The Start Of It All
It started with a single 1927 Ford
Model T as my fathers hobby in 1973. The hobby soon expanded to include the 1927 Ford Touring, a 1922 Ford Doctors Coupe, a 1926 Ford coupe with a turtle deck, a 1927 Ford Town Car we built
and a 1953 Ford F-150 to pull the trailer. All of these vehicles were restored by us.
While most boys were playing little league or delivering news papers. I was learning to wet sand, color buff and handle mechanical repairs.
We were approached to restore a MG Midget and found it to take up less room in the shop when apart and way more fun to drive at speed.
Our collection soon expanded to include a MGB, a Jaguar XKE roadster, a Triumph Spitfire, a TR 250, a TR6, a TR7, and a TR8. We were now fully hooked on the British sports car scene.
My father and I started Automotive Artistry in 1985 specializing in the British marque ranging from 1947 to 1980. We have been lucky to be able to do what we love. My father has now passed, but I carry on his tradition of old world craftsmanship.
I currently drive a 1959 Austin Healey BN6 and ride a 1971 Norton Commando, as well as my 1967 305 Honda CL77 that I have had since I was sixteen.
