Venerable motoring writer W de Forte has been a visitor to the Yorkshire pennine town of Holmfirth since his boyhood in the 1920s and we are delighted he has agreed to contribute to the Summer Wine Classics website by providing material for this blog.

Having driven everything from his grandfather's first Daimler to modern-day supercars, travelled everywhere from Monte Carlo to the Baja peninsula and met everyone from Tazio Nuvolari to Valentino Rossi, de Forte is uniquely placed to comment on all aspects of motoring and motorcycling. We hope you enjoy his writings.
