About us

Paul Sweeney

Lesley Taplin

Paul is the proud owner of Queenie, a 1954 Daimler Conquest. Paul is an expat Englishman and has been driving tours and weddings professionally in the Hawkes Bay area for several years.


He is a fully trained Art Deco Tour Guide and thus can wax lyrical about Napier's world-famous Art Deco City if asked.

His previous background was in IT Project Management for a couple of major High Street Banks in the UK - and we all know how that ended. 

Thanks to his background , Paul is our 'Online Guy', taking responsibility for this web site, our Facebook page and also fielding email and telephone enquiries.

They say good things come in small packages, and Lesley definitely lives up to that with her 'larger than life' personality! 





​Lesley is 'Mum' to Buttercup - a 1928 Ford Tudor A - and is 100% Kiwi, hailing originally from Dannevirke. Her other 'charges' are Gump and Poppy the Jack Russell terriers, who love going everywhere with her in Buttercup.

Lesley is a very experienced professional driver - like Paul, she is a trained Art Deco Tour Guide and is well known for her cheeky sense of humour.

When she isn't driving cars. Lesley is a keen motorcyclist and loves nothing better than roaring around Hawkes Bay with a group of biker friends.
