Welcome to Southern Cars
Classic and Sports Cars Since 1963 – Classic Car storage available in our Cheshire premises
After 60 years in the business we’re retiring…
…but we’re not going quietly; please follow us on the Wheels & Deals podcast where we take a look back at the motoring industry from the 60’s through to the 90’s. Together, we share stories, characters, and the quirky businesses that made this period so special.
Since the early 1960’s Ian Grange was dealing cars in Stockport & Manchester and in 1971 formed Ian Grange Ltd. We’ve gone on to successfully sell an impressive list of classic and sports cars worldwide, based from Red Lion Autos, Handforth Hall, Gulfstream Motors in Florida and more recently Southern Cars in Manchester and Oldtimermanchester, with the second generation taking over in 2018.
