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.

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.

Certainly give this place a visit if you got a few hours spare! From Daihatsu Man

Visited for first time on Saturday. What a brilliant little place. Full of awesome stuff to suit all age groups. I picked up a lovely little period radio for my classic car as a prop for when at shows. Had no idea the owner was Ben who i know from another place so great to see him again and i wish him every success in his new venture. Already looking forward to the next visit.👍

Absolutely awesome little retro shop! I was in awe all the time I spent there. If you love the 80s and you are looking for VHS, cassettes, retro games or retro tech you are at the right place here. Ben the owner was super friendly and helpful.
