I brought my first Model “A” 1929 Right Hand Drive Phaeton in 1972, where my cousin, who did most of the work whilst I became an excited and very interested onlooker. With the help of a number of so called business trips to the U.S.A. to find parts, and many arguments with the South African customs, we finally had a best of show Phaeton.

During 1985 we decided to immigrate to the U.S.A. and after 5 years of bureaucratic paper work we finally arrived in Atlanta in August 1990. Within a short period of time, I met Mr. Marion Buice who was about to start a full restoration on his Leatherback Victoria.

Sadly for Marion he fell off of his roof whilst doing some repair work and broke his hip - this gave me the opportunity to restore his “Vicky” - some of you may remember this car - it was amongst the five cars that were featured on our 1999 Catalog that I have restored in the past few years. This Vicky has been sold twice recently, and is still winning 1st Prize at all the local shows.

Our 10th Anniversary was in 2002 and we are still going strong. The staff here now consists of me, my wife Kay, two of my daughters (Angela and Kelly), my son-in-law Erich (Kelly’s Husband), and a family friend named Brett. Together our goal is to create an environment were it is a pleasure to be with family all day and giving our “A” customers with the friendliest service possible.

At the beginning of 2004 we moved to our new and improved shop and we are getting settled in nicely. Our Grand Opening was June 5th 2004 and between us and the Georgia Chapter of the MACFA we called it Grandfather’s Day. A wonderful day was had by all and 103 Model “A” arrived to visit and tour our new premises
