From the cheapest of furniture to the fastest supercars.

The towering building at Petergate that dominates Bradford's skyline has had a radical change of pace.

For where furniture used to be its stock in trade, now the showroom is home to some of the most exotic supercars money can buy.

Bradford businessman Afzal Khan has upped sticks from an industrial estate off Thornton Road to the showroom and business suite in Petergate, bringing Ferraris, Porsches and Lambourghinis with him.

And Auto Design Technics' selection of customised luxury cars has had groups of passers-by peering through its windows. Started up in Bradford in 1991 by owner Afzal Khan, ADT's move represents a major shift of commercial gear. Financial director Mohammed Mansha said: "This is an exciting time because we're moving from small-company status to that of a medium-sized company.

"We've been in this building just two days now and the amount of attention we're attracting already is amazing."

As Kahn Design, the company sells its own alloy wheels, designed by Mr Khan and produced in Italy.

Through its V12 Specialist Cars company, meanwhile, ADT imports and customises high-performance vehicles to its clients' specifications. This can involve designing branded leather interiors, adding spoilers, adjusting suspension and modifying wheels, exhausts or lighting.

Reflecting on the company's success, Snowar 'Snowy' Kahn said: "When something's exclusive and personal, people want it.

"We cater for all kinds of cars and it doesn't matter what kind you're talking about -- whether a Ferrari or a Ford, people will pay for that little extra.

"We're happy to give special deals to Bradford people."

ADT enjoyed a £1 million turnover with Kahn Design last year and is confident of doubling its 10-strong workforce within the next 12 months.

"We're very, very excited about the move and we look forward to welcoming the public when we're officially up and running on Monday," said Mr Khan.
