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. |
