About Classic Hangar
Based in Norfolk, Classic Hangar is led by David Hyatt, whose background spans Aviation engineering, Formula 1 and high-value classic car collections. After training at Marshalls of Cambridge, David spent a decade with the Benetton and Renault F1 teams, contributing to two World Championships.

He later managed a major classic and supercar collection in Bahrain, gaining expert knowledge in sourcing, valuing and acquiring rare investment-grade vehicles.
With hands-on experience in full bare-shell restorations, David brings a unique blend of engineering precision and collector insight — the foundation of Classic Hangar.
