After training as a mechanic at a Vauxhall dealership, Phil Benfield joined Allon White Sports Cars, the oldest Morgan dealership in the UK. Starting as a technician in 1991, he then progressed to running the workshop and used car sales. As the business has grown he now concentrates on new and used car sales, and accident and restoration estimates. He is an Advanced Automotive Engineer with the Institute of the Motor Industry and Associate member of the Institute of Automotive Engineer Assessors. Phil also contributes to Morgan articles in UK motoring magazines, and enjoys painting and tinkering with his Morris Minor in his free time.
