In 2017 we supplied props for a new film being shot at Pinewood , a remake of the classic DUMBO made by DISNEY .
Visiting some amazing houses and collections around the UK we meet some very interesting custormers all with a story to tell , but in our business we have to protect the privacy and for security the locations of such collections, we often spend time with " A " list customers who are only too pleased to show us around but on leaving we have to respect their privacy and maintain a working relationship and they are greatful knowing we will do just that. Often we put in our adverts that our reputation means a great deal , our discretion also means we maintain the trust of our clients.
Our vintage pumps and items have appeared at Chris Evans Car-Fest, London Classic Car Show press day, Goodwood Revival , BBC The One Show and on TV in Pawn Stars UK, Turbo Pickers , Salvage Hunter with Drew Pritchard and "T", ITV Jekyll and Hyde and The London Classic Car Show. We have also taken part in a film shoot for an American show with Storage Hunter Jesse McClure .We have also taken part in the popular BBC radio show with Mark Forrest, and featured several times on local BBC shows.
Christmas 2016 we appeared on Christmas day TV on a Quest production and on New Years Day 2018 one of our pumps appeared in a BBC production with Tom Courtenay an adaptation of a book written by David Walliams called " Grandpa's Great Escape "
In September 2020 we supplied over eighty props for a TV production starring Jonny Vegas .
I have taken part in TV productions for the History Channel , Quest and Channel Four , Salvage Hunter with Drew Pritchard and in 2014 I gave a talk on board the liner Queen Mary 2 on a cruise to Norway also on board giving a speech was Band Aid member Midge Ure.
In 2018 I became a regular guest on BBC Radio Derby on the Andy Twigge show as a motoring guru ! and again on BBC radio on the Sally Pepper show .In 2020 I also took part in a show on BBC radio Northampton .
In 2015 I joined Rareburg.com as an expert on their collectors site where I also wrote articles and also appeard on their TV channel along with Tracy Martin and Eric Knowles.
In December 2015 we published our first book " All things automobilia " with all profits going to charity .
In March 2020 my second book was published " My World of Automobilia " and the foreword written by Nigel Mansell CBE former F1 World Champion .
One of our clients TV chef James Martin seen here with the petrol pump we built to commemorate his series French Adventure ,we were invited by James to his Manchester resaurant to dress the scene at a special Petrolheads lunch attended by motorcycle legends
Doug Lampkin and John McGuinness.
I pride myself on the fact that 50 years ago I was trained and encouraged to offer old fashioned customer service, honesty and to operate with complete discretion.
These are all qualities that I continue to practice in the running of
Automobilia-UK.
