Classic Tracker began in 2016 and has grown to a become a respected business protecting all manner of classic cars. We are recognised by several leading classic car insurance companies. Our service seeks to protect the emotional and sentimental investment we make in our cars. Hence the reason we offer a self-install solution, which provides the owner with real-time telemetry, live location data and remotely controlled vehicle immobilisation. Classic Tracker is run by Nick McNamara, who is a passionate classic enthusiast, having owned numerous classics including, Jaguar E & F Types, Triumph TRs, MGs, Land Rover Series and Defenders. We all remember our first car; Nick's was a 1957 Morris Minor!
To Thatcham or Not To Thatcham - Several years ago we started sourcing trackers for our own classics. What we found was that the greater majority of available trackers were 'Insurance Trackers', the installation of which would involve an unknown individual performing the installation without any knowledge or respect towards the preservation of a classic car wiring. Once upon a day, these installers were accredited by Thatcham Research, under the TRI scheme (Thatcham Recognised Installer). Thatcham discontinued the TRI scheme on 31st December 2018, which might suggest you are further risking the integrity of the installation into your classic. For more information on whether or not a Thatcham accredited tracker is right for you and your classic, please follow this link.
None of the truck & fleet management offerings were specific to owning a classic, nor were they interested in helping classic car & bike owners. Many of the auction-site products available were insufficient in their ability to proactively monitor, alert rapidly and engage a police-force in the event of theft if necessary.
To learn what we recognise as important factors, we produced the following: 8 Reasons Why Our Tracker is Classic
Since then, we've continued to build a respectful and solid tracking solution which leverages technology from the 21st century and allows it to benefit vehicles from a former era.
Thanks you for taking the time to read this. We look forward to meeting you at one of the many classic events which we participate in.
