75,000 for various charities, with the club total since 1998 reaching £666,766.96
A huge thank you to:
🙏 Mick & Ali Briggs for organising such a meticulously planned and well executed event
☕ Four Marks WI for the delicious afternoon tea at the pit stop, delivering the refreshments with style and great attention to detail
🙌 Everyone who joined and supported
We loved being part of this special day filled with motoring passion, community spirit, and fundraising for a great cause. ❤️

🚗✨ Sales update & Market insight✨
Despite a turbulent classic car market, we have secured the sale of 4x Austin-Healeys and 1 Jaguar E-Type over the past few weeks. Just going to show that if priced correctly, there is still a good demand for cars and in 2025 we have already sold more cars than in 2024.
Reviewing figures from the past few years, it is starting to show a good insight into our market trends, and we can now see that there was a rush of sales during and post pandemic, 2020-2022, and this flattened off in 2023 to a low point in terms of number of cars sold and price achieved was falling. 2024 saw a steady increase in price with the lowest demand whilst 2025, demand has increased slightly along with settled prices.
The average cost of cars we have sold align to 2015-2018 period showing that 2019-2022 was the peak.
We are actively searching for a red 3000 MKI or MKII, preferably with a hard top, please get in touch if you have a car to sell.
For now, there are positive signs and continued enthusiasm for the marque and in the workshop, we have never seen a busier summer period.

🚗✨ A Spectacular Day in Alton! ✨🚗
🚙💨 The 22nd Alton Lions Classic Car Show – What a day! What a variety!
On Saturday 30th August 2025, the
22nd Alton Lions Classic Car Show transformed our historic market town into a paradise for motoring enthusiasts – filled with the sparkle of chrome, the hum of engines, and a true sense of community.
🌟 This year’s special feature celebrated Classic British Sports Cars, proudly displayed in the heart of the High Street outside the Swan Hotel. Visitors admired icons of the road including Austin Healey, Jaguar, Lotus, MG, Sunbeam, and Triumph.
Among them was our very own red 1966 Austin Healey 3000, showcased by Bill Rawles Classic Cars, who were proud to support and advise the Alton Lions. We were also delighted to feature in the souvenir show magazine with a 2-page article by Jack Rawles – The Story of the Healey World Challenge. Jack was honoured to present the Best Presented Feature Car 2025 award. 🏆
🚙 Across the town, over 170 classic and vintage vehicles, some more than a century old, made for a breathtaking display and the town was alive with automotive history.
💛 Most importantly, the show raised vital funds for Young Lives vs Cancer, helping young people and their families face the impact of cancer and its treatment.
👉 See you in 2026 for the 23rd Classic Car Show!

Test Day ✅ | Goodwood Revival Prep
Thursday 28th August marked our official @goodwoodrevival test day – just 2 weeks to go until the 2025 Revival (12-13-14 September) and we can’t wait to be back supporting @jackrawles racing 2 cars in 2 different races over the weekend.
After all this glorious summer weather, who would have believed the test day would be an absolute washout 🌧️ – torrential rain with the odd glimmer of sunshine was the order of the day. Still, we made the most of it!
We managed to give Glen Cayley’s Austin Healey 100S AHS 3603 a proper shakedown: ✅ passed the track’s noise test, ✅ put in some valuable laps, and ✅ confirmed the car is running and set up as we want.
And in true race-weekend spirit, one of the photos caught @jackrawles grabbing a quick bite in the pit lane before heading back out on track – now that’s what you call a pit stop! 🍴🏁
Here are a few moments from a very wet but productive day 📸 just a casual photo dump
