About Us

Classic&Exotic is Ireland’s home for the rare, the iconic, and the downright beautiful machines that make this country’s motoring scene special. We’re built in Ireland, run in Ireland, and grown for the Irish community, from casual car lovers to serious collectors and everyone in between.

How It Started

The idea for Classic & Exotic sparked in the summer of 2023, born from the frustration of not having an Irish platform that truly celebrated the best cars in the country. A few months of building, designing, and late-night testing later, we went live in February 2024. Classic & Exotic was founded by James & James, two lifelong car addicts who have been organising Herbert Park Car Show since 2021 and spending far too much time around V6s, V12s, and everything in between.

Why We Built This

We wanted one place where: People could browse proper cars - classic, exotic, performance, rare. Dealers could showcase stock with a service level far above standard classified sites. Enthusiasts could feel part of a real community, not just another listing site. We didn’t want to replicate what’s out there. We wanted to raise the standard.

Our Mission

To showcase Ireland’s best cars, support Ireland’s car community, and offer a premium alternative to traditional classifieds. We’re ambitious... very. Classic & Exotic is only in its early chapters, and the future is bigger than anything on the road so far. We’re expanding the platform. We’re growing the community. And we’re building Ireland’s definitive home for everything classic, exotic, and high-performance. If you love cars, you belong here.
