It may be unnecessary to here describe Jeff Beck (born 24 June 1944) as one of the best guitar players since the 1960s.

His remarkable journey in the Rock'n'roll world is best found on his official site and Wikipedia.

Few people know however, that Jeff always have been very keen into Hot Rods. He have been quite reticent on this hobby to the public.
In fact, Jeff really is a builder and does many of the mechanical jobs himself on his cars, even many is bought from other builders, in the UK and US.

Together with Eric Clapton, John Bonham, James Hetfield, Billy Gibbons, Jimmy Vaughan, Jeff is a real custom car enthusiast and attends meetings and shows.

In 1975, Swedish journalist Bo Bertilsson succeeded to meet Jeff at his estate in Sussex. It resulted in an article in Colorod Magazine showing some a Jeff's cars.

We know that Andy Brizio has built several cars for Jeff, as well as his son Roy Brizio Street Rods in later years.

The T-23 shown in the pictures in in fact mostly built by Jeff himself in England, with parts from Andy's shop in USA.
By recommendations, he swapped the 4bbl carburator on the CSB 350 engine to a "blower-kit", 4-71 GMC blower including manifold etc. from Andy.

At the time he also had a 1932 3-windows Ford coupe bought from USA as a dragrace car, and a 1932 Ford sedan with SBC 327 ci engine!

We are not updated on how many cars Jeff owns today, but we are sure there are many both in UK and in the USA!
