It was rallying in old cars that pulled GC into this motoring business, so as a veteran of the early Classic Marathons the historic rally hobby was an appropriate place to kick off a new column on the historic scene. Over the coming months he will visit a wide range of old-car subjects whether racing, trialling, restoring or even just talking about them with friends. Sometimes that’s the best fun of all.

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
