About Hexham Horseless Carriages
Staffed by a bunch of sports car enthusiasts we like to think of ourselves as a sportscar club, work being not simply a 9-5 task but more of a 24-7 hobby that we all enjoy. Our youthful staff can now boast over a century of combined sportscar expertise although this has rendered some of us greyer than the others!
Our sales department is run by the combined efforts of Tony and Richard Abrams, the ever busy workshop is the domain of Richard Bright who has Ian, Joe, Aaron and Ash working to keep your pride and joy in tip-top condition. The first point of contact for many people is Jill Jackson who is kept occupied answering the phone, looking after the accounts and generally making customers feel welcome. John Armstrong is our man for parts many of which we have available for immediate delivery. Busy behind the scenes is Brian Chandler who is our valeter/driver.
Away from work many of us can be found sampling the social side of TVR, Lotus & Noble ownership and we are pleased to say that many of our customers have become firm friends. Motorsport plays an important function in the success of our business and we have built and prepared various TVRs for competition use.
Our Tuscan Challenge car finished the 2007 race season as Class B victor and in 3rd place overall in the series and is entirely prepared in-house, the only component that our workshop hasn't been able to improve is the driver!! For the 2008 season we were pleased to complete the build and preparation of John and Linda Simpsons historic TVR 3000M race car with which John has achieved Class wins.
Rest assured that we care for your pride and joy as much as you do and we appreciate the trust placed in us when your car is left with us for work. We pride ourselves on the attention to detail and whilst we would be the first to admit that we're not cheap, we certainly feel that we offer good value because you're not simply buying one hours labour but the wealth of experience gained over the many years that we have been involved with these specialist cars!
