Christopher Smith
Founder & CEO
In 2008, Chris formed “East Coast Muscle Cars,” a company based in the United Kingdom where the retail of special interest vehicles would take place after procurement from other countries around the world. During this time Chris acted as the European Representative for a well-known United States based Collector Car Auction House for several years, helping with inspection and authentication of rare marques. Journalism attracted Chris to many racetracks and events with work published in Europe and the United States, leading to a permanent move to the USA in 2016.
In 2019 after 16 years in Global Shipping and Logistics, Chris formed Mr. Smith LLC to help companies extend their reach for sales in new and overseas destinations with the aid of bespoke marketing and media strategies.
Chris is well known in the automotive industry, and attends many collector car auctions in his spare time. He has also been a key note speaker for the “Next Gen Education Summit” for disadvantaged children speaking in Texas and Indiana. Car racing has also given Chris the opportunity to raise funds for charities such as the Make a Wish Foundation, The Brock Yates Tribute Fund for Alzheimer’s and the Veterans Association.
