Coaching & Mentoring

One-on-One Classic Car Coaching & Mentoring

Buying, owning, restoring or maintaining a vintage or classic car can be deeply rewarding — but it can also be confusing, expensive, and full of conflicting opinions.

A single wrong step or unreliable recommendation can cost you thousands.

That’s where our personalised one-on-one coaching and mentoring service comes in.

We don’t just hand you a generic plan or e-mail you some bullet points. Rather — we connect you with someone qualified, experienced and trustworthy.

We Don’t Give Advice — We Connect You with the Right People

The Vintage & Classic Car Hub does not directly provide technical or restoration advice.

Instead, we act as a bridge — we put you in touch with someone who can help. Someone who knows the challenges and quirks of classic cars from first-hand experience.

Through our network, we can connect you with:

    • Experienced marque specialists
    • Long-term classic car owners who’ve “been there, done that”
    • Restorers, engineers and tradespeople
    • People who have already solved the exact problem you’re facing

We have links to hundreds of specialists and experienced owners around Australia, covering a wide range of makes, models and eras — giving you access to the right person for the right job.

Why Paid Advice Is Better Advice

There’s plenty of “free advice” out there — forums, social-media groups, pub conversations.

But let’s be honest: free advice is often dodgy advice. It’s usually generic, out-of-date, based on a single person’s opinion, and given without understanding your car, your budget, or your goals.

Our mentors are people who care — classic car enthusiasts who’ve spent decades working on similar cars, solving similar problems.

Charging a modest fee ensures you get thoughtful, considered guidance from someone who values your time and knows what they’re doing.
