About us
I have an obsession with cars, particularly cars from the 80s, 90s, group B rally cars and the Hot hatchback. This has been constant with me since the age of 15, when I would just sit at the side of the road watching cars drive past, I remember the feeling of excitement of one day having my own car. After leaving School I pursued an apprenticeship with VW Audi group which is where my passion accelerated. I remember buying my first GTI, a Volkswagen mark 1 Golf GTI in Lhasa green. Whilst in my care, I returned it to an original example, replacing worn parts and generally giving it some love and attention. When I came to sell, it was a much better example and demanded a higher selling price. After my apprenticeship, I decided to join the Military and served out in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even whilst on operations and deployments I was researching and learning about cars for my next project.
Generally my cars have always improved whilst in my care, I have a talent of knowing what needs doing to improve the look, condition and performance of a car. This theme has followed me with every car I have owned, and it has done me well. Not only have I saved some cars from the scrap heap but I've actually made money by doing it.
I bought a tired Ford Escort RS Turbo. This car needed TLC and was poorly modified but I could see past the issues.
Once in my care I again returned to an original example with some tasteful modifications. I nearly doubled the selling price after my work and put an iconic car back on the road.
Whilst I won't talk about every car I have owned, (I have stories to tell for most of them). I will list some that I have had the pleasure of owning.
Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000
