Our journey
A little bit about us
Our passion for classic cars – especially those that made Britain’s motor industry the envy of the world in the glory days of the 1960’s – is the driving force behind UK Rippers. Founded in Leicester, we had seen how difficult it can be to export classic and valuable cars from the UK to other countries, in particular Australia, without a lot of paperwork and the risk of damage for the owner. We recognized the space in the market for a dedicated service provider in classic car export to Australia, and the concept was born.
While we began by only offering to deliver classic, it soon became clear there was a demand for more modern British luxury cars, hence the Bentley Continental GT is currently the model that we have dealt with most often. Australians are also fond of Aston Martin – and who can blame them – so we’re to help if you have your eye on a particular specification Vantage, for example, or other models from the marque.
Why should you come to UK Rippers to find your dream British classic? Our combined knowledge of the classic car market in the UK, and of motor manufacturing history, means we know exactly what you want when you talk to us. We also have extensive contacts in the classic and luxury car market throughout the UK, so we know where to go for specialist, rare or particular makes and models.
As lifelong car lovers we are committed to providing our clients with the best choice of their specified model, and if we cannot find the exact specification we will get as close to it as possible. We are also dedicated to ensuring the car arrives in Australia in the condition it left the UK, and to achieve this we have partnered with experts in the classic car shipping business who we know and trust.
