After a career as a scribe for two Dutch motoring magazines, Jeroen Booij (1975) decided to become a freelance motoring journalist in 2002, specializing in classic, specialist or simply unusual cars. It often lead to full features on vehicles that are hardly taken seriously by the regular press.

With a passion for specialist sports cars the next step was to write a book about them. It was published in 2009 by Veloce Publishing. Jeroen spent nearly five years research on it.

He is married and lives in Amsterdam with two daughters.
