MALCOLM MCKEON – Malcolm Mckeon Yacht Design

Tell us what car you drive.

My everyday car is a 6.3litre AMG Mercedes CL Class, great for trips up and down to London and my weekend car is a Bristol engined AC Ace, photo attached from a track day at Goodwood.

What was your dream car growing up, and have you ever had the chance to drive it?

My dream car has always been a Series 1 E Type coupe after my Dad raced me through the streets of Hong Kong at a young age. I will always remember the long bonnet, raising and lowering as my dad went through the gears; a really exhilarating experience. I am currently restoring the same model of car and it will be painted in the same original gunmetal grey.

Do you think automotive design influences yacht design, and how does it influence your own work?

Car design has always been a great influence on my yacht design work, I only have car magazines and car design journals at home, where I have a chance to relax and read them. Yachting magazines are all left in the design studio!
