Classic & Sportscar Centre in North Yorkshire marked its 35th anniversary with an evening at York's National Railway Museum.
Classic & Sportscar Centre, which sells classic and sports cars to customers as far afield as Japan and Argentina, celebrated its 35th anniversary with an evening at the National Railway Museum in York, attended by customers, friends and supporters.
The company was founded in April 1991 by Nick Szkiler at Broadfield Mills in Huddersfield. It moved to a 27,000 square foot showroom at Phoenix Mills near the town centre five years later, then relocated to Ryedale seven years after that. In 2006, Nick's son James took over as CEO. The business later expanded to include Malton Coachworks, offering classic car restoration and maintenance.
At the anniversary event, James Szkiler described his journey leading the company. 'I'm really proud to reach this milestone: 35 years of business,' he said. 'I was given the opportunity to take on this business 20 years ago at the age of 23. I started with a team of six. Today, we have 50.' Congratulations came from motorsport, film and sport figures including former Formula One world champion Nigel Mansell, broadcaster Richard Hammond, retired rugby union player Martin Johnson and racing analyst Karun Chandhok.
