TIM HAMMOND ENGINEERING

Tim qualified as an engineer in the early 1970's and his fascination for anything mechanical has continued throughout his life. His very first street rod was a 1955 Ford Popular called "Mistreated", followed some years later by a 1937 Oldsmobile Sedan, which was a complete contrast and innovative for its time (check out the gallery). Its debut was in 1995 when it won many awards, and it is still on the road today, turning heads. Tim says no point re-vamping it, as he now feels he could do better!... In 1987 Tim met Paul Gibbs from Wisbech Engineering and was asked if he would produce a few bits for Paul, this soon turned into 5 days a week and together they built many show winning cars. The work Tim was doing privately was beginning to grow and it became apparent that travelling for 2 hours each day was not practical. Tim then switched to a small workshop and continues to work alone to maintain quality.
