Barrie is one of the original partners in Distinctive Cars York. His passion for cars, especially Japanese ones is what drove DCY to leave the UK performance cars behind and move onto the Japanese market. Today Barrie concentrates on choosing the cars to import from Japan. He also undertakes 90% of all the cars we order through our 'order service'

George is the other one of the original partners of Distinctive Cars York. His passion and his enthusiasm for cars is what pushed Barrie and George together in the first place. George is found in the office nowadays, dealing with emails invoices and all web related issues, he has also negotiated very good prices on parts and body styling and can pass these prices to the customers.

Mick plays an important role in Distinctive Cars York as he inspects and services every car before it goes out of the doors. Mick also built and maintains all the DCY demo cars; he also drove the drag car in 2005/2006 and drove in the pro class of Time Attack in 2007. Mick has an excellent history in racing, whether it's in the seat or in development as the car builder.

James is now in his second year, in the driving seat of the DCY R32 GTS-R Drift car. 2008 saw James finish 11 in the EDC which was a very good finish for his first year. 2009 paints a whole new picture, an all new spec for the car with 100bhp more on tap and more lock than Owl neck! Keep up to date with James's events and results on the Media pages.

What can we say about Curly...... Once nominated for the "biggest Pisshead" award in FHM, he never stops to amaze us. Curly and fireworks don't mix either, that ones a long story but he was unable to sit down for 4 weeks! Curly isn't really part of DCY he just keeps us entertained when we travel away to events & Shows.

Since Curlys commitments at home (he's got a bird) DCY have been looking for a replacement entertainer. Danny has been a familiar face with DCY at shows and events and his calm, chilled manor is welcomed in the pits, hIs help is much appreciated too!
