Specialising in road testing the latest cars, Ted is also quite the newshound, always investigating the latest industry topics and digging out new stories at any opportunity. u00A0nTed has been a car enthusiast since the start, almost inevitable growing up with a rallying-obsessed family and being ferried around in the back seat of various Subaru Imprezas u2013 the perfect family car, obviously. As a child, Ted hadxf an enviable collection of toy cars, and it was always obvious that he would channel a career linked to cars in one way or another. u00A0nAfter completing his A-levels, Ted started an NCTJ-accredited apprenticeship in journalism with automotive news agency Blackball Media. Thrown into the deep end from the start, he would soon be on the phone to press offices, submitting freedom of information requests and covering new car launches at the age of 20.u00A0u00A0u00A0nTed worked his way up to staff writer at Blackball Media, in a varied role that would cover news, features and a growing focus on new car reviews, writing the latest first drives on everything from the new Dacia Sandero to Lamborghinis, and honing his skills to review and report on the latest cars. He joined CAR and Parkers in February 2024.u00A0u00A0nOutside of working hours, Ted is usually browsing car auctions and classifies in search of a bargain (often unsuccessfully), and currently owns a Mk1 Audi TT Quattro Sport and Renault Clio 182 Trophy. Heu2019s also an avid and perfectionist car valeter and detailer u2013 yes, one of those bores that lectures you about the two-bucket method. Away from cars he loves travelling the world and is also a keen golfer and mountain biker.u00A0nOn social media, you can follow Ted on his personal Instagram account or one dedicated to cars, while heu2019s also on X, formerly Twitter, usually moaning about how much his cars have cost him.

The fact one of the photos has it parked next to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/electric\/frontline\/\">MGB GT<\/a> gives a hint at the models it appreciates most from its past.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The concept has been designed by MG\u2019s Design Centre in London, which has also come up with the final production car. A large grille surround and circular headlights immediately make it seem quite \u2018Mini\u2019, but there\u2019s more to it than that with its neat proportions and various sporty elements, including a big roof spoiler and large side sills that make it look instantly like a hot hatch.
