The Platform

The people behind the cars

Our team

Already for a long time Chris had the idea to create a platform that would connect all the worldwide markets for S30s. In 2018 Chris met Kats Endo in Yokohama and talked about the idea, but it needed still some time to get it done. In early 2023 Chris met finally Florian in the Netherlands to see how they could work together. The meeting was very successful and from that point the project began to pick up speed. The target was to get the most knowledgeable on board from all over the world.

So we are extremely proud and happy to announce that we found Kats Endo (Japan), Alan Thomas (London), Nils Ehrat (CH), Jeff Agner (Los Angeles), Gavin Dolan (Australian), Jon Prynn (UK/NL)and Jos van der Aart (The Netherlands) our team members. Without their knowledge and support, we could not do what we strive to do.
Florian is based in Frankfurt, Germany and is responsible for the development of The Platform, the website, marketing and also contributes a lot to our database. Chris is the founder of S30.world and runs The Museum in the Netherlands and is responsible for parts reproduction.

But for us this is only the beginning. The goal of S30.world The Platform is to get a complete overview of all S30s produced for all markets, connected with the factory manuals, parts manuals and brochures and to show it to you in The Database. So if you have something to add to this, please contact us to tell the story about the development of the car first hand. Also, to tell as much as possible, stories from people enjoying their S30s.
