How did you get into the Mini Scene?
Through my cousin John. His girlfriend at the time had a modified 1000cc Mini on 10" Cosmic alloys. It was slow but fun. We went on the London to Brighton Run and I witnessed some giant killing Minis on the way down, this showed me the true potential of the Mini once it has been modified!

List of Minis currently owned?
1970 Morris Mini MK3 - highly modified and super concours!!!

When did you start working for MiniWorld?
2000

Favourite Mini memory?
Winning car of the day at a prestigious classic and exotic sports car event in Kent with my old MK1 Arden 8-Port Mini. I was up against Ferraris, Aston Martins, Bentleys, Corvettes etc,. To be awarded at a non-Mini show was an honor and a real achievement. It made the 8 years it took to build all worth it. My current project is going to be even better so stay tuned!

What are your current Mini projects & what are their current progress?
1970 Morris Mini MK3. It is awaiting the ultimate road A-Series engine and gearbox to be fitted: AKM 7-Port, all-steel 1380cc, JKD 6-speed S/C dog engagement gearbox - all meticulously modified and built by the legend that is Peter Vickers. This is truly a one-of-a-kind engine both in terms of the components used and who has built it - awesome!
