Mark Huthert is a seasoned motor mechanic with a passion for parts. In 1975, his father bought him an accident damaged Austin Seven 850. A year later, when just 15 years old, he built his first modified 850cc engine. This led to four years of grasstrack racing with three - you guessed it - Minis. With the experience and knowledge picked up from working on his Austin, and his stint in racing, he took his skills into the auto parts and repair industry, working for a number of garages specialising in different marques.
