Things don’t always work out. In the car industry, just like in every other sector – and life in general – often, the plan just doesn’t come together the way people hope. Sometimes it’s a complete disaster; sometimes it’s less than that and ends up being a lesson, a learning opportunity…and other times, after the … More A (Very) Late Happy Birthday to the XJ220
After a long and unexpected break, Automotive Views is back! For the first time, we had the opportunity to enjoy the Cascais Classic Motorshow, an event set on the coastal town of Cascais, Portugal. With a very interesting set of classics on the lawn at the local racecourse (concours) and open parking spaces for private … More Automotive Views at the Cascais Classic Motorshow

I rarely get to update AV, once a month is usually all I manage. I keep wishing … More A Milestone
A little over a year ago I decided to write an article called The List; it featured the 20 cars I’d absolutely have to get if I had the money to spend on a “dream garage”…The article was well received and for a long time that was that, all good. But cars being one of … More The List – Part II
