Tim McNair, owner of Grand Prix Concours in Blue Bell, was recently featured in an article by The New York Times titled “The Art of Making a Classic Car Ready for Its Close-up”.

The article describes McNair’s livelihood: making sure that collector cars arrive at premier competitions as perfect as possible, including a Ferrari Enzo that was awarded a perfect 100-point score at the Cavallino Classic in Pebble Beach, Florida.

An excerpt:

His decades of experience have accrued since his start as a 15-year-old, progressing through his time as a Mercedes-Benz technician and now providing high-end show preparation.

Mr. McNair takes his skills and encyclopedic knowledge of classics and racecars — as well as fastidiously organized cases of cleaners and obscure spare parts — to the garages and workshops of collectors, applying the finishing touches to cars that have already been refurbished or, in some cases, preserved in near-original condition.
