Nostalgic Motoring Ltd

Nostalgic Motoring Ltd. is a collector car dealer and restoration shop in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The company says it buys, sells, restores and consigns collectible vehicles in the United States and internationally, with a particular enthusiasm for Cobra replicas and the 1948 Tucker. Its stock is small, about six vehicles in early October 2026, and it works largely by appointment.

Who they are

The company describes itself as a group of collector and classic car enthusiasts that specializes in rare and unusual cars marking milestones in automotive history. Its website has been online since at least January 2014, according to Internet Archive captures, though no founding year is confirmed in the sources reviewed. Third-party profiles, including a podcast biography and the Tucker Automobile Club's registry, identify Mark Lieberman as president. The podcast bio says he bought the first of five Tuckers in 1991 and holds advisory and archive roles with the Tucker club, while the company's own site says its owner has owned, restored and sold several Tuckers. The site also lists Jeff Grice as its Cobra specialist, and says he has been in the Cobra replica community for more than 20 years and leads the Great Lakes Cobra Club.

What the company does

Nostalgic Motoring is not a high-volume lot. Its site lists these services: buying collector cars, consignment sales, vehicle locating, auction representation, parts sales and fabrication, consulting and collection liquidation. It also says it is a licensed repair facility whose technicians service the cars it sells, and it offers detailing at three levels, from a standard detail to multi-stage paint correction. It says it has handled the sale of collections of more than 350 cars, a figure that is the company's own.

What it sells

The current listings are a mix: a 1957 Ford Thunderbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro RS, a 1972 Corvette LT1, a BMW Isetta, a 2022 Ford GT, and a turbine-powered MTT superbike. The site also lists Backdraft Cobra replicas and MTT motorcycles among its products, and a section on Tucker 48 automobiles, parts and restoration. Classics are the core of the business, but some of the stock is modern, so check each listing's year before assuming a car fits a vintage-only search. Prices on the homepage included $42,500 for the Thunderbird and $71,900 for the Corvette, with several cars listed as call for price.

Selling and consigning

Owners can sell a car outright, consign it, or have it taken to auction. The company says it markets consigned cars internationally and domestically, and that it can take cars to auction through an affiliation with a firm it names as Classic Cars LLC. It does not publish commission rates or fees online, so those should be settled in a written agreement before a car changes hands. For general background, our explainer on how classic car consignment works lists the points owners usually negotiate. Owners with several cars can ask about its collection liquidation service, and buyers can ask about vehicle locating, where the company says it will find, inspect and evaluate a specific car.

Buying and shipping

The pages reviewed do not set out a buying process, deposit terms, financing or shipping arrangements, so those details have to come from a conversation. The testimonials on its homepage include a Shelby GT500 buyer in Canada who bought a car without seeing it first, which suggests remote purchases do happen, but those are the company's chosen quotes. As with any dealer, ask for the title status, extra photos and an independent inspection before sending funds, particularly on a rare or restored car.

Reputation

No Better Business Bureau profile for the company turned up in searches. On Birdeye, the business has 5.0 stars from 22 reviews, all taken from Google, though the reviews shown are a year or more old. A small, unclaimed profile like this is a useful signal but not a full picture, so ask the company for references from recent buyers or consignors if the purchase is a large one.
