Dave Gilmour accepting his ABFM 2014 Lew Lewis award for 32 years of British car repair, supplying parts, giving out information and contributing to the British Car Collector’s community.

Shortly thereafter he realized his love for British cars and took on an 8 year apprenticeship tailored to Jaguars, and in 1982 earned his license through the British Columbia Institute of Technology. David’s entrepreneurial spirit and love for cars drove him to open his own business restoring and repairing numerous collectibles including: Morgans, Jaguars, Healeys, Triumphs, and various Bentleys and Austins.

In 1986 he officially formed BMC Motorworks and began racing and being involved in Pit-crew management in Formula Ford, Formula 2000, Sports Racing, and Atlantic racing up until 1990. Following that, he retired from racing, and further concentrated on quality restoration and repair of British and European automobiles. To this date David continually prides himself on quality diagnosis, repair, and restoration with the highest degree of honesty and integrity.

David and BMC are your pit crew, for the most important drive of your life: “Your drive home.”
