hope you have enjoyed seeing some of the recent writings which have appeared on my social platforms LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
The responses to the most recent newsletter have provoked another question to follow Art or Function. During the last month, I have been discussing whether it is enough to have modern cars in historic clothing? Below are some of the posts – thank you to all those who expressed a view. There was no clear conclusion!
Things are now running quickly towards the publication of my book, The Past and The Spurious – The Case of Legitimacy in Historic Cars, and I look forward to updating you next month with a publication date.
Best wishes

What do you think?

Next weekend sees the beginning of my race season with our Cooper T49 Monaco in the Robert Brooks Trophy at the 79th Members’ Meeting at Goodwood. This year’s MM also sees a demonstration of Group C cars.
