Hexagon has been selling classic and sports cars for nearly 50 years and its latest venture, HEXAGON CLASSICS, represents a return to a market in which it has significant unmatched experience. Started in 1963 by chairman Paul Michaels, Hexagon is now one of the largest and most established BMW dealerships in the UK. However, exotic road and race cars have always been a passion for Hexagon.
In the early Seventies, Hexagon increased its commitment to older, classic cars and opened a new classic car restoration department at Highgate. With the dealership’s continued success in London, it then established HEXAGON RACING and raced D-Type Jaguars and Formula 5000. In 1972 Hexagon Racing ventured into Formula One with driver John Watson. John finished 4th in Austria and finished with six points in the team’s only F1 season – and probably on the equivalent of 10% of the catering budget of the current F1 newcomers!
Other successful Hexagon drivers include Richard Atwood, Bob Evans, Derek Bell, Brian Henton, Carlos Pace and Gerry Marshall, who won the last ever race at Crystal Palace in 1972. Over the years, Hexagon has traded just about every type of Porsche, Jaguar, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo and Bentley – plus numerous truly exotic models such as the Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, DB3S Coupé and the Ogle-designed Aston Martin DBS V8.
Today, Paul together with Daniel Donovan and Jonathan Kaiser who run the sales operation of HEXAGON CLASSICS, have over 100 years experience in selling the finest classic road and race cars ever. They and their sales teams have supplied cars to customers all over the world and their combined expertise and unrivalled contacts mean that if the car you want is not actually in stock, they can source and supply.
With this level of experience and a strong resource base underpinning the business, you can be sure that dealing with Hexagon Classics is a straightforward and enjoyable process. Due to strong sales activity, we urgently require exceptional cars, similar to those we sell. We are also happy to consider modern cars in part exchange for cars we hold in stock. Some of the interesting cars Hexagon has traded over the years, including a few historic race cars, are shown in the gallery opposite. Of course, some of the cars we now call historic weren’t ‘historic’ then – they were just racing cars.
