With over 30 years’ experience, The Light Car Company specialises in the repair, restoration, and storage of private collections of some of the most exclusive and prominent classic cars in the world.
Where possible, all Light Car Company services take place onsite in our fully equipped and modern workshop in the heart of Oxfordshire. Our experienced team has access to modern tooling but often the best way to preserve a car is through the understanding and knowledge of the way it was originally built, using the same tools and skills.
Respecting the history of each vehicle we see, we work closely with our clients to understand their vision for restoration whilst ensuring each car is safe, roadworthy and comfortable to drive. We are perfectionists and pride ourselves on our attention to detail and our uncompromising focus on quality.
We offer detailing and valeting from one of the UK’s leading companies to ensure that your vehicle is concours-ready. Trained in the latest technologies such as PPF and ceramic coating.
Nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire, our discreet and self-contained storage facility provides a safe and private space to store collections of cherished vehicles. Vehicles can be accessed seven days a week (please provide us with 48 hours notice) and insurance can be arranged if required. Please contact us on +44 (0) 1367 710377 for our current rates.
Whether you are purchasing a car from abroad or need to transport a vehicle to another country, we take care of every element of the complex process of exporting and importing vehicles. We can help with arranging door-to-door logistics from anywhere in the world and help with customs clearance, VAT, tax, carnet, NOVA and UK registration. We can also put you in touch with one of the country’s leading classic car insurance brokers.
Our experienced team can complete a wide range of services from basic inspections, annual service work and MOTs to keep cars running perfectly.
