Description:
Coming from an Automotive background, both business and pleasure. I have run and turned around many main dealerships and the UK.
I then went on to start up my own specialist classic car company in the UK specializing in classic Jaguar E-types back in 2005.
In 2012 started up a sister company in California and I have been running that company since that time.
There has been a strong move towards 70's/80's classic resto mods. Cars that are built to to retain the original styling but with a modern take and with many modern built in features such as: programable engine management, modern transmission, modern air conditioning, keyless entry and so on.
Top achievers in this field are companies like Singer Vehicle design and Rod Emory who have proved to be very successful and have a built reputation for producing the best cars in their field. The money they command can be up to 10X more than the average restored car of their kind.
I am looking for investment to grow my Jaguar E-type Custom builds. In addition I will be starting a sales showroom focusing on two specialist car brands. The funds would be used for buying new stock and therefore the investment will be protected by the tangible assets purchased with the funding.
