Welcome to Phil Mires Classic Cars, where a lifelong appreciation for the classic Mini sits at the heart of everything we do. Founded by Phil Mires, the business began with a passion for helping cherished Minis continue their journey with new owners who understand what makes them so special.
We specialise in sourcing carefully selected classic Minis from across the UK, offering well-kept examples full of character and charm. Every car is chosen with enthusiasts in mind - ready for its next chapter with someone who truly appreciates it.
Phil Mires Classic Cars sits alongside PM Antiques & Collectables - an online destination for buying and selling antiques, art, automobilia and collectables.
Phil has been passionate about collectables and classic cars for as long as he can remember. After college, he began his career in the antiques world, gaining valuable hands-on experience through auction houses and developing a real feel for what gives something lasting appeal.
In 2014, aged 19, Phil founded PM Antiques & Collectables, built on the belief that discovering unique pieces from the past should be easy, accessible and enjoyable. In 2021, he brought that same passion to the world of classic cars, with a particular focus on the iconic Mini. Today, Phil helps enthusiasts reconnect with the charm, nostalgia and simple joy of classic motoring - ensuring these remarkable cars continue their journey with new custodians who truly appreciate them.
"There's something special about a classic Mini - the charm, the character, the nostalgia. I often hear from customers who are rediscovering their youth through the purchase of a Mini, making them reminiscent of their very first driving experiences. Every Mini has its own journey, and I’m proud to play a small part in connecting these remarkable cars with people who truly appreciate them."
DavidFrom the first enquiry email to Phil, up until collection of the Mini, he has been the ultimate professional! Every stage Phil has been patient, informative and courteous. The sale of my Mini was emotionally challenging but Phil was incredibly supportive and made the sale the easiest it could be! Without a doubt, an excellent buyer.
JonathanI was looking for a Mini for over a year and nearly fell in some pit holes along the way, but then I saw a Mini at Phil Mires Classic Cars, and this is when I met Phil. From start to finish he has made the whole experience what it should be when buying a Mini; fun and informative.
NickI have just sold my Mini to Phil. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Very knowledgable. Extremely efficient and speedy transaction. Money transfer very quick and car picked up within two days. The best stress free sale of a car I have ever done. Thank you Phil.
