My name’s Rob – hence the impressive company name.
ROBSPORT INTERNATIONAL was formed in 1989 when I quit a job managing engineers for a multi-national company and found the only thing that interested me other than the usual was Triumphs. I went to California many times and brought back some lovely TRs and a mountain of junk – henceforth known as rare classic spares – so our sales and spares operation limped into being.
Some of our more picky customers wanted the cars we sold them to work and despite getting my hands quite grubby I couldn’t keep up, so employed a mechanic – all companies must have a fall guy.
This was working well when we suffered a dreadful blow when my son, Simon, quit his job and came to work with me, despite failing the interview – he had completed an apprenticeship in electronics and was employed as a buyer with a large local electronics company. He will tell you that our expansion and survival are in large part his doing, and unfortunately he now knows so much about the cars it would be impossible to do without him. Bearing that in mind when you phone – if it’s easy, I’ll deal with it – if it’s not, ask for Simon. |
