Oxford Car Audio Reborn!
Bloody hell, it takes big hairy cojones in these times of a shrinking industry to take over a car audio shop business and launch it afresh but that’s exactly what the guys who have taken over at Oxford Car Audio have done. It’s less startling than you might think when you take into account that the dude behind it is Steve ‘˜Lem’ Le Masurier. He’s the least-known superb installer in the UK! (But I think I aughta change that.)
His work is literally beautiful. With curves, fit, finish and use of cabling all simply craftsman-like. He is the favoured installer of the Alpine folks and you cannot hear him spoken highly enough of by the top knobs at Alpine. Their Passat is one of his installs.
In six weeks flat, Lem and his new business partner Mark Watson have refitted the shop, repainted the amazing VW Beetle they have and even finished the sexy install that I saw briefly when visiting a place it was being stored before the revamp.
Pretty Car
This is one to watch and a new real centre of hands-on fitting and design excellence in a lovely part of the world. What we need to have happen for these guys is for the right high end car dealerships to notice them as well as the terribly nice High Net Value folks of Oxfordshire.
Posh new shop insides
The Beetle is bonkers and Lem said, ‘|We’re going to visit as many shows as possible and promote the new business and show car like crazy!’ He also revealed that they have 70GB of film to edit down to make a YouTube video of the paint and install being done, so we’ll bring you that as soon as it’s shown to us.
