The Directors

Paul Holmes

Paul has spent his entire working life at the sharp end of the music business.
He is a classically trained singer and keyboard player and has progressed from playing in bars whilst still at school through to a major record deal with ‘Virgin Music’ and the consequent selling of over 20,000 albums with pop/rock band “Cut”.

However, Paul is a self confessed, car obsessed, petrol-head and has had a life long association with cars and the motor trade. His grandfather ran a garage for most of his working life and his mother ran the administration department of both a Citroen dealership and a Volkswagen dealership giving Paul unlimited access to all manner of vehicles both old and new.

This has led to the inevitable purchase, running and restoration of dozens of cars ranging from humble Citroen 2CV’s and their derivatives, several Volkswagen Beetles and the inevitable “fast Fords” through to more mature classics like the 1955 Citroen Avant and 1990 Bentley Turbo RL currently owned by Paul.

It was therefore only a matter of time until Paul himself became directly involved in the motor trade and a golden opportunity would present itself in which he could utilise his combination of both his mechanical knowledge and the people skills gleaned through years as an entertainer.

Liam Wilkinson

Date of birth: 26-05-63
Place of birth: Nottingham
Nationality: British
Marital status: single

Liam was practically born with a spanner in his hand. His family owned a large garage and from a very early age Liam was stripping down and rebuilding cars, motor bikes , boats, planes in fact anything that had an engine.

Liam therefore embarked on a life within the motor trade however Liam had always shown considerable artistic and creative talent and it wasn’t long before he found a way in which to combine all of his natural talents. He realised that he had a very keen eye for bodywork and paintwork and soon set up his own bodyshop turning out show winning cars that were often featured in national publications.

However this wasn’t enough for Liam as the creative itch continued to burn. Having owned and run several Lotus cars he decided to design and build and market a Lotus Elan replica. After several years of hard work and planning the Gemini Sprint Elysse was born. This proved to be a huge success gaining critical acclaim from the Kit Car world however Government legislation started to make life very tough for Kit Car manufactures and the decision was made to sell the project on.

This left Liam looking for a new project and new way in which he could fully use his extensive skill, ability and creativity.
