Websites for classic and vintage vehicle dealers: your cars on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first
You already keep your cars up to date for the classic listing sites and auction houses. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to pass Google's real-visitor speed test, where a collector finds the car, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.
What it is like now
- Provenance and history sell the car, and your listings have four photos and a price.
- Collectors are worldwide and your site is written for the town.
- Sold cars disappear, taking your reputation with them.
What we build for classic dealers
- Long-form listings with history files, photo galleries and documents
- A permanent archive of sold cars as proof of what you handle
- Enquiries and viewing requests routed to you with the buyer's details kept private
- Multi-currency display for overseas collectors
What it looks like in practice
A classic dealer's stock is its provenance: history files, previous owners, restoration receipts. We build long-form listings with history, galleries and documents, a permanent archive of sold cars, and enquiries routed privately so the collector's details never sit on a portal. Multi-currency display, because half the buyers are overseas.
What a website costs for classic and vintage vehicle dealers
Most classic dealers need the Growth tier, from €10,000, delivered in 6 weeks, paid 40% to start, 40% at staging sign-off, 20% at launch. That includes your cars fed from your own system, a page per car, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, built to score 100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.
After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, SSL, daily backups, software updates, uptime and security monitoring, 2 hours a month shared between content edits and development (no rollover), a monthly report in plain English and a one working day response, month to month with 30 days' notice. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €175 and the free audit names them.
Typical ticket for a car in your trade is €20,000 to €500,000; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the classic listing sites and auction houses covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.
Questions classic dealers ask
- Each car has a story. Can the listing hold it?
- Yes. Long-form listings with sections for history, restoration, documents and provenance, written once and kept forever in the sold archive.
- Collectors want discretion.
- Enquiries go to you and only you. No portal, no public buyer details, and a private viewing request instead of a public form.
- Do sold cars disappear?
- No. They move to an archive with the price removed, which is your reputation in one place and ranks for every marque you have handled.
Faults we see most on classic dealers sites
Before anyone talks about a rebuild, the audit usually finds a few of these. Each has its own page with the fix and the fixed price, and none of them needs a new website.
- Slow to start loading · A half day to a day.
- Not built for phones · One to three days depending on the size of the site, or part of a rebuild.
- Website software behind on updates · A half day.
- Visitor tracking stopped years ago · A half day.
- Nothing measures your visitors · Two hours.
Check your own site first
Free, on screen in seconds. The faults a collector actually hits on your homepage, and what each one costs you.
Free, no call. The first findings come up in a few seconds and the full result in about half a minute. We load your site in a real mobile browser the way Google measures it, read your inner pages, your DNS, certificate, email records and sitemap, follow your stock list to the pages for the things you actually sell, and show you the three worst things on screen.
Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers
- Where is the work actually done?
- Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
- Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
- You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
- What happens on day 31?
- The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
- Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
- You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote. (The one exception is the monthly dealer plan, where the code passes to you when the 12-month minimum is complete.)
- What does Google's own speed test say about it?
- We build to score 100 on Google's mobile test and report the launch-day figure in writing; the final instalment is due when the written acceptance criteria are met, not on a score. ukcarimports.ie scored 88 on 10 October 2026 with real visitors passing all five Core Web Vitals. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site.
