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.

Fantastic store! Always enjoy popping in and in such a great location. Loads of parking and just off M5. The owner Ben is so friendly and always on hand to answer any questions. The shop has everything you could think of from hundreds of collectables, games, consoles, to clothing, decor and a garage full of cars! Definitely worth scheduling in some time to have a look..! :)

Ben is a great guy! The store is amazing and a real hit of nostalgia and emotions! He’s always eager to chat and talk to you about the history of things and his knowledge is great. He’s happy to appraise and give you information when asked. I’ve also messaged him over the past few days about acquiring one of his GBs and he has been very accommodating and helpful over Facebook messenger. A real solid retro games store that will be hard to be beaten on customer service. Thanks Ben! Can’t wait to grab one of your Gameboys off you in the coming days!

Amazing shop, proper takes you back to your childhood. My kids also love it there and it's a good way for them to get a glimpse into what life used to be like back in the 80s and 90s. Would definitely recommend going.
