1976 1275cc Classic Mini Cafe Racer

The mini that started it all.

Phil is a car guy through and through. He started his journey with an AW11 Toyota MR2. He then went through a plethora of Japanese legends like Miatas, CRXs, RX7s, and AE86s. There were some other oddballs like Turbo Volvos, Nissan Hardbody trucks and Lexus sedans.

And then he bought a mini; the rest is history.

He started a car shop with his high school friend in a small shop at Steveston, Richmond, working on his own car and projects while servicing minis for some local owners.

Since then, the focus on minis has never been clearer; to build performance minis at a high level while distilling the best of his early car experience into every project.
