Paul Walton has been a motoring journalist since 1999, starting his career at Classic Cars magazine. He moved to BBC Top Gear in 2002, becoming one of the brand's editors in 2005 responsible for a bi-monthly buying car, a position he held until 2011. After a spell being freelance, when he wrote for a variety of specialists titles including Classic & Sportscar and the Goodwood Festival of Speed programme, in 2012 he became editor of Jaguar World magazine, covering a brand he has admired since his father owned a classic 420G in the Eighties. He has since edited several other titles including Ultimate Supercar, Aston Martin Driver and Classic Mercedes.
