About Us:
Retro Classic Car is a family owned Classic Car Dealership run by father and son team Adrian and Sam Harper. Established now for over 18 years we are situated in the village of Swainby in the scenic North York Moors National Park. Our private and secure showroom offers one of the leading selections of the most sought-after and iconic American classics in the UK.
We have a passion for all things related to classic motoring and the cars we look for are always the ones we want to get behind the steering wheel and drive for ourselves. Thankfully our customers seem to feel the same as us. Cars from the 1960’s and 1970’s are what we tend to lean towards. So, classics like the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Dodge Charger and anything else that we and our customers might like. You will also see a sprinkling of classic motorcycles and other car marques too.
We think that you will agree that all the classics we have on offer are great to look at and just what you would want to have parked in your driveway or garage. They all offer a unique and sometimes addictive driving experience’s that makes any trip out an event.
They certainly don’t make these cars anymore and values continue to increase making them not only a desirable thing to own but a sound investment for the future.

Our commitment to our customers and company ethos.
When looking to buy a classic car whether to add to your collection or if in particular you are dipping your toe into classic ownership for the first time, we always encourage our customers to view our cars in person. That way you can touch and feel what its like to be behind the wheel when we take it for a test drive and answer any questions you will no doubt have about classic car ownership.
In addition, we always welcome any independent inspection you may wish to have carried out.
You can sit down with a mug of Yorkshire tea or coffee! In our specialist showroom based in the North York Moors National Park and look through the often-large history files many of our cars come with.
