Classic Car Restoration & Maintenance

Bill Rawles Classic Cars

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.

About

Classic Car Services

We offer a full restoration service on all types of classic car, specialising in Austin-Healey.

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.

Motorsport

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.

Congratulations to BRCC customer Ian Thomas for clinching the Healey class in the Healeysport Speed Championship to become the overall Champion for 2024.

Last year, we built a hill climb engine for this rally/hill climb car, suspension set up, brake work and safety improvements which have clearly paid dividends!

If you are interested in competing, the hill climb championship is very accessible, there will be a class for your car, whether it is a road car or a fully fledged competition car.

You can find out more information at www.healeysport.org - The Championship is in a fantastic place with so many entrants, the championship has a mix of historic hill events and speed events which are typically at circuits, timed over one lap standing starts. Healeysport is growing and always welcomes new entrants and we know 2025 will continue to be bigger and better.

We have had the privilege of looking after, repairing, storing and supporting Austin Healey 100S 3910 this summer. 

On its last event of the summer, it attended the levitt concours, a great picture. 

It is ready to be returned to Switzerland. 

With next year being the 70th anniversary of the 100S, we hope to see the car back in the UK soon.
