Welcome to Automobilia Magpie. Where a lifelong love of motoring heritage has evolved into a thriving home for collectors and enthusiasts of classic automobilia, petroliana and motoring memorabilia.
Automobilia Magpie was born out of one man’s obsession with the sights, smells and stories of motoring’s golden age. For as long as he can remember, our founder has been fascinated by the design, colour and craftsmanship of old enamel signs, oil cans, petrol pumps and garage artefacts. The everyday objects that once defined the romance of the open road.
What started as a hobby, hunting down forgotten treasures at autojumbles, garage clear-outs and auctions... Slowly grew into something much bigger. Over time, our collection grew and that passion turned into Automobilia Magpie, a full-time business dedicated to preserving and sharing these remarkable finds.
Today, Automobilia Magpie sources, restores and supplies a wide range of vintage automobilia. From rare enamel signs and oil cans to petrol globes, workshop tools and advertising displays.
