Where our story began
A family story rooted in classic motoring
Vintage & Classic was founded by our director, Tim Grigsby, whose passion for vintage and classic vehicles has been part of his life for as long as he can remember.
Tim was brought up by true petrolhead parents. His mother was a highly successful rally driver, while his father became a world authority on car restoration. With that background, it was perhaps inevitable that their enthusiasm for historic motoring would continue into the next generation.
Today, Tim has an eclectic personal collection that includes a 1904 Humberette London-to-Brighton runner, a 1914 Sunbeam Edwardian tourer, a 1926 Bullnose Morris trials car and a wide range of other classic vehicles.
His passion is not limited to collecting them. Tim races a 1977 Lola T580 with the HSCC, the Historic Sports Car Club, and has been racing cars since the 1980s. He has raced everything from single-seaters to sports cars and vintage cars at major circuits across the UK, and also has a collection of rare, old and interesting motorcycles.
Vintage & Classic grew from that lifelong enthusiasm and a desire to give more people the chance to experience the excitement of owning something truly special.
