PHOENIX GREEN GARAGE
Phoenix Green Garage has long been established as a destination and meeting place for car enthusiasts of many marques and models. Considered the spiritual home of the VSCC (Vintage Sports Car Club) when it was originated in October 1934, Phoenix Green Garage remains a venue for club meets and events, where owners of pre-war Alfa Romeos, Bugattis, Frazer Nashes, Lancias and more congregate around their cars to share stories with like-minded enthusiasts and appreciate the warm and convivial environment of the adjacent pub, The Phoenix Inn. To visit the Phoenix Green Garage contact Nicholas Benwell to arrange an appointment. Contact The Phoenix Inn directly for bookings.

DAVID GOODWIN
Success in business allowed David to follow his lifelong passion for cars, owning many interesting and collectible examples over the years. As an experienced collector David developed a mature insight into how the market has evolved, a feel for current sentiment and where both market and sentiment are likely to go. Following the sale of his telecommunications company and with many friends and contacts in the industry, it was inevitable that David would enter the collector car sector. David and Nick established Phoenix Green Sales Limited as specialists in the sales of pre & post-war thoroughbred sports cars with David as post-war car specialist.
