NEW GLASGOW - This reporter has often peeked through the windows at Bespoke Motor Company on Provost Street and measured the progress of the vehicles being resto-modded there. An invite from mechanic/lead technician Jeff Fraser let me see things up close.
Two of those Toyotas are ready for customers, Fraser said. Both finished models will soon be featured on bringatrailer.com, an online auction site. “We're looking international with the internet and social media and everything. There’s no such thing as a small town anymore. We’re going to try to hit worldwide. Ideally, we’d love to have them all stay in Canada or at least North America, but we’d be more than happy to help people shipping them wherever they want.”Charles Hyslop brings a wealth of off-road vehicle experience to the team at Bespoke Motor Company.
“We’d love to do four a year. That’s our target right now to build four a year. If we can build more, great.” “The last four we actually got from one gentleman; he was in Ontario. He had purchased them in Arizona and brought them up and already had Canadian titles and everything. It was a lot easier just getting them through him, than for us to search them out and try go and get them. A couple of them we have got ourselves. Basically, find them online and get a shipping company to truck them up here.
When Fraser turned the key, the small block eight cylinder engine rumbled and the glass-panel instrument cluster sprang to life. The dash is very clean with just a few control buttons and a satellite phone. You get the impression that this is a no-nonsense off-roader, not an SUV made for trips to the grocery store.
