Colin
I
started Motorsport World on 23 November 2000 after a career as a
mechanical engineer specialising on the scientific side of gas flow,
gaining a PhD in the subject in 1989. I became manager of the laboratory
that maintains the UK National Standards for gas flowrate and also
worked at one of the world’s leading engine design companies
on inlet and exhaust port design. But, as with many people, I had
always dreamt of running my own business but it took the usual mid-life
crisis at the grand old age of 40 to make me do something about
it. Whatever my business was going to be it was always going to
involve cars for which I have had a life long passion. I also found
the internet fascinating when it came along and decided to join
the two to make a business. I tried various things but naturally
homed in on the performance parts mail-order business and aimed
at providing a service that I would like to receive as a customer.
I fought from the beginning to keep prices down whilst providing
the best service possible and it paid off with rapid growth year
on year, becoming a top ten company for a number of the brands you
will see in this website.
Cars: Impreza 22B, Sierra 4x4, MGB V8, Escort Mk1 Rally Car, Escort
Mk2 (for grass tracking), Nova (for very wet grass tracking!) &
BMW 540i Touring for a tow car.

Alexa
My other half. Alexa packed in her job too and joined the business
in August 2002 to help with the mountains of admin and paperwork we
were beginning to generate. She looks after the books and anything
else I tell/ask her to do - its nice to be the boss for 8 hours a
day!
Car: Impreza STi V2 |
