The Forge Pricing Promise :

At The Forge, we guarantee pricing that is consistently competitive and transparent, saving you money compared to other classic car dealers. We also eliminate the uncertainty that often comes with buying Classic Cars directly from individuals or at auctions.

How We Price Our Cars :
We rely on Hagerty’s industry-leading classic car Price Guide to keep our prices in line with the current market. By leveraging detailed data, auction results, dealer pricing, private sales, and insights from the UK’s most trusted classic car websites, we maintain transparency and fairness in our pricing. Our cars are regularly checked against market conditions, allowing you to enjoy a hassle-free, no-bartering experience.

​

Why Choose The Forge?
Family Values, Transparent Pricing, and a Genuine Passion for Classic Cars!
 

At The Forge, we’re more than just a classic car dealership—we’re a family-run business with a genuine love for classic cars. Our mission is simple: treat our customers as we’d want to be treated—with honesty, respect, and transparency.

 

Our pricing is competitive and fair, grounded in Hagerty’s trusted Classic Car Price Guide, saving you money compared to traditional dealerships. We believe in straightforward, no-haggle pricing, so you can enjoy a clear, no-surprises experience without the stress of auctions or private sales.

 

When you buy from The Forge, you’re not just purchasing a classic car—you’re joining our extended family.

 

Each car we offer is carefully handpicked, often sourced from fellow enthusiasts who share our values. Before any vehicle reaches our showroom, it undergoes an independent inspection, an MOT if needed, and professional detailing, ensuring it’s in prime condition and ready for its next journey.

 

We fully own every car in our collection. This structure guarantees the integrity of every transaction and demonstrates our commitment to quality.

 

Although original manufacturer warranties aren’t possible due to these cars’ age, we take immense pride in presenting each car in excellent condition, free from known faults upon delivery. We inspect each vehicle thoroughly, document any repairs, and include invoices for parts and labor in the car’s history file. If a service is warranted by mileage or time, we’ll at minimum perform an oil and filter change with OE/OEM parts, which is also noted in the car’s records.

 

Upon collection or delivery, we record the mileage and provide a 3-month/500-mile warranty (whichever comes first). Should any issues arise beyond standard wear-and-tear, given the car’s age, please reach out to us directly—we’ll do our utmost to assist.

 

Classic cars are timeless machines with intricate components that may occasionally need attention. Embracing a classic means accepting these quirks and savoring the open-road journeys that make them feel as exhilarating today as they did decades ago—whether that’s 20, 30, or even 40+ years in the making.​
