At Analogue Motoring, we believe old cars belong out on the B-roads, not locked away as velvet-roped garage queens. We steer clear of the sterile, over-restored show ponies and trailer-pampered investments. Our passion lies in tracking down proper, honest, usable motors—cars with great bones that are mechanically sorted enough to drive home from the ferry. We want you to have a classic with enough gentle patina and weekend jobs left to make it your own rolling restoration. We handle the gritty work of global sourcing, poking around sills with a magnet, and sorting the import logistics, leaving you with a classic that’s ready for a Sunday morning blast.
The Rolling Project
We hunt down mechanically sorted classics that beg to be driven. Take it out, enjoy the smell of warm oil and Connolly leather, and tackle the cosmetic tinkering on your own schedule.
Proper Metal
A usable classic is only as good as its chassis. We get underneath and inspect the expensive bits—bulkheads, floorpans, and jacking points. We're looking for honest, rot-free metal, not shiny paint hiding a multitude of sins.
No-Nonsense Importing
From unearthing forgotten barn finds on the Continent to sorting the dreaded paperwork and shipping, we handle the cross-border headaches so you can just focus on the drive.
Real-World Figures for Proper Drivers
Most buyers assume putting a classic on the drive demands auction-house money or endless dealer markups. By unearthing solid, running survivors directly across the Channel or out in the UK provinces, we sidestep the speculative premium entirely.
Importing a classic into Singapore does require navigating the LTA Classic Vehicle Scheme, but it offers massive savings compared to modern imports. You only pay 10% of the Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) for your COE, and flat annual road tax is just S$280.
We believe in complete transparency. Our "On the Road" figures don't just stop at taxes—they include the nitty-gritty compliance costs that other importers conveniently leave out, such as LTA testing (VITAS), inspection centre fees, the base S$350 registration fee, your In-Vehicle Unit (IU/OBU), and getting your classic plates stamped and mounted.
