introduction
Who Am I?
Hi, I'm Harry Taylor. My passion for cars began over 50 years ago, around the age of 12. By 14, I was already involved in stock car racing, and at 16, I started my career as an apprentice mechanic at Charles Hurst in Belfast. In 1982, we launched our own business, Botanic Garage, and in 1993, we relocated to Newtownards, operating as Ards Auto Exchange until we sold the business in 2002.

As my personal collection of classic cars grew, I often found myself being offered more cars than I could realistically keep. Recognising an opportunity to share these classics with fellow enthusiasts, the idea for a business began to take shape. Cherryvalley Cars and Classics was founded to connect people with the joy and experience of owning classic cars.

09/11/2024Before You Buy
The term "Classic Car" often brings to mind perfectly restored show cars, but the reality is usually more complex. Most are owned and maintained by enthusiasts, and will come imperfections and the need for ongoing care. A daily driver for one person might be a project car for another, and acceptable flaws vary. Buying a classic car requires careful consideration of both current condition and future maintenance costs.

After You Buy
After you buy, be prepared for ongoing care, maintenance, and repairs. Owning a classic car is a hobby, and like most hobbies, it involves a continuous investment of time and money. But don't let this put you off—it’s all part of the enjoyment of owning a piece of automotive history.
