Classic Obsession

No stranger to fame as an actor who has appeared countless television series, Gary Maver’s true passion has always been working on and restoring classic cars – now brought to life on the recently-launched Classic Obsession YouTube channel.

With a hands-on approach to ownership, Gary’s videos show that with time, patience, and a healthy dose of commonsense, even the most sophisticated of classic cars can be worked on in the home garage.

Starting with a Volkswagen Beetle, the seeds of Classic Obsession were sown when Gary bought his first Mercedes, a pink SL Pagoda. From there, he’s restored and fettled many cars back to perfection. Currently in his garage are a Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible, Porsche 928, and Lotus Elite, which shows Gary is just the sort of enthusiast we cherish at Footman James.

Gary also delights in meeting owners and specialists on his journey to bring cars back to life, and we get to meet these fellow enthusiasts to learn their stories and skills that give our favourite cars so much of their history and character.
