In 1964 Paul Michaels started a small tuning business in a mews garage in Hampstead. That same year he met Ron Siegel (ex Healey Apprentice) and in a very short while the two were partners. From these very small beginnings one mews garage became two and eventually four. Operating a straight forward garage with no franchise holding, they moved into their new premises in North Hill and at the same time took on a franchise for reliant Scimitar and subsequently ones for Alpha, Marcus, BMW and Lotus. The rise continued with their becoming concessionaires for the Monterverdi. Areas serviced: Hendon & Hampsteadwww.hexagonbmw.co.uk82-92 Great North Rd, N2 0NN

The Seven is the original British lightweight sportscar. Originally created by Colin Chapman and launched as the Lotus 7 in 1957, the car embodies the Chapman design ethos of adding lightness. The low mass of the car makes it inherently agile, gives startling performance and, most of all, imbues the driving experience with its unparalleled sense of purity, control and reward. It is, quite simply, a motoring icon. Caterham Cars has been selling the Seven since the late 1950's. In 1973 Caterham purchased the rights to manufacture the car from Lotus, and has been building and selling it ever since. Over the decades Caterham have continued to refine and enhance the design, whilst always respecting the brilliance of the original formula.
