Senior Contributing Writer
After an inglorious stint in the City convinced him that he could handle cars better than he handled money, Andrew joined Autocar many years ago as a junior tester. Since then he has become one of the industry’s senior figures, writing for the national papers as well as the specialist press. When not driving exotics at Goodwood he’s racing anything from Caterhams to Ferraris. Editor of Motor Sport for five years, he now runs our road test section.

@McCons Fab. We did indeed. Well done.
Just retired hurt at 1.20am from drinking gin and grappa with 91 year old Norman Dewis. MIght be the most remarkable man I've met.
@TweetPetrol It was XKC003, third of three works Cs and 1951 Le Mans winner. All scrapped by the factory. Bit of a shame, that.
Their original MM Jag C-type no longer exists, so they'll be in XKC005 which SM used to win the first ever race on discs, at Reims in '52.
Stirling is 82, Norman is 91. They are the only known original two man MM crew alive today. Both are incredible.
