Geneva Motor Show live reports
I reported from the 2017 Geneva Motor Show on behalf of Car Design News, contributing six stories over the two press days of the show.
Before the show I arranged meetings with various key designers and these interviews conducted on the show floor formed the basis of my live reports. I also took photographs of the key cars discussed.
