About Classic Luggage Carriers
Welcome to Classic Accessories (UK). We are the first choice of supplier for high end classic and specialist car accessories, and we are dedicated to supplying the widest range of premium quality products, coupled with the highest levels of traditional customer service.
Our History
Our manufacturing business was originally established in 1965 by my late grandfather George Lyle, and has come a long way from its humble beginnings in London. Initially the company was formed to produce a range of motorcycle accessories, however in the 1970's it grew to serve wholesalers both in the UK and in Western Europe with an increasing array of products marketed under both our own 'Lylestyle' brand, and also under license using the genuine 'Suzuki' and 'Britax' brand names. My father took over the running of the company as chairman in 1980, and he went on to oversee the diversification of the business into car accessories. It was during the 1980's that the classic car accessory side of the business blossomed with the collaboration of the largest classic car club here in the UK.
Now in 2015, we are known as 'Classic Accessories UK', and we trade worldwide from our base in a beautiful rural area of the English countryside, having moved away from South London roots 20 years ago.
We are unique in that we have accumulated over 50 years worth of specialised tooling and equipment, not to mention the technical experience acquired over that time. Using jigs and templates from obsolete manufacturers we are able to accurately reproduce those classic items from the distant past, such as the 'low level folding' luggage rack for the 1954 MG TF, the 'Amco' style luggage racks from the 60's, and the works style Jaguar XK E type luggage rack also from the 1960's. Indeed it is these rarities that have become our speciality .
Should you choose to become a customer, then we hope you will enjoy using our products as much as our team enjoy producing and supplying them to you. If you have any questions or would like to make any comments, then please don’t hesitate to contact us using one of the email addresses below.
