Nick Huston - Specialist

A native of Raleigh, North Carolina and graduate of N.C. State University, Nick has always had a passion for cars -- starting with the Volkswagen Beetle he received from his grandparents when he was 13 (with which he terrorized the neighborhood before he could even legally drive). Since then he’s owned at least 40 European classics, with a focus on Porsches and BMWs. All through college he was active in the Sports Car Club of America and the BMW Car Club of America, and he put in hours upon hours of track time at road courses across the southeast as both a driver and instructor. After undergrad, Nick managed and grew a successful BMW shop in Raleigh and later worked for a large classic car dealership in Atlanta before starting Motorcar Studio in 2012. Nick has a keen sense for the market and directs the company's buying and pricing strategy. His personal cars inclue a 1979 Ford Bronco, a 997 Carrera 2 Manual Coupe, a 1985 E23 BMW 535i (which his grandmother bought new), a 1973 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible and a 1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster.
