Bill Rawles Classic Cars
If you're looking to buy a classic car or have a classic car which you want to sell, we can help. 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.
Services
We are the Rawles family. Working on Austin-Healeys & classic cars is a family tradition and we are a company that prides itself on good values, repeat custom and happy employees. For us, it is a way of life. Bill founded Bill Rawles Classic Cars Ltd in 2007 after the sale of and split from his previous company, Rawles Motorsport.
The 100S model was a replica of the 1954 Sebring 12-hour car that finished third overall. The first car fitted with four-wheel dunlop disc brakes, differences to the standard Healey 100 included an aluminum sub structure and body as well as a specially designed inlet and exhaust system. We have looked after 'RLF 500' for over 10 years now and have also built our own re-manufactured 100S.
Whether you have a classic car in need of a service or you're interested in a restoration, Bill Rawles Classic Cars have the all the facilities in house to complete the end-to-end process. In need of your annual service? The Bill Rawles Classic Cars health check & service will provide all the maintenance your classic needs to enable you to continue many more worry-free miles.
Bring your Healey somewhere you can trust. We are not interested in selling gizmos and gadgets, servicing and maintenance which is simple and reliable. To discuss your requirements in detail it would always be best to call the office on 01420 564343. We offer a range of services for any classic. We recommend at least a 'levels and lube' service every 12 months and a full service every year if the car is in frequent use.
We aren't interested in selling you something you don't need or want or gizmos and gadgets for your car.

We will only give advice and improve your car based on our experience and your desired outcomes, from simple changes to improve reliability with a negative earth conversion, alternator and high torque starter to seat belts, windscreens, handling and brake upgrades and four-cylinder improvements to 100 'M Spec' to our popular full fast road upgrade and performance parts.

What Bill and Jack don't know about Austin Healeys isn't worth knowing!
Passionate, professional, and incredibly friendly, they could not have been more helpful with my recent purchase of an AH3000.
Thrilled with the car. Thank you guys!

Bill and his team did an excellent job of installing a power steering unit on my 1996 TVR Griffith. They collected the car from my home taking great care in loading it on the trailer.

Family run business that engages with classic car enthusiasts. Throughout summer they hold ‘Noggin and natters’ monthly coffee mornings enticing enthusiasts to come together. Probably good for business too. Good place for restoration and trim work and they have a range of stock for sale.

Well what can I say! Bill is a perfectionist and knows what he wants out of a Healey ,ably supported by Rose and all the guys in the workshop. I cannot talk highly enough about the great family feel at Bill Rawles. If you want to buy a Healey then I cannot think of a better place to buy from.

I've known Bill and his team for around 20 years but hadn't seen them for a while. It was great to get the invitation to the Cars & Coffee events and finally get to show the finished car.
The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly and I enjoyed talking to a few other owners. I think I may have to join the A-H owners club!
Well done to Bill, his family and team for putting on such a great event.

As my stub-axle recon snow-balled into replacement brake and clutch masters, a 'spot' of welding, free and adjust torsion bars etc. etc. Bill's calm good humoured acceptance that my MG had become a semi-permanent workshop fixture was matched by Rosie always offering tea/coffee like I was a tea-boat contributor. The latest kindness was for Bill to… diagnose a worn out steering rack and on hearing that I was happy to do the job, immediately give me use of his 'spare' ramps and access to tools/hands if needed. Not only is their work completed to the highest standard, but in 30yrs of classic
