Russell Hayes originates from Somerset, England and now lives in London. During fourteen years' of motoring journalism in print, television and online, clients included the BBC's original Top Gear programme, Channel 4's Driven, The Times and London Evening Standard. Since 2007 he's written an eclectic mix of seven motoring history books on subjects as diverse as the story of the Earls Court Motor Show, the Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Beetle and Bus, and the Aston Martin V8 cars of 1969-2000. The Lotus and Volkswagen Golf histories are available as German editions. Many of the books were his own concept and he loves nothing better than rooting around in photo archives for that rare image!
