Ian Seabrook better known as HubNut is a classic car enthusiast, YouTube videographer, editor and former motoring journalist of over a decade.[1] from Wales,United_Kingdom. His YouTube channel in it's current form started life as Classic Hub where his first video was about the Nissan Leaf electric vehicle, the channel came about as a result of Seabrook considering himself as a fan of the 'unusual' and celebrating the 'average' but realized that electric cars was not where he saw the channel going and thus changed the name to the more now recognizable Hub Nut. His love of the unusual can be noted in his beloved 1972 'K' plate ice blue Invacar "Twc" pronounced Tooq (TWC 725K)[2] which is essentially a former invalid carriage on three wheels with Fiat 500 engine and been one of only fifteen saved from the scrapyard after being pulled out from a boggy Sussex field. The Invacar had been banned in 2003, Seabrook's example sitting for a considerable amount of time in the wet Sussex English countryside prior to this.[3]

Seabrook began his journalism career writing for car club magazines before moving on to the popular AROnline website and classic magazine titles before then becoming freelance.[4]
