The Ashtree Collection

Welcome to The Ashtree Collection, a prestigious car company based in the West Midlands specialising in the sourcing, sale, transportation and storage of high-end vehicles for discerning car enthusiasts and private collectors. Owned and operated by Simon Cassidy and Charles Bailey, the story behind our company is as unique as the vehicles we deal in. The initial idea Back in 2017 we were approached by Keith Ashworth to manage his extensive collection of classic cars. A self-made man, Keith had just sold his very successful business and was keen to take a step back from the corporate world to enjoy his retirement travelling the world with his wife Norah, pursuing their shared loved of Classic car rallies. Keith came to us first and foremost, because like him we are self-confessed petrol heads with a lifelong love for all things automotive and having worked alongside Keith for many years we were trusted to both manage and enhance the collection. The collection we took charge of was exceptional, built up over many years and comprising a range of highly prized and coveted cars. At one stage the collection included the original Lamborghini Miura, from the 1969 film The Italian Job, which Keith and a business associate had managed to track down in Paris in 2015 after 46 years of mystery surrounding its whereabouts. Since inception, we have worked hard to build and refine the collection; sourcing and acquiring new vehicles we knew Keith would want to own and identifying and selling vehicles we could see an obvious demand for – all whilst ensuring the overall value of the collection remained high. The Company Now Dealing with Keith’s collection has given us the privilege of meeting a vast array of both collectors and car enthusiasts. Offering exceptional quality and a superior service the business has naturally evolved from focusing purely on Keith’s collection to now acquiring and marketing cars for other collectors and enthusiasts. Our aim is to foster long lasting relationships and partnerships with like-minded people who share our passion about all things car!
