Ian Callum has been responsible for some of the most
beautiful cars on the roads over the last few decades, with most of
his career actually spent with Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F], though most will
likely recognize his more recent efforts at Aston Martin and Jaguar. Some of
his most impressive works include the original Aston Martin Vanquish, the
Jaguar F-Type and the rare Ford RS200 homologation special.
Callum is also a huge car nut, even going so far
as to commission a bespoke
Jaguar Mark 2, but he’s also very much an approachable, likable ‘car guy,’
something that can’t be said for many of the stuffy types you often find in
design circles, especially those with talents on the same level as Callum’s.
Watch as the 61-year-old tells the story of his life-long
passion for car design and how he turned that passion into a career. And there
might just be something in the water in the small Scottish town of Dumfries
where Callum grew up as his little brother Moray Callum is also a noted
automotive designer and is currently in charge of the design team at
Ford.
