We are
L.A. MotorSport
It began more than seven years ago, born from grease-stained hands and a shared driveway. What started as a hobby—and often a necessity—tinkering with my own GSi replica and my father’s Lotus Carlton, soon became an obsession. I didn’t know it then, but those long afternoons under the hood were the blueprint for something much bigger.
In 2023, I decided to turn that lifelong passion into a purpose. It was a no-brainer: I wanted to use everything I’d learned to keep these rare, precious machines where they belong—on the road.
Today, L.A. MotorSport is a true family affair. Supported by my own family, who each play a vital role in our daily operations.
We aren't just a shop; we’re a family-run powerhouse built on the grit of old-school values. We believe in work that speaks for itself, prices that make sense, and total transparency with our community.
You aren’t just a customer to us; you’re part of our "garage family.”
While we’ve earned our reputation as specialists in the Lotus and Vauxhall Carlton world, our devotion doesn't stop there. We live for the "old-skool" modified and performance legends. Most recently, a new addition to our family—an R34 Nissan Skyline named Bibby—has led us into the vibrant world of the JDM scene.
The eras may change, but the passion remains the same.

Hannah
Co-owner of L.A. MotorSport
Hi, I’m Hannah! As Leone’s partner and right-hand lady, I wear a lot of hats around here. While I bring 7 years of CAD and 3 years of Graphic Design experience to the workshop, I’m just as happy getting stuck into the heavy lifting on any project that rolls through the door. For me, it’s all about the community we’re building; I make sure every person who joins us feels like part of the family. And trust me—I make a cracking cuppa to keep the team fueled up!
Julian
L.A. MotorSport Secretary
I’m the garage cat, Leone and Han’s fur baby. I enjoy fulfilling a life of cuteness, many naps and just out-right chaos. My star role is to meet and greet all of the nice people that bring in their cars to the garage - I accept all treats, cuddles and compliments. In my spare time my main hobby is annoying my kitty sister - Missy Moo and destroying the house with my super zoomies!
And yes that photo is a cat (although hard to believe !)
Meet Julian, our Secretary and the man who keeps our gears turning smoothly. A long-time Lotus Carlton owner, Julian knows a thing or two about iconic engineering and brings that same appreciation for detail to our books. Whether he’s crunching numbers, helping us make the big decisions, or providing the general support that keeps the shop floor running, he’s the backbone of our operations. He’s always ready for a chat about classic performance—and he’s just as vital to the family as the cars themselves.
