Text IAN KUAH, Photography ANDY WEE

Dr Ian Kuah is a respected motoring journalist and commentator based in the UK. Originally trained as an architect, he realised that his lifelong passion for cars, and his serious hobbies of writing and photography dovetailed neatly into an alternative and more exciting career.

Since 1983, this career has taken him around the world testing and photographing exotic cars. He has raced at national level in the UK, and was one of the small team of international journalists selected as control drivers for the BMW M3 CSL project.
