Chandan Basu Mallik

Bob Lutz, Murray Walker, Horacio Pagani & the first British-Asian Car Journalist

‘Brown Car Guy & Buddies’ – Catching up with Chandan Basu Mallik in Calcutta, India – I knew him in Dubai where he headed up and/or wrote for several major automotive publications during his near two decades in the Middle East, including Autocar, F1 and Wheels. As a fellow British-Asian, he beat me to his first car review by a couple of years.

Some great stories and anecdotes here including experiences with Bob Lutz, Murray Walker and Horacio Pagani. And as a model car collector – with the oldest one in his collection aged at over 100 years, during lockdown, he’s taken to crafting and building his own scale models from scratch.
