Autocade started in 2008 as an independent car encyclopædia, and branched out into its first print edition, a Yearbook, in December 2023.

Created by Jack Yan as a passion project for fellow car enthusiasts, with a commitment to accuracy, Autocade focuses more on 1970 on. Over the years, it has had many contributors behind the scenes: Peter Jobes, Keith Adams, Nigel Dunn, and the assistance of Carfolio, an in-depth car specifications’ database website.

The Yearbook, meanwhile, takes the passion of the encyclopædia and puts it into a print format with interesting reads. The award-winning motoring author Giles Chapman noted, ‘Autocade is in the grand tradition of beautifully produced annuals like World Cars, Car Design Yearbook, Autocourse and Auto Universum, yet offers a deep read for the road car devotee like nothing else I’ve seen.’ William Woollard, historian, producer, and long-time Top Gear presenter, said, ‘A genuine collector’s item. You won’t want to put it down.’

Moving forward, we hope to continue enlarging the website—which, at the time of writing, nets a million page views every 40 or so days—and create more print and video content.


Our approach

Autocade, in its online form, provides quick summaries of each model, written from the point of view of its first home market, rather than being biased toward a single country. It is not meant to replace buyers’ guides such as Edmunds in the USA or The Red Book in Australia, or information sites such as Carfolio.
