About
Built on one drive in a white Fiesta XR2i
Lisa Hamilton has spent more than ten years in the motor industry, and the hook was set early: one drive in a white Ford Fiesta XR2i and the obsession never left.
Classic Car Runway is that obsession turned into a service. A female-owned concierge sourcing house that finds rare classic cars and authentic parts across the globe — inspected in person, negotiated honestly, and shipped to your door.
The signature line is Africa. Dry climates across Southern Africa and Ghana preserved bodyshells that European weather destroyed decades ago. Lisa's network on the ground finds them, documents them and brings them home.
She's also a mother of two — so she knows the value of a straight answer and a plan that doesn't waste anyone's weekend.
What we stand by
Three rules of the runway
01
Honesty before the deposit
Condition reports, cold-start videos and the flaws in plain sight. You should know a car better than its seller does before you commit.
02
Cars are personal
A mother of two who fell for a Fiesta XR2i doesn't judge anyone's dream car. Whatever the badge, if it matters to you, it matters to us.
03
The long way round is the job
The right car is rarely nearby. We go where the metal is good — often a dusty yard three flights and a ferry away.
The Africa focus
Rust is the death sentence of the classic car world — and dry heat is the pardon. Our South African and Ghanaian projects start with structurally honest shells, which means restorations that begin with building up, not cutting out.
Why African classics rust less
