James Taylor has been writing professionally about cars since the late 1970s, and his interests embrace a wide range of older cars of all makes and nationalities, as well as classic buses, lorries and military vehicles. He counts the BMW E34 range among his favourites of the 1980s and 1990s, and remembers the excitement that they created when they were new as well as the concern that they aroused within rival car manufacturers who realised how hard they would have to work to keep up.
