Mark Wilsmore, owner of the famous Ace Café on London’s North Circular Road, is opening its doors this Saturday, 24th September to celebrate his ‘Meguiar’s UK Car Enthusiast of the Year 2005’ award with a special party at the venue.
Mark beat 25 other nominees to the honour because of his tireless work to restore the Ace Café to its original 1950s condition and, in doing so, making it a magnet for bikers and car enthusiasts once again. Ace Café reopened in 2001.
The award was conferred by an independent panel of 12 automotive journalists specially brought together by Meguiar’s, the manufacturer of automotive "surface care products".
