It’s Nice to meet you!
We are Ross and Jennifer Lilleker, owners of Lilleker Antique Auto Restorations. Let us tell you a little bit more about who we are.
We both have grown up enjoying the Model T hobby with our families. Ross in England and Jennifer in Texas.
Ross was born in Chesterfield, England and graduated from Sheffield University with a mechanical engineering degree and from The University of Derby with a Masters in Business Administration. After completing college before he started full time work for Bosch Co. in England he decided that he wanted to go on a vacation in a Model T so he found a tour that went from Texas to Alaska. In June of 2001 Ross flew over to Houston, Texas to start his adventure, that is where he met Jennifer. (And that is where the adventure began.)
In 2004 Ross and Jennifer were married in England and rode to and from the church in Ross’ father, Bruce’s 1911 Towncar. They settled in College Station, Texas where Ross began working for Texas T Parts, a Model T and Model A parts supplier owned by Jennifer’s father Ben Hardeman.
In 2008 Ross decided to go into business for himself, providing restoration services under the name Lilleker Antique Auto Restorations. With his new company, Ross hopes to be able to offer the highest quality restorations services at a reasonable price. As always he will continue to work with customers one-on-one to determine their needs and produce a car that will satisfy them and offer them many years of enjoyable touring.
Jennifer manages the business side of things, and feeds and cleans up after Ross and their two young girls. A full time job, believe me! They live on 5 acres which includes Ross’ workshop, Jennifer’s petting zoo and the girls’ vegetable garden. Every chance they get they go on tours. Sometimes it’s just a parade or a day out and other times it’s a national tour. If you see us out on tour, please say hi to us. We love to talk cars. Hope to see you in your T or A soon!
