Our Team

“S30.world brings together some of the most knowledgeable S30 specialists from around the world.”

S30.world is supported by an international network of specialists, collectors and historians dedicated to preserving the legacy of the S30 platform. Together we combine decades of experience, research and passion for these remarkable cars.

The project began with the vision of founder Chris Visscher to create a platform that connects knowledge, history and enthusiasts from all S30 markets around the world.

In 2018 Chris met Kats Endo in Yokohama, where the first conversations about building such a platform took place. The idea continued to develop, and in early 2023 Chris met Florian Steinl in the Netherlands. Their shared enthusiasm for the S30 platform quickly turned into a collaboration, and from that moment the S30.world project began to accelerate.

Today the team brings together expertise from Europe, Japan, Australia and the United States.

Our Mission

But for us, this is only the beginning.
The long-term goal of S30.world is to create the most complete global overview of the S30 platform, connecting cars from all markets with factory manuals, parts catalogs, brochures and historical documentation.

Through the S30 Database, we aim to make this knowledge accessible to enthusiasts around the world.

If you have information, documentation or stories about the S30, we would love to hear from you. Every contribution helps us better understand the development and legacy of these remarkable cars.

The advisory board

Our team of experts, archivists and archaeologists are located all over the world.
Each of us specialises in different areas of interest and contributes our expertise.
