Benoit Gateau-Cumin's Friends

Benoit Gateau-Cumin's Page

About Me:: I am a 58-year-old Frenchman, and own and operate a small but successful executive search firm in Beverly Hills. My wife Susana is from Pasadena and shares my passion for classic cars. We have two dogs: Oliver, a West Highland Terrier, and Millie, a Cockapoo.

What car(s) do you own?: 1966 E type, Series 1, 4.2 liter OTS
1965 Bentley Continental S3 MPW 2-door saloon
2006 Mini Cooper S w/ John Cooper Works
2007 Lexus 350 SUV

What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?: Attend concours in my region (Southern California) and events with our local Jaguar Club of Southern California. or drive the E type up the coast all the way to Big Sur and stay at Ventana or Post Ranch.

What clubs do you belong to?: Jaguar Club of Southern California (part of JCNA)

What would you like to do (e.g. go to race school; get into Vintage Racing)?: I like to develop my research library about the card I am interested in. My interest is pretty narrowly limited to British sportscars of the sixties. That would mean the Aston Martin DB4/5/6; Austin Healeys; Triumph TR3; MGA; Morgans; Alvis; coachbuilt Rolls Royces. I would never buy a car I would not be able to drive at anytime.
I love to attend Pebble Beach or other top shows and auctions.
