Q: What inspired you to start the blog?

A: Motor Verso was started simply from a love and appreciation of cars standpoint. I would spend a lot of my time and energy discussing car topics, so why not do it online?

Q: How do you see Motor Verso developing in the future?

A: Over time we are building a large portfolio of car reviews, we aim to develop this to be as detailed and depth as possible. Each month we have a large audience of people that we assist in helping to decide on there next car purchase and we plan to help many more in the future.

Take to the Road

Who runs it?

It was launched in 2015 by Niall Julian who is a classic car enthusiast. According to him the love for classic cars and the start of ‘Take to the Road’ was propelled by a 1967 Daimler V8 250.

What is it about?

Niall writes about classic cars and interviews industry leaders, as well as writes helpful & regular product reviews. You’ll also find a comprehensive news section that covers both new and classic vehicles.

We’ve also contacted Niall for a quick Q&A, and he was kind enough to answer, here it is:

Q: Which classic car is your favourite at the moment? 

A: Oh that is a tough one… there’s so many favourites out there and I do have a long long list. But right now I’m fascinated by the Serenissima 308 Jet Competitzione. A very rare Italian supercar from the 1960s. The styling is wonderful and it has a great story. It was commissioned by aristocrat and racing driver Count Giovanni Volpi di Misurata, who inspired the Ferrari 250 GTO Breadvan. He fell out with Enzo Ferrari and decided to build his own car. Only one 308 Jet (plus one open top 308) was built making it a super rare and fascinating car.

Q: How do you think Take to the Road will develop in the future?

A: Take to the Road has been on the road (no pun) for 5 years now, so a lot has happened and changed in that time. The site has grown a lot since the early days and the focus shifted slightly. I see Take to the Road creating more feature focused car content and more hands on reviews of classics.
