Phil Bell - group editor
Phil has edited Classic Cars since 2004 and still can’t believe how lucky he is to do this and get paid for it. His current classic is a 1962 Jaguar E-type fixedhead coupé that regularly raids his bank account, and before that he owned a string of multi-cylinder cars that he still misses, including a Porsche 911, a couple of TVRs and several Ford Capris.
Joe Breeze - production editor
Joe studied car design before deciding to write about them instead. So he brought fresh perspective when he joined us in 2017, along with an enthusiasm for classics that actually work, hence a CV that includes several BMWs including his current 2001 530i Sport manual that he continues to smarten up.
Sam Dawson - news editor
We lured Sam away from the world of freelance in 2012 to unleash his passion for agile, four-cylinder sporting cars on the Classic Cars readership, so when he bought a 1995 Chevrolet Camaro, it took us by surprise. Since then he's returned to form with a Toyota MR2 MkIII. His motoring CV includes the first three generations of Toyota MR2s, a Porsche 924, Chevrolet Camaro, Mercedes W124 Coupé and more in between than we can remember. His latest drive is a 2002 Toyota Celica VVTi which he hopes will blend the fun of his last MR2 with the practicality of the Honda Civic Si he owned at the time.
Garry Mears - art editor
After years spent designing motorcycle titles, Garry came clean about a suppressed love of cars when he joined us in 2011. His past includes hot Minis and BMWs and at least 10 bikes, and he now keeps himself entertained with a BMW E46 Coupé and Triumph Street Triple.
Quentin Willson - columnist
After becoming a household name presenting Top Gear and The Car’s The Star, Quentin brought a lifetime of buying, enjoying and selling cool cars with him when he joined us in 2005. His enviable motoring CV stretches from a Maserati Ghibli that he owned as a student to the 1964 Ford Mustang convertible he runs now. On Classic Cars he’s on a monthly mission to help you outsmart the market too.
