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 retro store experience unlike any other! Ben has curated a fantastic collection of games, memorabilia, toys and cars. It was a great trip down memory lane with some lovely items, reasonable pricing and a good chat about all things retro too!

We will be returning whenever we are nearby and I’d happily recommend this to any and all retro enthusiasts.

Proud and impressed by Ben's dreams come true. Trigger some good memories and nostalgia and go browse items you thought you'd never see again. Ben's knowledge extends from childhood collectibles to classic cars and more. Looking forward to more car meets in the future!

Fantastic shop, you could easily lose hours in here looking at all the retro toys, games, tvs, and even cars from your younger years. The owner is a very friendly, knowledgeable, and chatty  guy who made me feel welcome. A must visit place, one you will be hard pushed to leave without purchasing something .

A fantastic shop to visit, full of retro, nostalgic goodness. Lots to see and buy such as retro video games, consoles, toys, classic cars and much more.
Just walking around the shop gave me great memories of the action figures and video games I used to have as a kid.
The owner Ben is really friendly, knowledgeable and helped me with what I was looking for.

Thank You Ben / Retro Sect
