How long have you been in business? Since 1979, and we’ve specialise­d in Ferraris since 1984. We focus on 1970-’90 models.

What’s your favourite classic event? The Goodwood Members’ Meeting.

What is the future for the classic market? It’s looking bright. There are more events for classics, and more interest than ever before.

What should readers buy now before their prices go through the roof? I don’t know about going through the roof, but 2+2 Ferraris have long been overlooked in favour of the two-seaters. The new generation of owner who has had Bentley GTS, Aston Martins etc is starting to realise that Ferrari made 2+2s as well, and that they also had 12-cylinder engines.

Can you tell us something interestin­g about yourself?

I once flew in the cockpit jumpseat on Concorde coming back from New York – fantastic!
