Paul Michaels

Spear’s Review

Hexagon Classics specialises in Porsches, along with Ferraris and Aston Martins.

Founded by Paul Michaels in 1963, with a classic car sales room on London’s Great North Road and a sales and restoration department in East Finchley, its longevity is down to the quality of the cars. ‘The number one rule is: buy the best that you can afford,’ he says. ‘We have only ever tried to supply the best, never the cheapest, and we’ve always been lucky to deal with really good cars.’

Michaels points to lower demand for ‘marginal’ marques as a salutary lesson in buying the finest you can. ‘There is a massive gap between prime and not so prime,’ he concludes.
