The driving force behind the team at Tom Lenthall Limited, Tom’s pedigree is as rich as the marques he works with.
Having developed an early love of all things mechanical – repairing bikes and motorcycles from the age of 12, Tom went on to study mechanical engineering at college, before undertaking a four-year apprenticeship with classic Jaguar restoration specialists, RS Coachworks. By the time he was in his mid-twenties, he was already building concours winning vehicles and preparing race cars for events.
From working with classics, Tom moved to a Jaguar main dealership, becoming a Master Technician and winning the Jaguar Masters finals, leaving after 12 years to set up his own business.
Tom is now primarily focused on project management, overseeing ongoing restorations, tuning and performance upgrades, and ensuring his own race cars, an XJS, and a 1963 Mk II are at the top of their game.
Since 2007, the team supporting Tom may have grown, but each team member has earned their place at Tom Lenthall Ltd with their extensive Jaguar & Land Rover knowledge and experience having worked for main dealer networks and other specialists. They all play their part to ensure the high standards that Tom sets are continually met and exceeded.
