Paul Cowland

Paul Cowland is a man with a lifelong passion for all things automotive. His small talk includes anything to do with the internal combustion process and the Wankel rotary engine which means he is rarely invited to parties.

Thankfully, his boundless enthusiasm for the industry has given him a career spanning over three decades, writing, selling, tuning, restoring, photographing, and creating almost every kind of car known to man – as well as being the go-to guy for many of the UK’s leading automotive publishers when they need an authority on such matters.

Paul Cowland is widely in demand for presenting, speaking, and hosting a wide range of international automotive events.

More About Paul Cowland

Having presented several prime-time ‘magazine’ shows for Eurosport and Motors TV, Paul signed to the Discovery Channel in 2014, where his unique blend of humour, sarcasm, and realistic day-rate proved to be a hit with producers. His first show – alongside mechanical marvels Dave Southall and Adam Hornby – Turbo Pickers (2014) proved to be a global hit, showcasing the more affordable end of the classic car world, picking and fixing all manner of cars ranging from the entry-level Porsche 924, through to automotive icons like the Citroen H Van.

Paul’s show Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars (2018-) on the Quest Channel and Amazon Prime, sees Paul partner up with long-term friend Drew Pritchard to buy, restore, and sell two cars each episode. They work alongside all manner of talented, small, and independent specialists along the way, and it has been a global hit, already banking six series.
