Introduction

Tom Hardman Limited (THL) has been selling vintage and pre-war sport and racing cars in the Shadows of Stonyhurst College near Clitheroe since 2010. Specialists in a subject close to Tom’s heart, having grown up surrounded by vintage machinery from an early age. Throughout Tom’s formative years the family’s only car was a vintage car, a trusty steed that he remembers delivering him to school every day and even to his first day of gainful employment. Since the early days, THL has been blessed in its aim to build a strong network of clients both on home soil in England and internationally. We are very proud of the good reputation THL enjoys amongst its clients, who happily recommend our services and us to their friends, colleagues and fellow enthusiasts.

How it Started

Tom’s own interest in historic cars was ignited by a chance visit to VSCC Prescott in the early 1990s. Once the seed was planted, this interest grew and grew, and led to Tom finally fulfilling his ambition to compete in a vintage car in 2001 at the annual VSCC Prescott Hill Climb, in a car which he had largely built himself following the passing of his father, Philip Hardman, in 1998.Tom made an instant name for himself on track at this first foray in his Austin 7, which was known as the B&Q Special.

Following a change of occupation in 2004, a potent Frazer Nash Supersport soon joined the Austin 7. Tom spent the next couple of years racing both cars until a track accident in 2007 during testing, the evening before the VSCC’s annual Cadwell Park meeting. After a long road to recovery, Tom returned to work where he met his now-wife Helen. Helen quickly caught the vintage motoring bug and instantly entered Prescott in the now repaired infamous B&Q Special. With personal circumstances changing for the better and a wedding on the horizon, the Frazer Nash was sold, and in May 2010, Tom left employment to pursue his passion full-time. In the October of that year, Tom Hardman Limited was incorporated.
