Ben trained in restoration as part of his apprenticeship. Now, with over 23 years of experience, he has developed a real passion and a keen eye in both running and building a variety of vehicle projects. After developing and fine tuning his skills in classic vehicle servicing, Ben took the opportunity to challenge himself restoring vehicles. Restoring MG’s (including Mike Brewers own MGA) with a vast array of, often bespoke custom-made modifications have formed a huge part of a successful career he loves.

With a keen interest in historical motorsport Ben moved on to the historic rally scene, building vintage American vehicles for endurance events such as Peking to Paris. The Chevrolet Fangio replicas were a particular highlight, all heavily modified and to a professional standard. These experiences culminated in Ben running a workshop of several people as well as being requested on several events such as the Monte Carlo Historique and Le Jog.

Gary had his first taste of competing in Motorsport aged just 16 and found his passion. He completed his apprenticeship and studied at Oxford College of Mechanical Engineering – the very beginning of 35 reputable years of experience in the industry. A love of classic cars was developed early on and having competed in ‘both seats’ of rallying, he has an admirable understanding of all aspects involved.

Gary has serviced on numerous rallies worldwide from club through to international level events. With 2 Peking to Paris rallies under his belt, it was at his first in 2013 that the spark ignited his passion for long distance endurance events. Having worked on these events, it has given Gary a valuable insight into the potential failures of reliability on rallies and this knowledge is put to great use in the workshop.

Gary gets real enjoyment from ‘repairing the unforeseen’ and is always looking forward to the next challenge.

From a young age, Harry has always had a keen interest in cars. His Father, an employee of Jaguar Land Rovers development team, ensured dinner table conversation was never far from car chat always feeding Harry's enthusiasm. At the age of 10, Harry went to watch the RAC rally and vividly recalls the roar of the Lancia Stratos which sticks with him to this day.

Harry's ambition has always been to work on the vehicles he would want to drive, with OCR Rally providing the perfect platform for this as he dreams about Ford Escort rally cars, MG's and Aston Martins to name a few.

Harry has since enrolled in the Bicester Heritage skills academy, he is a keen learner with bags of enthusiasm.

A passion for classic and vintage cars began at an early age, inspired by watching family friends compete in hill climb events in cars such as Austin Healeys and vintage Bentleys. That early exposure sparked an appreciation for performance and a fascination with the history and stories behind each vehicle — something that still drives his approach today.

He holds a BTEC qualification in Engineering and completed a Classic Vehicle Maintenance and Restoration course, building a strong technical foundation before starting his apprenticeship at Fiennes Restoration. There, he was heavily involved in full restoration projects, carrying out general mechanical overhauls alongside precision machining tasks. His experience spans classic Italian vehicles, race cars, and modern garages, giving him a broad and adaptable skill set. He enjoys understanding how vehicles have evolved over time and values the craftsmanship behind each era.

Outside of work, he has a longstanding passion for off-road motorbikes. Having grown up riding competitively, he thrives on the adrenaline and competitive edge of the sport. He has rebuilt numerous bikes over the years and is currently restoring a Honda CRF450R.
