About

This is Retro Sect. Celebrating the love for pixelated, boxy, neon, experimental or anything that is now a nostalgic blast from the past, ideally with hints of brown, beige or orange too! Life is too short to buy or finance modern rubbish, so why not let me find you a slice of retro 80s and 90s history?

The showroom features some of the finest classic cars from the 1980s and 1990s, including unusual and exotic examples from Japan, Germany and France alongside retro daily driver and restoration projects.

In my retro shop you’ll find a wide range of the following:

Who is Retro Sect?

Retro Sect is the culmination of hobbies, interests and experiences of one man, me, Ben Stinson. I’m no 80s action or 90s cartoon hero, I’m just a child of the 80s on a mission to save, revive and find new custodians for all manner of retro ephemera.

If you’re looking for an exceptional 80s or 90s car, a piece of tech, video game, collectible toy or anything from the 80s and 90s that you simply would love to revisit, get in touch. I’m the nerd to help with your nostalgic needs.

A gem of a retro shop that brings back the memories of being a kid in the 70s and 80s.!

Great stock of games, stereos, clothes, toys and everything else that you can think of. Best thing is everytime I have been there has been new things to look at.

Coupled with the cars on show this is an ideal place for the retro gaming / retro car fan.

Tend to find myself there way too often and always just after payday!!

Just found out about this awesome 'hidden gem' of a shop this morning and was heading to Gloucester to pick up some N64 stuff so thought I would stop in en route. I'm ever so glad I did. This shop is quite litterally a pure tug on the nostalgia heartstrings! The owner (Ben) is so welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable and he does it all on his own!! With everything from Amiga to ZX spectrum I can assure you that you will find something here that either you were looking for, or were not. I litterally cannot go into what Retro-Sect has as there is so much. But, what I can say is this.... Where else can you go where you can get an obscure 80s 90s retro item (be it a NES game or a Boglin) and be able to view and (if you want to) buy a classic retro car at the same time??? Only here, that's where 👍🏻 Comes highly recommended. Great to meet you Ben and I will see you again soon no doubt. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing shop, if you were born in the 70s/80s it a walk down memory lane, from gameboys and megadrives (with a large assortment of games for all types of consoles) to boglins, starwars, vhs, the list goes on.
You have to go and see for yourself as it's a bit of an aladdins cave you never know what gem you will find.
I almost forgot to mention the cool cars in the next room.

A great little treasure trove of gaming hardware, software and retro memorabilia. Reasonable prices too.  Picked up a nice little Gameboy Color after chatting on Messenger with Ben.

Well worth a visit, just outside the centre of Tewkesbury so plenty of free parking! You won't regret it.
