Thank you for a great show at Savile Row. Really excellent organisation, security, events and curation. I know Savile Row very well, and you really brought this street to life like no other time I can remember. The event had a lovely energy, and it was great to see so many beautifully dressed people on the street. It was a really positive vibe and, above all, great fun.
It was another fantastic show. The atmosphere is unlike any other: intimate and perfectly contained, but also easy to break out and find your own space for a drink or lunch. The word is definitely out there within the industry that this is the place to be. I’m very proud to be associated with it, and from the response to my social media posts, it seems the punters like it a lot, too.
Just wanted to let you know how impressed I was when the new M1 Momentum magazine appeared yesterday in our mailbox. What struck me first was the ‘feel’ of the quality I immediately knew I’d find within. The weight of the pages and excellence of the paper were first class. Very impressive… Everything had a good, solid feel that is completely lacking in any modern publication. Just excellent all around.
The book is a masterpiece, and I share it often with friends and when I lecture on collector cars.
