Our Story
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND | SINCE 2014
Angloclassics was founded by Nick Wright.
Based in Auckland, Nick is the person behind the motorcycles, the workshop services, the parts and Angloclassics merchandise.
It began in 2014 with bringing classic British motorcycles home from the United States and grew from there, one bike at a time. Triumphs, Nortons and BSAs remain at the centre of it.
HOW IT BEGAN
One bike led to another
Back in 2014, Nick began bringing classic British motorcycles home from the United States. There was no grand plan behind it. It was about finding interesting bikes, getting them back to New Zealand and seeing them ridden, repaired or rebuilt.
The website came along as a place to keep a record of the motorcycles, show the work and list the occasional bike for sale. Triumph, Norton and BSA machines kept appearing, and they naturally became the main focus.
As more bikes passed through, the work around them grew naturally. Recommissioning, fault-finding, rebuilds and the parts needed to keep them going all followed from spending time with the motorcycles themselves.
2014

2022
Angloclassics took on a more settled shape, with workshop work becoming a bigger part of it.
Today
A steady mix of completed bikes, workshop services, selected parts and Angloclassics merchandise.
WHAT ANGLOCLASSICS HAS BECOME
Still built around the bikes
Importing became less central over time, while the motorcycles themselves, the workshop work and everything that grew around them became the main focus.
The motorcycles
Completed bikes, motorcycles for sale and Nick's own projects remain at the centre of Angloclassics. They are where it started and still the biggest part of it.
Workshop services
Recommissioning, repairs, fault-finding and more involved rebuilds, with each job approached according to the bike and what it actually needs.
Parts
A selected range of parts and useful workshop items for the Triumph, Norton and BSA motorcycles Angloclassics works with.
Merchandise
Angloclassics shirts, hoodies and other merchandise designed around the same old British motorcycles.
WHY THESE BIKES
Still centred on Triumph, Norton and BSA
The main interest remains British motorcycles of the 1960s and 1970s, particularly Triumph, Norton and BSA twins and triples. Standard restorations, riders, unfinished projects and lightly modified bikes all have a place.
They do not need to be perfect. Some are restored, some are riders, and some arrive with a long list of jobs still ahead.
Angloclassics has grown, but the motorcycles are still the reason for it.
For Nick, the best part remains seeing a tired, incomplete or forgotten bike return as something that starts, rides and has a future.
