James Dennison

Classic Car & Motorcycle Sales Consultant
A life long classic car fanatic, James is especially addicted to big engine cars from the 1960s, but finds it hard to resist anything with big wheels, walnut and leather. Currently struggling to contain an obsession to own a Maserati 3500GT (or a Khamsin or a Bentley Continental Flying Spur), he is manfully hurling money at his (t)rusty old Mkl Jaguar in the hope of driving it to the Goodwood Revival this summer.

Matthew Parkin

An enthusiastic competitor at VSCC events for many years, he has an eclectic collection of some fourteen cars, from a 1921 Vauxhall 30/98 to a 1966 MGB GT. Eleven of these are currently on the road – its probably enough he says.

Toby Service

Automobilia Auctioneer

As an auctioneer for the company and a specialist valuer for the Automobilia, he hopes for another successful year. A keen interest in the motoring world, in particular a fondness for chrome and very large headlamps.

Roger Williams

Roger who is Head of the Fine Art department has been with the Company for 30 years, during which time he has gained a wide knowledge in many aspects of fine art and antiques, but specialises in silver and furniture. Like many of his colleagues he graduated from Southampton College, having already spent a number of years working in the saleroom. He is a regular visitor to Shelsey Walsh Hill Climbs and is a neighbour of former and current national champions Roger and Scott Moran. Although he is very interested in Classic Cars his normal mode of transport is a 4 x 4 vehicle which better suits the many outdoor pursuits with which he is involved.
