He is very enthusiastic to see older machines restored to their former glory. Steve's father and grandfather before him have always had an interest in motorcars and motorcycles, and how best to race them.

The Wolseley Oxford Taxi was the first new taxi cab to be launched on the British market after the end of the Second World War and was produced in Ward End, Birmingham. This vehicle came to us repaired and part primed. We checked all repairs and reprimed using high build primers. All panels were taken off and painted separately.
Originally sold to works fire services and small airfields, many fire engines were modified by their owners. With this in mind, we tried to put many original features back, i.e., the bell, lights and paint colour. We completed a ground up restoration, renewing all mechanical components so they were up to MOT standard.
