His original focus was to use the Shed for advertising - believing that major organisations would be interested in using a car covered in wood as a replacement for an online marketing strategy.
Nicks took twelve months to build the steel frame and wooden shiplap bodywork, install the engine and to make the vehicle roadworthy.
[4] In mid 2017, Nicks drove Fastest Shed from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise funds for a hospice charity.
[1] Fastest Shed's original build was based on a Volkswagen Passat 4Motion, including its 190 bhp (140 kW) engine.
[3] Later, the engine power was increased to 265 bhp (198 kW) by fitting it with a nitrous oxide injection kit.
