Sell The Hunter

 

A little cheat sheet that was given to the dealers. Special thanks once again to my mate Ian Morton for providing the scans. Not sure how much confidence this generated for them thu! :)

Obama, Rouhani & The Story of Paykan

I am pleased to announce that my article was published in the latest issue of Gozaar magazine. In this issue beside covering the latest political news they have dedicated a section to the current status of Iran's auto industry, and they wanted to have an article about Paykan. So I have covered the entire story going back to 1914 when the Rootes brothers created their company to them purchasing Humber, Hillman, Sunbeam & Singer and their role in the WWII then moving to the Hillman Imp's story and the creation of the Arrow series, and more... So get to your local magazine stands and get yourself a copy! It is a fascinating read I can guarantee it personally! :)

I want give my special thanks to Ali Nili the editor of the magazine for his hard work and dedication!
