Steve Saxty

Author Steve Saxty published his first major book in 2019; “The Cars Your Always Promised Yourself”. Next was ‘Secret Fords”, a two-volume set exploring how European Fords were designed. Both books were nominated Book Of The Month in several major car magazines and finalists for the prestigious RAC Book Of The Year award. His BMW titles have achieved even higher accliam.

What makes Saxty unusual?

The author is neither a journalist nor a normal car enthusiast. Instead, he is an industry executive who held senior posts in Ford, Mazda, Porsche, and Jaguar. Beyond working for car companies, he worked in consulting and advertising agencies – giving him a breathtakingly large contact list. That insider’s credibility grants him the opportunity to talk as a peer to designers, executives, and engineers across the car industry. His books are written with all the knowledge, love, and care of a writer passionate about sharing the innermost – and most exciting – stories of how cars are created.
