The historic vehicle upholstery specialists first started back in 1999
A British classic car firm has collapsed into liquidation in another significant setback for the UK motoring sector. Awesome Classic and Custom, specialist historic vehicle upholstery experts based in Cambridgeshire, have encountered financial difficulties after 27 years of trading.
There has been no confirmation regarding potential redundancies at this stage. According to the London Gazette, the classic car firm appointed liquidators on May 29, with the announcement published in the early hours of June 3.
David Gerard Kirk has been named as the liquidator, and a Resolution for Winding-Up order and a Notice to Creditors have also been posted online.
The firm has previously worked on some pristine classics, including the Bentley MKVI and Porsche 911 Super Sport, reports the Express.
The statement read: “Creditors are required to prove their debts on or before June 30, 2026, by sending full details of their claims to the Liquidators at Kirks, 5 Barnfield Crescent, Exeter, EX1 1QT.
“Creditors must also, if so requested by the Liquidators, provide such further details or produce such documentary evidence as may appear to the Liquidators to be necessary.”
Awesome Classic and Custom operates from Fen Road, Pidley in Cambridgeshire, approximately 20 minutes from Huntingdon.
The company specialises in vehicle interiors, with their team available to restore and redesign the upholstery on classic motors.
Awesome Classic and Custom stated they “proudly work with a wide range of classic, custom, vintage, sports, and kit car owners”, guaranteeing that every type of vehicle receives a professional finish.
The firm works across all interior elements, from armrests, headrests and centre consoles through to more tailored components.
The company can completely overhaul vehicle dashboards with an array of distinctive designs, utilising materials such as Alcantara, leather, or faux leather. The business also operates a leather repair and care centre, pledging to restore any tired and worn leather interiors back to their former glory.
The company’s leather repair experts say they will “clean and soften cracked and scratched surfaces” before applying fresh colours.
Awesome Classic and Custom’s expertise extends beyond cars, with the business also fitting new upholstery for campervans and motorhomes.
