What Drives Us
Our Mission
Our Mission here is to finally create a bridge for Americans looking real vehicles overseas and to provide this service at a fair price. Away from scammers, away from overpriced dealers and restoration shops. We keep pride in being one of the only importers who actually cares about the vehicles story and originality.
What Drives Us
Apart from our obvious automotive passions, there’s a few aspects which drove us to start this adventure. Our Co-founder, Jackson, raised in MA but spending time between both New England and the Iberian Peninsula as a dual EU/US citizen, always kept an eye on the car marketplace wherever he was traveling. Originally seeing Land Rover Series and other 4x4’s in incredible condition in Spain/Portugal, starting having the dream of bringing these otherwise holy grail vehicles back home to his fellow rust-ridden New Englanders. Feeling that it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to somehow mix his automotive passions, his childhood roots in New England, and his family connections to Europe, he decided to make the big jump and import his first vehicle; a 1980 Land Rover Santana Series III 109”. After a about a million heart attacks, the vehicle finally reached US soil and sold to our first customer, Sam B. (pictured on our homepage with his stellar review). The feeling of seeing the new owner’s smile and relief, combined with us being the only importer with actually family connections to the Iberian peninsula (we believe at least), makes this job as absolute dream to us. We take pride that our customers reviews, and we’re happy to offer such rare vehicles at fair prices which Americans deserve.
Our Organization
We’re made up of two co-owners; Jackson Farrell and Jeff Stauffer, with technical assistance from ASE certified master mechanic Mike Gaudet. Jackson handles operations overseas while Jeff collects, stores, and displays each vehicle back home for customers.
Jeff is a longtime business owner from PA who also specialized in classic Lotus, Land Rover, and Range Rover Classic collections and restorations. Ask him about his beloved Lotus Esprit’s and the original Breaking Bad Pontiac Aztec from the show’s set!
Jackson, racing his 90’s 3000GT VR4 in high school and working in a repair shop to put himself through his International Business degree, is a trilingual automotive/history/language nerd putting his obsessions to work here at BCI. With knowledge not just of the automotive markets in EU, but also on how business operates there in stark contrast to the US, he’s the navigator in each car’s journey to the States.
