EURO HOT UPS

WHEN IT comes to standing out on the road, classic cars fend for themselves amongst the flocks of modern metal.
EURO HOT UPS

Sometimes, however, owners of modern cars want to know they are driving a one-of-a-kind ride that can't be rivalled.

Euro Empire Auto embodies this feeling, providing modern car parts and modifications to create unique European rides.

Inspired by his own struggles to source interesting parts for his Mercedes A250, owner Sam Robinson says he wanted to create a space where enthusiasts could source anything with ease.

"I always strayed away from the traditional parts and wanted to be a bit different in my build, a bit more unique," he says.

"I was always having to look at random websites and other alternatives overseas to get parts that weren't available to me in Australia.

"I'd have to do hours and hours of research to find parts that normal sites in Australia weren't offering." The difficulties inspired him to set up his own shop, ordering stock to his home garage.

"And that's how it all started. I've loved cars my whole life, and of course, the parts that come with that."
