Fender-Broad Classic Cars
Our appreciation of the historic cars we buy, restore, sell and love goes back to a time when they were not even considered particularly special or valuable. Our earliest memories are cars related.
Most businesses adopt a ‘strapline’ aimed at describing the business's focus and ethics in a very few words.
‘DRIVING APPRECIATION’ does that for Fender-Broad. The collector car world continues to evolve and change concerning cars in ‘fashion’ and what we choose to do with our cars. One of the fascinating things about the classic car market is that everybody has a different view of what is ‘best’ and how to use their cars if indeed they choose to use them. The market is so flexible and cosmopolitan that everybody is right! Whether you choose to keep your car in a garage or show it as a static exhibit you are right. Race, rally, hill climb or tour you are right. Use everyday or high days and weekends you are right. Neil and Angus can find the car for you and guide you to the best car for your requirements.
We are Coventry people by birth and car families going back 4 generations by our heritage. Today we are father and son and we come to the collector car world not as the engineers our father and grandfather were but as enthusiasts and racers with engineering sympathy and knowledge. Neil Fender is an FCA-accredited banker with expert knowledge of collector car finance. Angus Fender is a qualified engineer with a motorsport emphasis and we offer these skills to enable your driving appreciation to be track-based.
Our knowledge of the market is unsurpassed and our advice as part of your driving appreciation underpins the excellent service we provide and have done since 2008.
Neil’s entire family worked in the Coventry motor industry all their careers building cars for brands such as Alvis, Jaguar, Triumph, and Austin Healey. The stories his parents and grandparents used to tell about life in the fifties and sixties motor city fuelled his passion for cars and especially, but not exclusively Coventry built cars. If the adage ‘show me the boy aged 7 and I will show you the man’ is true it would have shown two small boys destined to enjoy motor cars.
Like Father like Son, Angus remembers observing his father’s and Grandfather’s passion for the Great British Sports Car. Having spent most of his childhood in the passenger seat, it was only a matter of time before Angus felt the urge to drive for himself. 15 years later, having competed in modern and historic racing machinery, Angus’ passion for all things automotive is just as it was as a little boy watching his father.
