Alan Taylor-Jones

He’s now the New Cars Editor for Parkers and CAR magazine after a long stint at What Car? magazine. Alan’s appeared in Autocar and Classic & Sports Car, with a couple if pieces on Jalopnik and Pistonheads when he was just starting out.
Since then he’s tested all manner of cars, from campervans and pickup trucks to low slung sports cars and racy hot hatches and all points in between. You’ll find his writing online and on print, with the occasional appearance on YouTube, too.
Although he’s most often found writing about new cars, you’ll frequently find him behind the wheel of a Reliant Scimitar GTE and dreaming of flaky old Citroens. It’s that or playing with radio controlled cars, the big kid.
