As a boy growing up with a car dealer father I never really stood a chance. As far back as I can remember I would pretend to drive his cars, adorn my plastic tool belt & work on them too. Some of my earliest memories are playing games with my brothers & sisters on the back seat of any number of T series Bentley's or sleeping on the lambswool over rugs in the back of a Phantom VI, usually on our way to a car show. There was always something new & exciting for me to explore & learn & put my jam covered finger prints on - sorry Dad.
Once old enough I would work in his business during the holidays, learning the trade & loving every second of it. Mechanically I learnt the basics fairly easily although complex diagnosis & troubleshooting was and still is not my forte. Instead I loved, & was pretty good at detailing, preparing a car to the absolute nines, sparing no material, dismantling interiors to clean areas otherwise unseen, polishing and washing and polishing again. I learnt I'm happiest perfecting a car, however long it takes, never satisfied upon completion and never really finished.

After graduating boarding school I was straight into university to read Politics & International Relations, naturally after 3 weeks I'd decided I didn't need free periods for studying & found my first job selling second hand cars. Cutting my teeth in the madness of the mass market motor trade affirmed a resilience I still rely on today and allowed me the opportunity to learn how to sell cars away from the family cradle. It was hilarious fun too, it seemed to me the main requisite for earning employment was bundles of characterful charm & epic story telling ability.
My second graduation left me with a second class honours degree in Politics & International Relations. Accordingly and after the prescribed period of wasted time, I spent a year working in asset finance, with a particular focus on the best asset CARS. A year well spent, learning the intricacies of automotive & asset finance left me with a knowledge, understanding & network I utilise today for the benefit of my customers. I missed the metal, & once again was back in the family bosom this time deploying all I'd learned hitherto to buy & sell classic cars.
