ABOUT OUR DEALERSHIP

Birkshire Automobiles… the name resonates with English class and sophistication. This is exactly the type of environment that Owner Sam Sehota wanted to exhibit when he first opened the doors of this thriving Thornhill dealership. Focusing on the specialized field of British automobiles including the highly respected Jaguar, this dealership has become the largest independent specialty shop in all of Ontario.

Birkshire Automobiles has its roots deeply embedded into the British landscape having begun in 1971 in London, England. After moving operation to Canada in 1979, Birkshire settled into its current location in 1991 at 73 Green Lane. Since then, Birkshire has provided its customers with exceptional sales and service of all British makes and models solely including Jaguar, MGB, Triumph, Austin Mini, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Land Rover.

Birkshire operates in a renovated facility that includes a ten-vehicle, pre-owned indoor showroom. Here one can find classic Jaguars from 1990 onwards and the new generation models to 2006. In total, Birkshire contains a pre-owned inventory of approximately 40 exclusive British vehicles. Their specific area of expertise, Jaguar is embedded in their logo as they are commonly known as “Jaguar Specialists.” Extremely knowledgeable of the ins and outs of British vehicles, their four service bays and accompanying technicians are all highly trained in British automotive proficiency.

Birkshire is not only knowledgeable about Jaguar. They have a deeply embedded passion about the British automaker as their customer-waiting lounge is sure to profess.
