SouthwellThe Classicwise Collection is a company formed by Sam Fretwell after he became unable to continue in his employment as a result of injuries sustained as the innocent party in a near fatal road accident in May 2012. Sam has grown up around classic cars and knows all about them as his father used to import rust-free European sports cars from California USA and also built up a successful Porsche 911 sales and service business in the 1990’s. Since leaving school in 2007 Sam worked for the family business Weonlymot.co.uk, initially on reception at the various branches, but then became one of the youngest people ever to become an authorised MOT tester, and then by the end of 2011 was promoted to Branch Development Manager. He had identified, equipped and just opened his first new weonlymot.co.uk branch in Grimsby and was on his way back from there to the Ollerton head office when he involved in the horrific accident. Calling upon his father’s experience in addition to that already amassed himself, Sam’s intention is to establish himself and his company in the classic car business offering initially classic car service and repair, alongside vehicle sales & brokerage. He hopes to be able to offer classic car storage and enclosed transportation as the business develops at Bypass Garage Epperstone. The Classicwise Collection are always interested in any classic vehicle from the early 1900’s to the 1990’s. The images to the right were taken in December 1997 the little chap is Sam. The late twice Le Mans Race winning team boss Tom Walkinshaw pictured taking delivery of his fully restored and upgraded ‘rubber-bumpered’ MGB from Sam’s father. Mr Walkinshaw had purchased this for his own father in law’s 70th birthday.
A Great usable example of a UK supplied right hand drive Triumph Vitesse.This is a manual car without overdrive first registered on 15th July 1970 as an original CV chassis code Vitesse convertible. this vehicle has had just 8 former keepers since new and is supplied today with a huge history file documenting the vehicles maintenance and ownership from new. This includes, maintenance and repair receipts, the original service book and hand book, old MOT documents & letters from former owners too! The car to this day remains in a very good useable condition. although there are minor age related marks in places the car remains rust free and ready to be used. It developed excellent smooth power from the 2 litre 6 cylinder engine which is delivered easily through the 4 speed manual gearbox too. The interior is smart and a pleasant place to sit with all the gauges are tell tales working as they should too. An additional oil pressure gauge has also been added under the passenger side of the dash board. The hood is also in great condition while also being equipped with a hood bag too. This car is essentially unrestored and so with all things considered it remains in very good condition due to the years of attention and upkeep. Supplied by us once the car has been health checked, service and MOT'd (even though it is exempt!) to give you piece of mind when you drive away ! Why not book a viewing, Our coffee pot is always hot!.
