Ask anyone who has chased a particular classic and they'll tell you the same thing: the searching is its own obsession. The right car — correct year, the right spec, an honest history — turns up rarely, and rarely where you expect. So you check, and check again, across a dozen sites, dealers and auctions. And still, the best ones slip past before you've even seen them.
The hunt is half the joy and half the frustration. We're keeping the joy and removing the frustration.
The Classic Radar brings the whole market into one search and, more importantly, tells you the moment the right car appears — wherever it's listed. No more living in browser tabs. No more hearing about the one that got away. One dial for everything, and an alert the instant your car surfaces.
We're starting where the hunt runs hottest. The fast Ford world — the Escorts, Sierras and Cosworths that people wait years and travel miles for — is a community that knows these cars inside out, where being first to a clean, genuine example genuinely matters. It's also a world where clones and questionable histories make trust everything. Serve that community properly, earn its respect, and grow out across the wider classic landscape from there.
This isn't being built behind closed doors. It's being shaped in conversation with the owners, clubs and enthusiasts who'll use it — because the people who love these cars know better than anyone what a tool like this should be. If that's you, the best thing you can do is join the list and tell us what you'd want from it.
Be part of it from the start — and first to use it when it's live.
No spam, ever. Just one note when there's something worth seeing.
