f there is a theme to this issue then it is probably designers. Our interview with Frank Stephenson got held over from last month, but was worth waiting for. He really gave us the inside line on what it is like to design products that people want to buy. Free Car Mag once owned a BMW X5 and that was one of the first and most handsome of the modern SUVs. Watch the Chasing Perfect DVD to find out so much more. Also a designer of strange things is Ed China. He's written a great book about his fascinating career so far and even chatted to us about it. Then there is Gordon Murray whose career is far from over and has been rewarded with a CBE. Formula One and some of the most fabulous road cars ever. Finally, Niki Lauda has passed away. A wonderful example to everyone about how to approach life. We reproduce some pages from way back in Issue 11 as our own tribute. Watch that Untold Story DVD. See you next time.

News, Events & Celebs Volkswagen starts its European campaign for the launch of the T-Cross
VW T-CROSS AND CARA DELEVINGNE
Cara Delevingne has been among the best-known models for almost a decade and has also enjoyed success as a singer, actress, activist and businesswoman. In her private life, she enjoys surfing, is passionate about playing the drums and takes photographs. In Volkswagen’s new campaign. For the first time Volkswagen will advertise on the walkway bridge at the Westfield Shopping Centre at Stratford City, with an innovative and striking lenticular display.

#MORETHAN1THING
Cara Delevingne says about the T-Cross: “I think the T-Cross reflects me and my personality in the way that it’s fun, it’s young, it’s diverse, it’s versatile, it can go from one thing to another as quick as you need it to go. … It’s fast and sleek and I mean…It’s everything.” Photograph courtesy of Volkswagen. 4 freecarmag.com
Gerry McGovern + Sir Richard Branson
RANGE ROVER ASTRONAUT EDITION
Inside, the Astronaut Edition features a crafted piece of the spaceship’s front landing skid that flew on Virgin Spaceship Unity’s first space flight in December 2018. Part of that skid, which provides the spaceship with a highly effective, lightweight braking mechanism, has been re-purposed to form two discs within the cup holders. One of these references a quote which Richard Branson often makes to his fellow Future Astronauts - ‘See you up there’ -and the other features the details of the space flight. Once a Future Astronaut has flown to space, and becomes an astronaut, this will be swapped out with part of the wooden skid from that customer’s own spaceflight, personally inscribed with the specific details of a life changing experience.
PARTNERSHIP WITH VIRGIN GALACTIC
The Astronaut Edition features distinctive exterior and interior design elements celebrating this once in a lifetime experience and Virgin Galactic’s unique community of Future Astronauts. A unique Zero Gravity Blue paint finish inspired by the depth and intensity of the night sky demonstrates Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations’ state-of-the-art technologies and exceptional attention to detail. A bespoke puddle lamp illumination design features the silhouette of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo while unique Astronaut Edition badging features on the tailgate and side profile finishers.

PORSCHE 911 CABRIOLET + ELINA SVITOLINA
As a part of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix supporting programme, Elina Svitolina was given a truly special driving lesson. The professional tennis player from the Ukraine was given the chance to test drive the WTA tournament’s main prize – the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet – at the Porsche Development Center in Weissach. The winner of the WTA Finals started off by settling herself down in the passenger seat. With the former Porsche works driver and Endurance World Champion at the steering wheel, she was able to find out at first hand just what the new 911 Cabriolet is capable of on the race track. The elegant powerhouse accelerates in only 3.8 seconds from zero to 100 and reaches a top speed of 304 km/h.
SPOTTED OUT AND ABOUT
WITH MARK WEBBER
At her side was a renowned driving instructor – Mark Webber – who gave her valuable tips on how to handle the 450 bhp sports car. Just how assured and agile the vehicle takes bends at high speeds was demonstrated by Webber over the slalom course on the skid pad, a never-ending bend with a diameter of 200 metres. When Svitolina got behind the steering wheel herself, she confidently put the things she had learnt into practice. In order for her to test the new Porsche Wet Mode, which provides additional support in wet conditions, a part of the course was specially wettened. The world No. 6 was visibly impressed: “It was a unique experience driving a car like this around such a special course, and then with a pro like Mark. The car is a fabulous prize for the tournament winner.” 6 freecarmag.com

NAOMI OSAKA + NISSAN GT-R
Wimbledon is just around the corner and tennis Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka upped her garage game with 600 horsepower in the form of a competition-honed, Super Silver Nissan GT-R NISMO. Based in Boca Raton, Florida, 21-year-old Osaka will be able to drive to tennis practice as quickly as legally allowed – and thanks to the car’s bold, advanced design with proper boot space, for all those balls and racquets she needs. We rather liked her relaxed off duty look and wondered how easy it would be to get her look.

“the best way of learning which has worked for me, is to ask lots of stupid questions”
Iconic mechanic, engineer, inventor, TV and YouTube star Edd China writes a book
A
s co-presenter of Wheeler Dealers, Edd China entertained fans for 13 years, reaching 200 million global viewers at the show’s peak. However, he’s first and foremost a mechanic, designer, engineer and inventor, with a gift for making complicated stuff easy and fixing almost anything.
WHAT IS THE BOOK ABOUT?
It’s a collection of ramblings and diversions an insight into my head perhaps. It is loosely based on my slightly mad projects which seemed the best way to organise the book.
SO IS IT A BUNCH OF STORIES DETAILING HOW YOU GOT HERE?
It is not really an autobiography it is more of a memoir. I’ve heard that books and chapters tend to write themselves and that is certainly what happened here, we started with a title and then the story went in an interesting direction.
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR WRITING THE BOOK?
Virgin suggested it to me and I had not even considered it before. It has been carthartic, but fascinating and fun. I feel I have used up 40 years of material and I have to think about what I could possibly put in the next one.
DID YOU LIKE CARS WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG AND DID YOU MUCK ABOUT WITH THEM?
I was a Lego kid I grew up building and taking things apart, I always wanted to know how things worked. The car thing did happen later. I remember going back and forth to my uncle’s on the motorway and being able to name every single car, but I wasn’t into cars as such. Then later when I got my first car I realised that I didn’t actually know how they worked. That is when the obsession actually happened.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
1303 Beetle in Texas yellow.
GOODNESS ME THAT WAS A COOL CAR, BUT PROBABLY RUSTY…
It was nice and shiny and a CAL look as well. It did though fail its first MOT because of quite extensive rust. So learning all about cars was a
baptism of fire, I had to knuckle down and get on with it.
WHEN DID YOU ENTER THE MOTOR TRADE?
I had a Saturday job at a place called Just Campers who specialised in Volkswagens. Then I had a job where I weighed in scrap cars. You would go and collect something and then end up with it in your own back yard. Once I started doing that it became hard to stop. I saw useful parts on all the cars I collected. It was also a good living when you could at one point get up to £200 a ton, then it went down to a £1 and then people had to pay to have it taken away.
WHEN DID YOU DISCOVER YOU HAD A KNACK FOR TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO WORK ON CARS?
VIt was almost accidental I guess, I became involved in a show called Panic Mechanics that was my first brush with television. They wanted to do a show that was like Scrapheap Challenge but a bit more aesthetic. I did the pilot then was involved for the whole series. I was in the right place at the right time. Then the Wheeler Dealers thing happened and I nearly didn’t go to that interview. By that time I was very involved in my Cummfy Banana Company building my weird vehicles. I was very lucky that it all worked out in the end. Initially I was hired just to do the work. Then I started explaining things and doing a bit here and there and it became a thing. There are obviously better presenters out there and mechanics, but it seemed that I could do the two of them. It is fun to explain stuff, but also to understand it and it seemed to work out all right.
WHAT DO YOU WANT READERS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR BOOK? IS IT TO GO AND MESS ABOUT WITH CARS BECAUSE YOUNGSTERS DON’T SEEM TO BE AS KEEN NOW?
There was the custom car scene in the ‘50s when guys got back from the war and wanted to make really fast, distinctive cars to their own design. They had to go and do it themselves as the parts they needed were not on the shelf. These though you can even buy vans that quick and you can have almost whatever specification you want straight out of the factory, so it has all changed completely.
I can understand why kids now don’t find it so rewarding. There is though all the old stuff, like VWs that you can mess around with. Now there is the whole Electric Vehicle world, it is the electrification of classics. One day if we let it happen, then classics will become the next pariah. So maybe the best thing is to engineer them properly and sympathetically now, so they can be returned to their original powerplant if required so that their value is maintained. It would make a lot of classics much more reliable and very economical. I think it is all about staying curious, understanding how things work and for me that is where the joy comes from.
AFTER THE BOOK WHAT COMES NEXT?
I am intrigued by the whole book writing discipline, which was stressful as we went right up to the wire with the deadline. I’ll definitely do another one and have some cunning plans on what that will be about. We have a couple of TV ideas that we are playing around with. I want to do them properly. I just have so many things on the go and last year it was an electric ice cream van and we have to finish that off. So long as I am entertained I am happy.
WHAT SORT OF CARS SHOULD FREE CAR MAG READERS THINK ABOUT BUYING?
I would go back to Volkswagens but the trouble is they are going way up in value and that is the same for the original mini. I would still go for any classic with a big following because there are stores where you can go and buy parts for them. In America you can almost build a Ford Mustang or Chevy Bel Air from nothing as just about every part is still available. Over here apart from VWs and minis it would be the Mazda MX-5 which is a fantastic driver’s car and there are lots of parts for them. I think saving a classic when there are just two left is a brave and worthy thing to do but you will be in a whole load of trouble if you don’t have the skills. So it is best to ease yourself in gently. Ideally you need to find good clubs as you will always find someone else who has done what you are trying to do and will have lots of advice and information. That is the best way of learning which has worked for me, is to ask lots of stupid questions.

Indeed, the rise of drifting, which originated in Japan and where the driver intentionally oversteers going around a corner while maintaining control, has exploded in recent years and there are now numerous competitive drifting events at circuits across the country. TrackDays.co.uk itself has seen a huge increase in bookings for drifting experiences, where drivers learn basic and advanced drifting skills, up a staggering 59 per cent over the last year, and it has added more drifting experiences to keep up with demand.

LAUDA THE UNTOLD STORY
If ‘Rush’ defined your view of the Austrian racer, then this documentary film will make you think again and appreciate his bravery.
I
n 1976 Niki Lauda survived one of the most famous crashes in Formula One history. Using previously unseen footage, LAUDA: THE UNTOLD STORY explains what happened on that fateful, and near fatal day at the Nürburgring, then follows Lauda’s courageous journey to recovery culminating in a miraculous comeback in Monza just weeks later. The film also investigates the impact that his crash had not just on his own life but on the sport as a whole, looking at the safety developments from the 1900s to the present day. Featuring exclusive access to Mercedes HQ and interviews with Lauda, his family, and motorsports legends past and present including Sir Jackie Stewart, David Coulthard, Marc Webber, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Hans-Joachim Stuck and Jochen Mass and many more. The film is released on 2nd July and the DVD is available to buy and on demand from 6th July from Bulldog Film Distribution. freecarmag.co.uk 23
