Preserving Legends. Restoring Passion
At Hawkesbury Classic and Performance, classic cars are more than machines — they’re pieces of history, symbols of craftsmanship, and sources of pride. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, we’ve dedicated ourselves to restoring and refining the world’s most iconic vehicles with unmatched attention to detail, heritage, and heart.
Our journey began with a simple love for vintage motoring and the artistry behind every curve, panel, and engine. Over the decades, that passion has evolved into a full-service restoration workshop where precision craftsmanship meets modern performance upgrades, and where every car is treated as a unique legacy.
