Welcome to PhilClassic, Classic vehicle Consultants.
We have bought, sold, restored and constructed from scratch literally thousands of cars and motorcycles. Those that were fortunate enough to visit our museum in Ulverston, South Lakes, were in awe of the standards accomplished. This background has given Phil the experience and expertise to scrutinise prospective purchases for his clients.
We are able to inspect cars and motorcycles - whether classic or modern - anywhere in the UK and after a thorough inspection and road test (if the vehicle is roadworthy and road-legal) we will give an unbiased written condition report, both mechanically and visually. Remember when considering a purchase you're about to spend your hard earned cash, and you should remember the old proverb: "Everything that glitters is not always gold". Phil could literally save you thousands of pounds.
Phil was trained as a mechanic (in the good old days!) when your six year apprenticeship encompassed both cars and motorcycles, mechanic, bodywork, electrics, and welding. Phil has worked on Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce and Corvette, both in Canada and the UK. He has also built from scratch several new Norvins and Eglis, as well as an enormous amount of other cars and motor cycles. This foundation has enabled Phil to run his own business for over 40 years.
