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.
AboutWe offer a full restoration service on all types of classic car, specialising in Austin-Healey.
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.
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.
If you're looking to buy a classic car or have a classic car which you want to sell, we can help.
Race proven performance, reliably first
With over 30 years of Austin-Healey competition experience, our race Healeys are built to perform, but, more importantly, to finish. From sprint racing to the Spa 6 Hours, we have tried, tested and developed components so you don't have to.

๐โจ A Spectacular Day in Alton! โจ๐
๐๐จ The 22nd Alton Lions Classic Car Show โ 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 โ filled with the sparkle of chrome, the hum of engines, and a true sense of community.
๐ This yearโs 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 โ The Story of the Healey World Challenge. Jack was honoured to present the Best Presented Feature Car 2025 award. ๐
๐ 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.
๐ 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.
๐ See you in 2026 for the 23rd Classic Car Show!

Test Day โ
| Goodwood Revival Prep
Thursday 28th August marked our official @goodwoodrevival test day โ just 2 weeks to go until the 2025 Revival (12-13-14 September) and we canโt 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 ๐ง๏ธ โ 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 Cayleyโs Austin Healey 100S AHS 3603 a proper shakedown: โ
passed the trackโs noise test, โ
put in some valuable laps, and โ
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 โ now thatโs what you call a pit stop! ๐ด๐
Here are a few moments from a very wet but productive day ๐ธ just a casual photo dump

Ex works Sebring 3000 54 FAC @goodwoodrevival
This year the ex works Austin-Healey 3000 54 FAC will be part of the starting grid at the Goodwood Revival 2025.
Drivers @jackrawles46 and @jaap.sinke will be driving in the Sir Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy Race.
Friday 12th September 2025 - 30 minute official practice at 14.10
Saturday 13th September 2025 - 45 minute race at 17.35
Sir Stirling Moss was a frequent competitor and winner at the Goodwood Circuit in period. The Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy is a race for pre 1963 closed-cockpit GT cars, the kind of cars that the great man himself raced to victory numerous times around the Goodwood Circuit.
54 FAC stands out as a legendary vehicle, deeply intertwined with the 1950s Sebring races and the spirit of endurance motorsport. the registration 54 FAC is more than just a number plate; it is a symbol of racing heritage and driven by some of the finest talents of its day, including Clive Baker & Paddy Hopkirk.

๐โจ A Spectacular Day in Alton! โจ๐
๐๐จ The 22nd Alton Lions Classic Car Show โ 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 โ filled with the sparkle of chrome, the hum of engines, and a true sense of community.
๐ This yearโs 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 โ The Story of the Healey World Challenge. Jack was honoured to present the Best Presented Feature Car 2025 award. ๐
๐ 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.
๐ 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.
๐ See you in 2026 for the 23rd Classic Car Show!
