NEW OWNERS

Earlier in the year I was in Christchurch, Robert was in the process of selling McGregor Motorsports. The post-earthquake years had taken its toll financially and emotionally on so many Christchurch residents and Robert and his wife Isobel had absorbed enough….it was time to sell the business.

Fortunately a client who was building a McGregor and for many years had been their powder coater said he was keen to buy the business. I met Scot and his partner Delwyn and immediately knew this was a “good fit.”

Scott has an extensive background in cars, fabricating and as he said “give me some materials and I will build something.” Robert will continue to assist in the business transition and will still jump in and help with electrical designs and implementation. Mark is going to be a consultant in design, fabrication which will really maintain the continued development of the McGregor cars. Ironically there is not much left of the original McGregor designs….it’s an entirely different car with a far more sophisticated understanding and production of the evolving Lotus 7.

I am really excited to be a part of this change and working with Scott fits really well within what I want from a custom car build.
