The Passion Burns Bright

What began as Shane and Karen Mustoe's shared passion for European and American collector cars has evolved into 20,000 square feet of showroom, mechanical repair and body shop space, otherwise known as Brighton Motorsports and Brighton Ranch Paint & Body. These two entities work together seamlessly under one umbrella to deliver an old-world commitment to excellence while servicing your vehicle and assuring your complete satisfaction.

Shane's first sports car was a 1964 MGB. He bought it in 1972 while he was in high school. By the age of 20 he had bought and sold numerous British, Italian and iconic American Cars. While Shane's taste in cars is very diverse and eclectic, he recognizes the common thread that binds car people together and enjoys them as much as the cars themselves. In his opinion, “cars are meant to be driven.” Accordingly, he is proud to offer many driver-quality automobiles in the Brighton collection, thereby keeping his own passion alive as well as that of other driver-collectors.

Karen Mustoe

Karen's love for cars began in childhood. She grew up in Texas where she and her father would ride motorcycles and follow changes in car design with keen interest. To this day, attending a great car auction takes precedence over a day of shopping with the girls. In 1988, Karen moved to Scottsdale where she began a career in sales and marketing. Brighton Motorsports provides her the opportunity to combine her business acumen with her passion for cars. Karen's favorite part of the day is sharing her love of cars with her customers.


Tracy Keck

Tracy Keck - Sales Manager

As our Sales Manager, Tracy Keck is the newest member of the Brighton Motorsports team. Tracy has had affection for cars since his father and brother tinkered with early 1970’s Corvettes, MG’s, and others in the family garage. This later motivated him to purchase a vehicle to pride for himself…a Jaguar XJ-6. His love for fine automobiles continues to this day.

Tracy was born and raised in Defiance, Ohio and graduated from Bowling Green State University with two business degrees. He has a long and highly successful entrepreneurial and business development background. Exceptional customer relationship, marketing and management skills were developed in the financial services and LED Lighting industry. Those critical experiences have since been transferred into the promotion of Classic and Vintage Automobiles. He adores his beautiful wife, Kimberly, as well as his grade school daughter Lola and toddler son Vincent. In addition to family life, Tracy enjoys anything outdoors as well as his Arizona Diamondbacks.

Tracy is truly passionate about and grateful for the opportunity to work with Brighton Motorsports and such fine automobiles. Joining collectors and enthusiasts with their picture perfect vehicle is satisfying and a dream come true.
