Mark Ashcraft has been an automotive enthusiast all his life. He pretty much lives, eats and breaths cars. He built model cars when he was a boy, worked at his family-owned Saab, Fiat and Citroen car dealership as a teenager and spent over 30 years as a car designer for Saab Design in Sweden and Honda R&D North America in California. He loves motorsports and has raced and rallied his own cars since he was 16 year old. He has a particular fondness for vintage Saab V4 cars and now owns the Saab V4 parts and restoration business his father Jack Ashcraft started in the late 1980’s. |
