Quentin Willson the celebrity TV presenter, journalist and motoring expert talks to asrecommended about his life and cars.
How did you go from studying English to selling Ferraris and Maserati’s?
I studied English at Leicester and back then if you wanted to be important you had to have a car, so I bought an Austin Healy Frogeye for £50 and later sold it for £150. It grew naturally from there and by the end of university I sold a Jaguar e-type for £1,500 that I had bought for £750. It certainly funded an intense nightlife and the girls loved it!

Vicki Butler Henderson Talks to asrecommended
VBH - Vicki Butler-Henderson the celebrity TV presenter, motoring expert and racing driver talks to asrecommended about her life and cars.
How did you first get into cars?
VBH: My father used to be in the British Karting team so it was natural that I got a kart too, except it was powered by an engine from a lawn mower. But it gave me the appetite to go faster and at 12 I started racing, then by 17 I had become a racing instructor at Silverstone. Fun though it was I needed to begin a ‘serious’ career and took my first job as editorial assistant at a magazine called Car Mechanics. The magazine sent me on an editorial course at the popular Max Power magazine and I was subsequently offered a promotion as Staff Writer for the magazine and then road tester for Auto Express and What Car? This ultimately led to a phone call from Top Gear saying they were after the female appeal.
