In these images photographer Ian Derry captures a real life Gentleman Racer, David Gandy. His work as a leading male model has lived the jet setter lifestyle, from being the face of the largest department store in the Philippines to starring in music videos and shooting short films with brands like Jaguar. But he is more than just a model, writer, and menswear icon…he is an actual racing driver.

Gandy got his racing license in 2012 and has raced in events like the Mille Miglia race in Italy driving a 1950 XK120. He has also raced in other amature events and can often be found behind the wheel of a Mercedes or Jaguar.
