I once drove an MGA in 1984 and fell in love with the feeling of driving a classic British car and bought my own first British sport classic in 1986. It was an Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 that I had restored and then lost in a house fire. Years went by and after a TR6, a new Porsche 911 and raising two kids, the time was right to go back to what I have always loved doing. I bought the 1960 Austin Healey in 2012 and brought it up to a real beautiful driving condition through a major restoration but not frame off. I found the Jaguar in 2014 and pretty much did the same kind of restoration. This car had sat in a garage for most of the previous 22 years.

Captain, US Navy (Retired), 26 years active duty, 3 commands afloat. Taught high school math and physics. Organized and ran Challenger Races for America's Cup in 1992 and 1995 in San Diego, and 2000 in New Zealand.

After traveling over the world for a German company for more then 11 years I decided to start my own company. the up side is, that now I have my company up and running, I have time on my hands to finaly buy a proper car again! I enjoy driving it as much as I do working on it. In fact, right now it is reduced to a lot of parts in boxes..... Cant wait to take it on the road again next year (if all goes well) we have planned a trip trough Germany, France, Switserland, Italy and back trough Austria, Germany and home again (Holland) Good trip to try out that 5-speed on the German Autobahn and have some fun with the beemers!
