Eli Solomon has spent a lifetime, punctuated by a spell as an equity salesman in an investment bank, in the company of good and bad cars. His interests are varied, and his latest venture is into the world of rare Southeast Asian books. He now spends equal time between Hong Kong and Singapore. His racing interests include wringing the neck out of his single-seater Brabham BT18 at historic motor sports events when he can afford to, and rebuilding old race cars, including one that was entered in the Singapore Grand Prix of 1971 and 1972. He has also written a bibliography on Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles for the National Library of Singapore, and a chronology of the life of Colonel William Farquhar, first Resident of Singapore, for Singapore Resource Library.

Eli is presently Editor and Vice President of the Malaysia and Singapore Vintage Car Register.
