About the Author

Oliver Wild grew up in an engineering family in rural Yorkshire, spending evenings in the garage with his father restoring a range of classic cars from MGs to Porsches.
Weekends were often spent on windy airfields competing in motorsport events, or mending cars from the previous weekend.
Following a successful career in the motor trade, Oliver has over 20 years of restoration experience across a range of marques, being in 'the game' for the love of it rather than big financial rewards. He gains more pleasure from rescuing beautiful cars and introducing new people to the hobby than chasing financial gain.
Oliver owns an eclectic range of cars and other vintage machinery, ranging from pushbikes to Suffolk Punch lawnmowers! But the Mazda MX-5 has become a staple in his garage, with usually at least one owned by Oliver and his wife Sarah.
