Welcome to Eclectic Cars, a company that is the fusion of a life long passion for driving classic cars and years of experience in the retail motor industry. We aim to combine the professional standards of prestige manufacturers, where we learnt our trade with the approachable attitude of the best specialists to give our clients outstanding customer service and a great buying experience. Our never ending quest for exceptional vehicles means that those you find for sale here have that little something extra that makes them special.
The vehicles we sell are a few years old, which in automotive terms means they have been around a bit. Just like us humans they may show traces of previous activities and most will require a little care and attention as they get older. We spend a great deal of time and effort, choosing, testing and preparing our stock. Over the last few years we have developed relationships with several marque specialists who help us to maintain the high quality of our cars, their details can be found on the Driver Resources page or by following the link.
We hope our website offers you comprehensive, factual information on all our vehicles, so you are informed and confident in the purchase you make but the easiest way to find out what excites us about our stock is to come and visit. As good as the internet gets nothing beats seeing the vehicles in the metal and, of course, getting them out on the open road.
We see clients by appointment only and keep opening times flexible to suit you, our customer. We are, however, available on the phone between 9 am and 8 pm so please feel free to call for more information or to make an appointment.
Stuart Kilvington - Acquisitions, Preparation and Sales
Stuart spends most of his life attached to a hands free kit racing around the countryside seeking out new vehicle for us to market and building close working relationships with our suppliers and marque specialists. Before founding the company with Simeon he worked as a buyer for a large BMW chain and has an almost forensic eye when it comes to checking out classic cars. He has a particular love for old Citroens and air cooled VW's but has to admit that the longer he is involved with Eclectic the more expensive his tastes get!

Simeon Cattle - Sales, Website, Marketing and Brand Development
Simeon is almost always at Eclectic HQ and as the second director is mainly charged with making sure that our stock is marketed and the website content is up to date. He started working with classic and racing cars after leaving school at Chevron Cars in Dorset, moving into sales in his early twenties. Like Stuart he spent seven years working in the BMW dealer network before deciding to get back to his first love, classic cars.

Sid Smith - Admin, Logistics and Downloads
As a long time friend it was a very happy day when Sid joined us at Eclectic HQ. He has spent many years working in main dealers organising and preparing their used car stock to a very high standard. He checks through the histories of our vehicles, gets them from one site to another and makes sure the invoices end up paid! He also develops all our downloads and keeps our facebook page up to date.
Richard Percival - Acquisitions and Events
Over the last year Richard has spent more and more time at Eclectic Cars until all of a sudden we realised we had a new member of staff! He has owned and run a number of businesses over the years and with a passion for classic cars he helps Stuart with finding new stock and has a particular ability in throwing good parties, we look forward to a full year of events hopefully starting at this years Festival of Speed at Goodwood.
