WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.. 

Retro Custom was established in 2001 by Larry Stockford offering a range of custom designed and manufactured parts and accessories which were exhibited on show vehicles which Larry built. The success of these vehicles led to many requests by customers for electrical, lowering and mechanical services as well as general service work, so Retro Custom successfully branched out and in 2007 a permanent workshop premises was opened to the public.

Following the success of the workshop after only 7 months of opening, in early 2008 Retro Custom moved to a much larger and better equipped 2,400 sq ft premises which allowed an increase of the number of cars at the workshop in order to reduce booking waiting times. 

In early 2014, Retro Custom expanded further and moved to a new and significantly larger 9000 sq ft premises which allowed maintained vehicle storage to be offered to customers. 

At well as offering a comprehensive range of workshop services, Retro Custom are still constantly developing new and exciting products, with over 120 new products currently under development for future release.
