Simon Wright is the Founder of Limited 100, an online store that specializes in exclusive handcrafted automotive wall art. Being an automotive enthusiast from a very young age, Simon was inspired to start Limited100 because he felt that there was a gap in the market for the world’s car enthusiasts who have a love for imagery. Limited 100 grew from one artist (Paul Ward) to six artists including Tim Wallace, who was at one point McLaren’s official photographer. More recently Johan Wedenström who was Saab’s official photographer was added. The business has grown organically, with artists approaching him rather than the other way around. He now has more than 400 different artworks on the site with the goal being to offer an image of every interesting car and motorbike that has ever existed.
