About us:
Second Chance Classics was born out of a passion for classic & retro cars.
After working on a TV show & for various other companies, we felt the need to go it alone. Since then we’ve gone from strength to strength & are now expanding the business.
Continuing to work for TV shows & high end clients, we need your expertise to help us achieve that.
