Bill Rawles Classic Cars

Bill Rawles, Austin-Healey & classic car expert with over 30 years of experience now runs BRCC with sons, Charlie and Jack, and a team of 12.

Bill founded Rawles Motorsport in 1998 & sold the company in 2007. We have no association to Rawles Motorsport. Bill Rawles has been involved with classic cars for over 25 years, having founded the largest Austin-Healey workshop in Southern England and established the name around the world. He sold this very successful business (Rawles Motorsport) in 2007 to set up Bill Rawles Classic Cars Ltd, which is a completely new stand alone venture with no connections to the old company. This new venture is based in Four Marks, Alton, Hampshire and caters for all makes of Classics and has Bill firmly at the helm with a wealth of experience, knowledge and strong skill structure. Quality control is of the upmost importance and attention to detail essential. Some of the services offered by our business include an engineering and machine shop, tig welding, engine and mechanical rebuilds, gearbox and transmission work, restoration and specialised recreations, race and rally car builds, accident repairs (insurance approved), servicing, maintenance and MOT'S, collection and delivery services, car sales (fixed price commission), pre purchase inspections and valuation reports, insurance approved valuers and a network of other specialist trades and parts suppliers. Bill has also been involved in Historic Motorsport for over 15 years and has campaigned his Austin Healey 3000 to many podium places. The business can also provide Race and Rally preparation and support including transportation to events and circuits. The aim of our page is to complement our web page, which is the informative front to our business, www.rawlesclassiccars.co.uk
Our page is a bit of fun, providing an insight to our business and life inside and outside of work hours, sharing our love of cars and motorsport, the experiences, places and people it enables us to be exposed to. Hopefully we have created a friendly, welcoming environment where we work with our customers, helping them to get the most out of their classic car so they can enjoy it to its' full potential as we enjoy our own personal cars, whether it be a road, race or rally car!!!! Always feel free to call for an informal chat or send us an email - we look forward to meeting you.

Whilst we firmly remain Austin-Healey specialists, we often find, that customers have a range of vehicles and request us to attend to their other cars too.

This Healey owner has recently purchased this RS500, we have completed an inspection, report and are working through a list of jobs. Amazingly, this car has only completed 30,000 miles from new!
