Meet the Team

Sloan Gubner

Co-Founder

With a background in finance and a lifelong obsession with older German cars, I balance genuine enthusiasm with a practical, market-focused mindset. I’ve always been drawn to Mercedes-Benz icons like the R107 and Pagoda SL, as well as the “land yacht” era of Mercedes — the W140 S-Class, C215 CL, and other over-engineered Benzes of that time.

That said, I also appreciate modern enthusiast platforms — the F8X BMW (M3/M4) being a prime example. Outside of SVJ, you’ll likely find me out with friends, in the gym, or trying a new restaurant — probably still talking about cars.

Johnson Thompson

Co-Founder

Outside of business, most of my free time ends up in the gym — staying active and keeping the routine tight. I’m also big on Italian food and always down to try a new spot. I’ve been an automotive fan for as long as I can remember and enjoy getting out to well-run, sanctioned car meets when time allows.
