Ferrari Graypaul’s name has been linked to Ferrari for over 30 years but not many people know how one of the country’s leading Ferrari dealers came to be located in Nottingham. It all started with a gentleman called David Clarke. David’s parents, Arnold & Ivy Clarke, ran a very successful box manufacturing company in Mountsorrel, Leicestershire. Read more This start in life gave David the passion for all things mechanical and the means to indulge in his passion. David’s main passion was cars and in particular Ferrari’s. As his collection grew and he employed mechanics to help him maintain and renovate his collection so his reputation spread. Soon he was being approached by other Ferrari owners asking him to work upon their cars. The factory at Mountsorrel gave him the space and resource to have a workshop that could accommodate these requests. In these early years Graypaul had an international reputation for renovating Ferrari’s and occasionally cars are still advertised as a "Graypaul Restored Car" As the business grew it was awarded main dealer status and moved to the Coneries in Loughborough. The business carried on growing and soon David decided to sell the business to the Otford group. This allowed David to pursue his other passion, and he funded the revival of the Great Central Railway in Loughborough. David also worked with local charities and left a legacy in the form of a residential home for the elderly. Graypaul went from strength to strength upon becoming a main dealer and its reputation as a supplier of Ferraris as well as a repairer grew. In 1995 Graypaul was bought by local car dealer and racing driver Frank Sytner. With Frank’s experience of selling cars Graypaul soon became one of the major players in the UK Ferrari scene. The business expanded year on year and this growth was echoed throughout the Sytner group and in 2002 the entire Group was bought by Roger Penske. Roger Penske believes in investing in businesses and having the very best facilities. This meant it was not long before it was decided to relocate Graypaul to a bigger site. Graypaul was moved to a state of the art facility in 2004. Our new dealership boasts a 60 car showroom and a workshop with 13 ramps. The workshop also incorporates a separate engine room, dinol bay as well as a wheel alignment bay. So from David Clarke` Update description
