Van reviewer

Phil Huff has been writing about cars and vans for newspapers, magazines and websites since 2012 but spent a decade before that covering the somewhat speedier world of F1. Today, he’s fully immersed in the LCV world, spending more time talking about gross vehicle weights than 0-62mph times.

His work appears in consumer titles such as Which? and Diesel&Eco Car, lifestyle magazines like Velvet and DAD, and newspapers from nationals like The Scotsman to award-winning regional titles like Cambridge Independent. His company also publishes lifestyle titles Average Joes and CALIBRE, and LCV-focussed Professional Pickup and Professional Van.

Despite a fondness for Americana and not being an architect, he drives an old Saab convertible.

Phil is an expert in:

– Pick-up trucks
– Vans
– Motor racing
