James Gent
James Gent has been writing about cars professionally since 2012. An automotive journalist with tenures across Europe, North America and the Middle East, James has written pretty much everything from news reports to feature-length articles, top 10 lists to video scripts, and even the occasional speech. A long-time BMW fan, he one day hopes to have an E92 M3 nestled in his garage alongside a Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II and a Morgan 3 Wheeler.

After a bruising period freelancing in his native UK, James started life afresh in Dubai as Web Editor for crankandpiston.com before being promoted to Publishing Editor for Evo Magazine’s Middle East franchise. Since relocating to Ontario, Canada, James has worked on the news desk with Postmedia and Trader Corporation, has ventured down the classic car route with Petrolicious, and authored several pieces for both CarBuzz.com and HotCars.com.
Education
James holds both a masters’ and bachelor’s degree in English literature from Lancaster University in the UK, and has since propped up his education with post-graduate courses in both Technical Writing and Social Media Management.
