My baptism into research came when I studied Music at King’s College, Cambridge, electing to focus on music history. Thereafter, I longed for work that could use my skills in historical research. With a lifelong love of cars and a fascination with automotive engineering, it became apparent during my first project – Jaguar C-type XKC 044 – that historic car research was my métier.

Many projects down the line, my work has shed light on some automotive treasures and I have seen how my work can enrich the lives of the owners (some of whom were very excited as the facts were uncovered). I am proud to have written books on specific cars and to have prepared historic reports for two Pebble Beach Concours entries, both of which resulted in awards.

In my view, all historic cars have a story worth telling – and I take great pleasure in elucidating their often complex and deeply interesting histories. If I can help you get the most out of your historic car, feel free to contact me below.
