A Bit About Us
Christopher Lee Red Plum Automotive, Founder and Director, established Red Plum Automotive six years ago after working in sales and management for fifteen years for the three main German marques in Australia.
He saw a gap in the prestige car buying and selling market for customers looking for a more personalised service across all brands, not just one. To advise and buy and sell cars for clients who either did not have time themselves to undertake the task or were unhappy with past purchasing experiences.
He bases the business on client and business referral and focuses on customer outcomes.
After searching to buy his own vintage Kombi split window without success he saw an opportunity in Brazil. He and his partner travelled to Brazil to meet and establish a business relationship with the best restorers in the business. Along the way, they connected with a great Dutch guy and his wife at Kombi Kings and the deal was sealed. The dream to own and import the best fully restored Kombis into Australia was a reality.
This approach has taken the business from Strength to Strength...
