JD Classics has taken its first major step in international expansion, joining forces with Morris and Welford to open a new premier classic and sports car dealership in Newport Beach, California, in July 2017.
Miles Morris and Malcolm Welford have more than 50 years of combined service in the classic car world, having established their exclusive “Morris & Welford LLC” classic car brokerage in 2003. During this time, the principals have built an enviable reputation as specialist historic car consultants, acting for collectors across the globe.
Over $650m of deals brokered in the last ten years gives credibility to the team’s professionalism and to the trust their clients have in them —and it was this reputation for professionalism that also attracted Derek Hood, JD Classics’ founder, when he was considering JD Classics’ expansion to the USA.
“Miles and Malcolm are highly respected professionals in the classic car business. They are passionate about the cars, trusted by their clients and they both believe in delivering the highest level of quality. These traits are entirely consistent with the values JD Classics holds dear and I am delighted we have been able to join together in this new venture in Newport Beach” said Mr. Hood.
The new dealership will be located at 4040 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660. The team has brought together an initial collection of fine classic and sports cars, assembled from round the world, and are excited by the launch. For more information visit www.morrisandwelford.com
