Aero Concept

Aero Concept at Bentleys: Aero Concept was founded in Tokyo in 2003 and grew out of the philosophy, skill and passion of its creator, Keiichi Sugano. These beautiful and practical objects are testament to Sugano’s art and creativity – from taking his original idea to using his hands and vision to bring together materials and tools to make it a reality.

William Medcalf

We have found a kindred spirit in William Medcalf, one of the country’s leading vintage Bentley restorers. William has recently moved to purpose built workshops in West Sussex and a mutual customer introduced us. William is passionate, exceptionally knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm for his craft and the array of Bentleys that he cares for is spectacular.
