To design something like this is unbelievable - you've got to love it. It's our history, it's our past. I'm glad someone had the sense to preserve this.

It is a very modern car, a 21st century design that respectfully nods to the past but focuses indisputably on the future.

When you're working at the forefront of creative design, you have to borrow from history. The trick is to draw from a past era and reinterpret it.

The tapestry of history has no point at which you can cut it and leave the design intelligible.

Good design should reflect a sense of human history - some aspect of where we've come from.

Certainly in days past no one ever sat down to design a plaid for the MacLumphas and wove into the texture blue for the varicose veins, red for the bloodshot eyes and purple for the claret nose of the clan chief.
