How long were you at A-M?
Twenty years, though it did not feel like it.

So the multitude of DBs on your books makes sense. But where did the Range Rovers come in?
They just found me. I took an interest, turned round and I had nine around me. Had to do my homework as there are so many people who love them and know every nut and bolt about these cars.

Are E-types undervalued compared with Astons and Ferraris?
Good question and I could spend hours on this - they are now starting to make their mark and prices have shown that, time will tell.

What can't you get enough of?
Early Aston Martins with good history, like every one! Interesting British-built motor cars where you have to understand the marque and their owners, I do like getting my teeth into a good history.

Are you trading much lhd stock into mainland Europe?
The European market is very strong at the present with the stronger Euro. A higher percentage of enquires are coming from outside the UK and have never focused on shipping cost so much before.

And the next big thing?
I see good British marques becoming stronger - Healeys and Bristols and the like.
