Oil runs through Bernie's veins, and he has worked on every engine imaginable, from Fords to Ferraris. A true cockney, born and bred in Bow, east London, Bernie got his first job at age 11 greasing taxis for 12 hours each Saturday. At 13, he started an apprenticeship in a garage and it wasn't long before he was learning the ins and outs of cars made by esteemed manufacturers such as Jaguar, Rolls Royce, and Aston Martin. 

He has subsequently worked as a business consultant helping to turn around ailing motor businesses all over the globe, from Guatemala to El Salvador and Bethnal Green via Belize.

He is most proud of the Eco Car in Series 1, which was also probably the greatest challenge. To completely change the fuel system of a car to make it environmentally friendly is something that he will never forget.

After 50 years in the motor trade Bernie is at the height of his success running the Chop Shop garage. It has been the happiest time of his life, and he hopes to still be doing up, modifying and tuning cars until he can’t lift a spanner any more.
