MOSS AUTOMOTIVE

Michael O’Sullivan

Ihave been a car enthusiast for as long as I can remember and I have owned Alfa Romeo, Alpina, Audi, BMW, Caterham, Ferrari, Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes Benz, Morris, Porsche, Rolls Royce and VW. However, having driven and owned many cars over the last 28 years, Porsche is my favourite and a 911 would be my choice, if I could only have one.

I met Jonathan Franklin when he was at Hexagon Classics and he sold me my first 911, a 1987 911 250,000th commemorative edition coupe. We continued to do business over the years and became friends. The relationship with Hexagon has continued after Jonathan left and I use them for servicing and repairs on mine and customers cars.

My work background was in property and construction, in 2018 I sold my business and I had been storing some cars on a development site that I owned, an old truck tyre garage, for about four years. Prior to that I had stored my own cars at various places when I was moving home or doing building work and I thought I could do it better than anybody else, I bought an empty warehouse that year and began creating the facility I have today, the first cars arrived at the new facility in April last year.

In 2018 at Salon Prive, there was a Masters tribute to the 70th anniversary of Porsche and my 1993 911 (964) 3.6 Turbo (one of 31 U.K cars) was on display. Jonathan was attending with a former Hexagon colleague, Gerry Liddon of Rare Car Finance, who I had also known, through Jonathan, for some time. In May the following year Gerry had moved his office to Moss Automotive H.Q, Jonathan left Hexagon Classics later that year to start Jonathan Franklin Cars and he also made Moss Automotive his H.Q.

My current cars are, 2017 Alpina D3 Biturbo 1968 Alfa Romeo Junior Spider 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC 1990 Porsche 911 (964) C2

I do quite a few track days during the year, European road trips and attend a lot of motoring events, the biannual le Mans Classic being my favourite.
