I am very pleased to have been chosen as an Ambassador for Suixtil – since 2007, Suixtil (pronounced “Swix-til”) has been recreating iconic clothing and accessories from motor racing history and tailoring it for the modern day.
Founded in Argentina in the 1930s, Suixtil racing uniforms were the first of their kind. The national racing team, Escuderia Suixtil, led by the fabled Juan Manuel Fangio, was the first to wear the brand in the 1940s. Suixtil would become the epitome of track day cool through the ‘50s and ‘60s, as more and more champions — Moss, Collins, Trips et al — donned the insignia with style. Tragically, it disappeared as the 1960s came to a close. But it’s back for the 21st century to build on its legacy, with classic, historic designs made with modern quality, comfort and fit.

And talking of being an Ambassador, as an International Ambassador for the Bernina Gran Turismo https://www.bernina-granturismo.com/index.php/en/ I should be wearing my new Suixtil gear in Switzerland now for the latest edition of this famous hill-climb first run in 1929. Unfortunately with things as they are, this is not possible. However, the event continues, as does the fantastic Salon Privé, https://www.salonpriveconcours.com , run by my good friends Andrew and David Bagley, on September 23rd -26th.
Have fun everyone and enjoy your motoring!
