Nick runs the workshop and oversees large restoration projects from start to finish. He took over in 2023 and is committed to delivering top service to all HHE clients. Nick’s passion for classic cars started at 17 when he learned to drive in a 1979 Mini. Before joining Haynes, he ran a track car preparation workshop. Outside of work, he’s restoring his own ‘63 Mini. His dream car is a black Ferrari Testarossa, and his favourite project was a Volvo 121.
