About Us

Rebecca’s passion for cars runs deep, and it’s no surprise considering her upbringing. Raised in a car-centric environment by her father, a car trader, Rebecca’s childhood was filled with the unmistakable smell of Castrol R and a love for classic American cars. Unlike most girls her age, her early years were spent building mud tracks to race her Matchbox cars or tinkering with her toy car garage instead of playing with dolls.

Her natural affinity for cars led her to pursue a career in the automotive industry. Starting with stints at both Renault and Peugeot main dealers, Rebecca’s journey eventually led her to Haynes Manuals as a PR manager, before establishing Eventageous PR, which has grown into a successful business in the world of motorsport and automotive PR.

“I get paid to go to and manage events that if I weren’t working at, I’d be paying to go to myself!” she says, feeling incredibly fortunate to have combined her professional life with her passion.

At 40, Rebecca had what she fondly calls a “midlife car crisis.” She sold her cherished 1970 MG Midget, which her husband had lovingly restored, and replaced it with something far more outrageous: a 1952 Ford Popular Roadster Pickup. This hot rod, featuring a 3-litre V6 engine, a Triumph Herald front clip, and an Escort Mk2 rear axle, is chopped, lowered, and a “money pit.” It’s loud, stinky, and uncomfortable, but Rebecca describes it as “pure joy on wheels,” adding that it’s all about the experience, not just the car. “My family thinks I’m absolutely crazy, but to me, it’s not just about the car; it’s a way of life. Classic car ownership is about expressing yourself, right?” she laughs.

In classic Rebecca fashion, she couldn’t help but get overly excited when her new bucket seats arrived, even spending an entire night on the living room floor pretending to drive. Her love for car parts, chrome, and all things automotive continues to consume her, and she jokes, “What girl doesn’t love a bit of bling?”

Rebecca’s passion extends beyond the car itself. In true petrolhead style, she’s incorporated her love for cars into her home. Among her eclectic decor is an American petrol pump in her kitchen, a gift she bought herself, as well as walls adorned with Bluebird and Campbell artwork.

From the tracks she created as a child to her current “work in progress” hot rod, her passion for cars continues to define her in every aspect of her life.

Testimonials

"We worked with Rebecca for our annual 'Round Britain Coastal Drive, supporting Prostate Cancer UK' over four years twice for Jaguar E-types and twice for classic Jaguar XKs. Our aim was not only to raise funds but also, just as crucially, awareness. Hence publicity was vitally important. Rebecca did a superb job and we achieved widespread coverage on local radio, and in local and national newspapers, including a superb spread on the front page of the Daily Telegraph Business News. We raised a quarter of a million pounds and gathered widespread publicity. The charity was overjoyed and lives saved"

Her infectious enthusiasm and diligent professionalism, Rebecca steered the event through its press launch and enabled us to meet press and relevant celebrities that otherwise would never have been reached.

"Rebecca does Public Relations brilliantly. Her clients are effortlessly represented, and their products and services are always fairly depicted. On a business relationship level, I never feel harassed or pushed by Rebecca, if I make any requests, she always deals with them quickly, professionally, and most importantly, in a way that clearly shows a full understanding of what's needed editorially. And more than that, she sometimes wears sparkly Christian Louboutins - an example to the rest of them!"

Keith Adams
Editor Classic Car Weekly

"Rebecca Leppard is a very unusual lady. First, her knowledge of the motor sport and motoring worlds is considerable, which makes her an obvious choice for clients large and small in these markets. Second, she is a master of the difficult art of getting the ear of people in the media. As a result her ability to get mileage in newspapers, general and specialised magazines, and on radio and TV is remarkable. Third, she is an indefatigable hard worker, exploring every possible avenue to give her clients what they need and persistently leaving no stone unturned. From work she has done with projects with which I have been associated, I cannot fault her ability to go above and beyond her clients' expectations."
