Gavin has been writing about cars and the industry for nearly 20 years. He started out on Autocar magazine as a road tester (where he currently holds the record for the most spontaneous car fires), then features editor and eventually deputy editor.

Satisfying his taste for classics, Gavin did a stint as editor of Classic & Sportscar. Freelancing followed, with Gavin writing for a wide range of motoring titles – he has been writing for The Sunday Times for over a decade now, even during his three-year posting as editor of Channel 4’s motoring site 4Car.

Gavin also took a year out to edit Automobile magazine in America before returning to the UK. And he believes now is the most fascinating moment for decades, with EVs being at the heart of the action.
