About Us

Who are On The Spanners?

Well, we are the same people as you, who probably open the car window when we see a TVR coming, smile when we hear a howling Aston V12, or just nod as we listen to a Beemer straight six.

Look, if you know, you know!

Our founder has 30 years working in the motor trade, so automotive culture really does run as deep as the bits of 0/30w in our veins. This journey began long ago, in a Fiesta XR2 Far Far Away with grease stained hands, a McD’s cheese burger and a relentless curiosity for all things classic, fast or loud. Back in our teenage years,  they were mis-spent to the sound of Sierra Cosworth’s, Nova GTE’s and Uno Turbo with a few XR3i and RS Turbos thrown in for a laugh too.

Countless hours have been spent on driveways, in garages while smashing knuckles and listening to dodgy tracks on a cassette or Pete Tong on Radio 1. All the time, breathing life into an old Ford OHV or hoping the K Series, kept its head long enough, as we brought them back to life! Our passion is now extending beyond the workshop and on to a screen. We are building a community and bringing you items we hope you love. It’s all been woven into our everyday lives, from how we seek NC500 road trips, or days out at Goodwood Festival of Speed, spending our weekends tinkering on our own cars or even the type of hoodie or t-shirt we wear!

We want to invite you on this journey of true Automotive Culture! Welcome to our world – it’s time to start those engines and get yourself to that red line folks!
