NEW: Classic Motorsport Events in 2017

 

The Classic Emporium website is divided into nine main sections:

Automobilia: rare & collectable motoring items, including Automobile Association and RAC badges, automotive advertising memorabilia, & vintage garage equipment.

Books: includes rare marque books on Ferrari, Jaguar & Rootes, as well as books on motorsport & classic cars - many are out of print and scarce.

Brochures: a wide range of original sales brochures on all kinds of classic vehicles, from ACs to Wolseleys, and oddities in between such as Astral caravans & Youngman tractors.

Ephemera: lots of rare & unusual motoring memorabilia like AA members’ handbooks, Grand Prix guides and vintage road maps. Great for displaying at classic car shows. Most of these items are one offs and stock changes quickly.

Handbooks: looking for an original handbook for your classic car or commercial vehicle? From Austin to Wolseley, or BMC van to Ford D Series truck, we may have what you need.

Manuals: a factory workshop manual can help keep your vintage or classic car on the road. We have rare Austin, Ferrari, Jaguar and Jensen manuals plus many from Haynes & Autobooks.

Parts Books: whether tackling a full restoration or just tinkering in the winter months, a factory parts book can prove invaluable. We have original spare parts catalogues for many makes.

Programmes: we have a growing selection of motor race programmes & race cards. Stock changes constantly so please revisit regularly.

Collectables: rare & collectable items that don’t necessarily relate to motoring. Do have a browse you never quite know what might turn up!
