Like many boys of my generation, I was obsessed with cars—Autocar magazines took priority over schoolbooks. I remember staring longingly at Porsches in Hendon Way Motors, though their £3,500 price tags were far out of reach. I settled for a BMW 1600, then spent two decades focused on career and family life. But approaching 50, I bought a 9-year-old Porsche 911. Some called it a mid-life crisis; I called it a passion. That purchase rekindled my fascination with Porsche and led to writing for a Porsche magazine, which eventually turned into a freelance career contributing to various classic car publications. I’ve since focused on Porsche history, interviewing retired company figures and contributing to international magazines. Over time, I’ve come to value the importance of preserving automotive archives. While Porsche's records are safe, others—like the Haymarket archive—have been lost during corporate moves. I often wish my father had kept his decades of Autocar issues.
