Vehicle Technician – York
Hometown: Selby
If James Bond traded in his tux for a torque wrench and a biker jacket, you'd get Sam. By day, he's elbow-deep in engines at Batchelors York; by night, he’s sipping Lamb’s Navy Rum with a perfectly cooked steak and a vintage record spinning in the background.
His dream machine? A black Mk2 Toyota MR2 Turbo—a true petrolhead's fantasy. But don’t let the grease-stained hands fool you—this guy has a flair for the dramatic. Once an aspiring actor with dreams of riding off into the sunset Clint Eastwood–style, Sam’s still got a touch of Hollywood in him (just swap the horse for a 1993 Honda CBR NC29).
Warm beaches? Pass. Sam’s idea of paradise is Iceland under a sky lit by the Northern Lights, cigar in hand, probably quoting a line from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Whether he's tuning engines or tracking down rare vinyl, Sam’s always in gear—and probably thinking about his next adventure (or dram).
