GRAEME HUNT LIMITED

What GRAEME HUNT LIMITED does

Graeme Hunt Limited is a privately held London classic and collector car dealership founded in October 2001 by Graeme Hunt, a 35+ year industry veteran and former Managing Director of Jack Barclay Ltd. The company sells curated pre-owned motorcars spanning 50+ marques from 1935 to 2020, with a stated bias toward Bentley, and operates from a single showroom at 1A The Garages, Coppock Close, Battersea (relocated from Kensington in 2019). Pricing ranges from approximately £12,750 to £575,000, with most inventory between £50,000 and £300,000. The firm also runs in-house restoration (including chassis-off work on Phantom III, Continental R/S Types, Daytona, and AC Cobra) and servicing/detailing from its mews facility, and is the exclusive UK agent for Belgian coachbuilder Belrose Classics for bespoke Bentley Specials. Ancillary lines include motoring art (paintings, bronze sculptures, scale models) and finance referrals via Classic & Sports Finance.

The business model combines one-time vehicle sales, project-based professional restoration services, ongoing servicing contracts, finance referral fees, and bespoke commissions through Belrose. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: customers visit the Battersea showroom by appointment, supported by an online inventory displayed in GBP, EUR, and USD, a newsletter, and event participation at Salon Prive, Goodwood Members Meeting, and Bentley Drivers Club events. Customer segments are persona-based — HNW classic car collectors and enthusiasts, investment-grade buyers seeking rare coachbuilt models, and bespoke build clients — with no enterprise or institutional clients disclosed. There is no proprietary technology stack; operations depend on craft expertise, the founder's network, and the dealership's 20+ year Central London reputation. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company maintains 1–10 employees.
