The first Vindis
was a pilot.

Frank Vindis took off from Duxford in the summer of 1940 — a young Czech in an alien sky, flying a Supermarine Spitfire against the Luftwaffe. No. 310 was the first Czechoslovak squadron formed within the Royal Air Force; thirteen pilots earned the right to wear its crest in the Battle of Britain.

Twenty years later, on the ground in Cambridgeshire, Frank opened a small Volkswagen dealership in Sawston. The same eye for craft. The same regard for machines built by hand and trusted with one's life.

What grew from that quiet 1960 forecourt is now Three Ten — a curated hangar of pre-owned motor cars, named for the squadron that gave Frank his wings.
