'Richard Chapman likes to joke that his claim to fame is being treated to a cup
of tea by James May, one of the trio of presenters on the hit former British
motoring show Top Gear.

It's a sign of his tastes.

The English expat, who now calls the historic port city of Fremantle in Western
Australia home, is a car nut — a self-described "petrol head".

"I've absolutely adored cars ever since I knew what a car was," Chapman says.

While that love has always extended to muscle cars, Chapman does not
discriminate.

These days, it equally applies to electric vehicles, or EVs.

"They're just incredible cars," he explains.

"And for me, being a petrol head ever since I was a child, I never thought I'd
quite embrace the EV thing so fully."'
