Really great to see Sebring International up and running and in the more than safe hands of Sophie Fisher and Phil Overall. We’ve got a feature done, which will appear in the forthcoming July/August issue of TKC Mag, and we spent an enjoyable couple of hours with them at their Cheltenham base.

If you’re interested in motorsport, particularly, the British Touring Car Championship, then Phil’s name might be familiar as over a 30-year period he’s worked with most of the leading teams and drivers, starting with John Fitzpatrick right up to current day pedallers such as Jason Plato and Colin Turkington. He’s the ‘go to’ guy for getting a highly strung touring car set up to be competitive.

As a result, I think it’s great that he’s now involved with our industry and it can only be good for Sebring and the enthusiastic and loyal band of owners. Thinking about it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a badly built Sebring and that says a lot about the marque.

Phil and Sophie are open for business right now, although they plan a major launch at January’s Autosport International. They have plans, big, yet highly achievable, plans. In the meantime, spare parts are available as are SX, Exalt and TMX and MXR kits. All models bar the ZX, really.

As mentioned, you can read the feature in the next issue in TKC Mag (in the shops July 3) and find out more at www.sebringinternational.co.uk or 07753 717 552 ENDS.
