Thomas Vintage Motors has been in the business of restoring and preparing vintage race and collector cars since 1987. We endeavor to achieve an authentically prepared car, true to its designer's intent and builder's techniques to the highest possible standards, yet not overlook selected modern improvements as required by our customers.
Tom Ellis
A mechanically minded individual from the time he designed and built his first go-kart at age ten, to working for Bob Seiffert at Sports and Vintage Motors just out of college, Tom opened his first shop in 1981. Ten years after getting some friends together to start Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing - RMVR, Tom decided to sell the service and repair shop and concentrate solely on restoring vintage cars.
Kris Ellis
Kris started working with cars under the tutelage of her father before she could drive. When she got into vintage racing in 1985, her focus shifted from American V8's to European sportscars. Though she knew Tom from RMVR, their paths didn't connect until she was hired by Tom to apprentice at the shop. She races a FV, and has a love for brass-era and antique autos as evidenced by the projects in her garage.
Ross Barton
Ross developed a keen interest in classic cars during his childhood, spending countless hours wrenching on them alongside his grandfather and father in their garage. This early exposure fueled his passion for automotive restoration and led him to pursue a degree in the field. In 2006, he graduated from McPherson College with a Bachelor's degree in Automotive Restoration.
Following his studies, Ross spent five years honing his craft at the prestigious REVS Institute in Florida before eventually returning to his native Colorado. His expertise and love for cars extend to pre-war classics and European sports cars, making him a sought-after professional in the automotive restoration community.
