LAGUNA SECA HISTORICS 2026 - ARRIVING IN STYLE

 

We never need encouraging to visit California, especially when attending the wonderful Monterey Car week and the Laguna Seca Historic Festival. For 2026 , we were extremely touched to be offered a ride to the Laguna circuit in a fully restored 1940 Douglas Dakota, which was certainly more exciting than our hire car. These DC aircraft are iconic for a reason -  truly beautiful, and now, by experience, we can vouch for their performance - our ears are still ringing!

GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE HISTORIQUE 2026 - MARK WEBBER

 

Special cars deserve special events and special drivers.  For the 2026 'Grand Prix Historique' event at Paul Ricard, famous names taking part included Prost, Alesi and Arnoux, but also 'young-gun', ex-Red Bull F1 driver, Mark Webber, who we had the pleasure of looking after as a guest driver in the 1955 Grand Prix Ferrari 555 owned by a Client. As well as being a very successful and versatile racing driver, Mark is also a true Australian gentleman, and  it was an absolute pleasure spending garage time with him. With all his experience, there was thankfully no need to explain twice the delicacy of the Ferrari's highly original manual gearbox...

PAUL RICARD CIRCUIT - PRIVATE TEST

 

In preparation for the 2026 Grand Prix de France Historique at Paul Ricard  in April, we provided logistics and track support for a private test of two very special Grand Prix cars. The beautiful ex Mika Hakkinen / Martin Brundle 1994 McLaren MP4 Peugeot, that we recently helped broker the sale of, and an extremely rare 1955 Ferrari 555, one of only two remaining in existence, owned by a long-standing Client and  collector of racing Ferrari's. Some days are very special  - this was definitely one.

2026 SYDNEY HARBOUR CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE - JUDGING

CIAO CHRIS

 

Chris Rea's music has helped us through many a long night in the workshops and even longer nights on the roads to and from events. Also a racer, from historic cars to 'moderns', he was very much a 'car man', once famously saying it would be impossible for him to choose between his favourite guitar and his favourite Ferrari. For your four-wheeled passion, and for always helping to drive us home, we thank you Chris.

ALBI AUTO CLASSIC

 

With a close relationship to the owners and management team of the historic Albi circuit near Toulouse, we were commissioned to help organise and launch the first edition of the Albi Auto Classic, in celebration of 70 years of motor-racing at the circuit. Throughout many of the racing and demonstration grids that we helped to assemble, many included cars and clients that we helped bring together.

RETURN TO IMOLA - DE CESARIS ALFA ROMEO 179

 

Organisation and secure logistics to return the ex- Andrea de Cesaris Alfa Romeo 179 V12 F1 car for its owner to the Imola circuit, for display at the 2025 Formula 1 event - the first time the car has returned to the circuit since it competing in the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix. Knowing now that the 2025 GP marked the end of F1 racing at the historic track, our 3000 km round-trip was well worth the autostrada long haul.

BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE - FAIRMONT HOTEL DISPLAY

 

Sometimes, it doesn't get any better... A direct commission by a 2025 Monaco Grand Prix sponsor to display the ex David Coulthard McLaren MP4 F1 car in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel facing the famous circuit hairpin. As well as providing the perfect place to promote the car, our view of the Grand Prix was quite simply exceptional.​

BEAUTY IS A BRABHAM BT-59

 

The beauty of Formula 1 cars is perhaps subjective, but the purity and elegance of the 1990/91  Brabham BT 59-5 recently added to our broker sales inventory is unquestionable. Campaigned by David Brabham in 1990 and Martin Brundle in the 1992, chassis #5, now fully restored with a Judd EV 3.5L V8, is in our view, a true work of art.

Over the years, we have provided support to various clients competing in both the Competition and Regularity classes. For 2024 our mobile assistance helped a long-standing client become a front running competitor. ​
