"PASSIONATE ABOUT HISTORIC MOTOR SPORT"

MOTORING-MAN 

BUYS AND SELLS ALL HISTORIC RACING 

AND 

CAR MEMORABILIA

AND I SPECIALISE IN JOCHEN RINDT

I HOPE ANYONE WHO BUYS FROM ME ENJOYS THEIR PURCHASES. I AM A REAL ENTHUSIAST AND WOULD HATE TO DISAPPOINT ANOTHER FAN SO I REALLY TRY MY BEST TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHING HONESTLY AND TO PACK EVERYTHING WELL. IF THERE IS EVER MISTAKES I WILL ALWAYS TRY MY VERY BEST TO RECTIFY THEM.

AFTER FOLLOWING MOTOR RACING SINCE A YOUNG BOY I GOT TO AN AGE WHEN I STARTED TO LOOSE INTEREST. ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO SELL MY LIFE`S COLLECTION AFTER THINKING MY KIDS WOULD HAVE NO INTEREST. THIS SPARKED OF MY PASSION AGAIN AND I HAVE ENDED UP WITH THIS WONDERFUL BUSINESS. 

MY SON CHARLIE SOON CAUGHT THE BUG TO AND HAS A SHOP CALLED MOTORING-MAN-BOUTIQUE AND IRONICALLY  MY DAUGHTER TRAVELS WITH THE GP CIRCUS AROUND THE WORLD AS SHE HAS ENDED UP A PRODUCER FOR FORMULA ONE ON SKY TV.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE LOTS OF GPs  IN EUROPE AND HAVE BEEN TO LE MANS EVERY YEAR EXCEPT THREE SINCE 1977.

 MY FAVOURITE CARS AND DRIVERS GO BACK FURTHER THAN MY MEMORIES AS I JUST LOVE THE 1960S SPORTS CAR RACERS. CHAPARRAL, GT40 AND OF COURSE THE 917 ARE ALL MY LOVES. I HAVE AN INTEREST IN JOCHEN RINDT AND HAVE ALWAYS FOLLOWED JACKY ICKX. MY BIGGEST INTEREST HAS TO BE THE 1930s SILVER ARROWS.

THROUGH THIS BUSINESS I HAVE BECOME VERY FOND OF MOTORING ART AND I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO REPRESENT CHRIS DUGAN A VERY FINE MOTOR ARTIST AND A GENTLEMAN

ALTHOUGH I SELL 1000s OF ITEMS THROUGH EBAY I DO MY BEST TO SPECIALISE IN SOME OF THE LESSER KNOWN FORMULAS LIKE FORMULA FORD, JUNIOR, 5000 AND OTHER CLASSIC RACE CARS. THIS IS BECAUSE I AM AN ENTHUSIAST OF THE CLASSIC MEETINGS LIKE GOODWOOD, LE MANS CLASSIC, OLDTIMER, SILVERSTONE HISTORIC ECT

I ALSO BUY BOOKS, TROPHIES, PHOTOGRAPHS AND PICTURES IN FACT MOST MEMORABILIA!

ENJOY THE SHOP AND DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SHARE YOUR PASSION!
