Educating Essex

Boyden Barlow is our favourite type of car guy. He’s been a fully-fledged petrolhead for his entire life, and he’s got a supremely focused eye for how to build a unique and alluring show car, as well as the skills and contacts to carry these ideas out to flawless perfection. But at the same time, he’s not out to impress anyone; Boyden builds cars the way he does simply for the love of the craft. It’s all fuelled by passion, he lives for this stuff and he’s really good at making it happen. Most importantly, while he does build cars to a show-and-shine-winning finish and he enjoys displaying them, they’re primarily built to be used. And used hard. See, he’s a guy with a heavy right foot and a supernatural talent for precise horsepower deployment, never happier than when he’s drifting a self-built weapon or tearing up the mean streets of Essex.
