Remember Eamonn Andrews’ big red book on the ITV biographical show This Is Your Life? My Classic Car Life is a digital version of that weighty tome for your classic car, a secure place where you can store all your important documents, images and anything else that tells the unique story of your head-turning vehicle.

Until now, such information has been stored in desk drawers, lever files, USB sticks, CD-ROMs or even lost, but keeping these details in the Swiss digital vault of My Classic Car Life – a data centre that is ISO27001-certified, the highest international information security standard – means that these gems of data can be called up instantly on your smartphone from wherever you are in the world.

With My Classic Car, each and every event is another milestone in the history of your classic car, which can add to its value. Here’s how it works…

Friends and enthusiasts

Launched in 2019, My Classic Car Life is the idea of lifelong friends and car enthusiasts Arnaud and Edouard, who regularly take part in motoring events. Their aim is to provide a user-friendly platform where collectors’ documents can be securely stored. All information is kept on the company’s servers and not in a shared cloud, and no details are passed to third parties.
