Anders Ditlev Clausager was born in Denmark in 1949. He came to London in 1974 to study automotive design at the Royal College of Art, obtaining his master’s degree in 1976. He spent a brief period with Volkswagen, where he designed the second-generation Polo, before returning to England in 1978 to work for British Leyland at Longbridge.
In 1979, he became archivist to BL Heritage, subsequently the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust. In 2000, he moved to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, where he served as chief archivist until 2012. In the same year, he completed a master’s degree in history at the University of Warwick.
He has written or co-authored 20 books on a variety of mostly British cars, including Austin, Austin-Healey, Jaguar, MG, Mini, and Sunbeam-Talbot, as well as Porsche and Volvo. He was one of four authors of the award-winning Britain’s Motor Industry: The First Hundred Years. He has contributed to various magazines and to The Guardian.
Anders is a well-known motoring historian. He was a founder member of the Classic Vehicle Clubs’ Committee, which later became the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs, and for several years served on the dating committee of the Veteran Car Club. Since 2009, he has been Secretary of the Society of Automotive Historians in Britain. He is also a trustee of the Michael Sedgwick Memorial Trust and a member of the Advisory Council of the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.
He has twice received the Bradley Distinguished Service Award from the American Society of Automotive Historians. Anders maintains an active interest in many aspects of motoring history and is usually busy with one or more projects. He lives in Birmingham with his husband David and has only recently and reluctantly given up riding a BMW after 40 years as a motorcyclist.
