About Us
Hystory of Garage31
Garage 31 was founded in 1987 by two friends – Rusi Rusev and Vladimir Milev. At the time they were studying at the Mechanical-technical high school in Plovdiv. They started by restoring two old Mercedes-Benz: 190 1952 and 280 SE W108 1978. Since then they have dealt with all kinds of projects and repairs of a huge variety of vehicles, particularly between 1990 and 1995 when the two were studying at the Technical University of Sofia, specialising in vehicles.

Garage 31 has restored two vehicles which have gone on to become winners in Bulgarian championships.

Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution – winner of Bulgarian championship in 2010 with the Rusev/Trifonov team.
Mitsubishi Pajero 3 – winner of Bulgarian championship in 2014, again with the Rusev/Trifonov team.

През 2012г. Руси Русев случайно купува един зелен Land Cruiser BJ40 1978г.
This is where Garage 31’s newest story begins!
Once the green Cruiser was restored, huge interest was generated in these vehicles which are so much loved around the world.
At the moment Garage 31 has a collection of over 30 Land Cruisers of various models – BJ40, BJ42, BJ43, BJ45 Troop carrier, HJ45 pickup, FJ40, FJ55, HJ60, HJ61, FJ62, KZJ78, KZJ73, HZJ73, HZJ74, HJ80, VDJ76 and VDJ200.
Its collection of light Toyota vehicles is pretty big as well – Corolla – a few models between 1973 and 1982, Celica T40 convertible 1975, Cressida 1975 and Starlet 1980.
We also have a soft spot for Toyota’s legendary camper vans – Hiace 4х4. We’ve only got two in the collection at the moment – Hiace Super Custom 3,0D and Hiаce 4х4 1985.
Garage 31 also has classic vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford Transit, Jaguar, Datsun, Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen and Fiat.
Thanks to the curation it does and the work on its own collection, Garage 31 is gradually beginning work on new and interesting customer jobs – the full restoration and tuning of Toyota Land Cruisers.
