John Mahoney
Our man on the job in London town with a stiff upper lip and a nose for auto news, John Mahoney has spent the best years of his life as carsales’ UK and European agentWhat’s John’s story?
A veteran of automotive magazines and websites, John Mahoney worked both in Australia and the US before returning to his native London. He lives and breathes hot hatches and is also obsessed with old air-cooled Porsches and amassing a huge collection of worthless old pushbikes, despite living in a one-bedroom apartment. As our UK correspondent, John has an eagle eye for news and a green pass to attend any automotive launch anywhere at the drop of a hat.
