Hey, who knew Mr. Ed, the talking horse, was sponsored by Studebaker?

Let's welcome back Mike Renault and reflect on Studebaker’s innovations, including early hill-holder technology and the longevity of the Avanti.

We move onto the quirky appeal of the Nash Metropolitan, and other British-built cars sold in America.

Lastly, we indulge in some nostalgia for the cars on 70's kids' TV cartoons: Mystery Machine, Creepy Coupe, Great Grape Ape and Batman’s Batmobile. We never quite understood why Hong Kong Phooey got changed in a filing cabinet, but what was his car?

In September 2025, I called Andrew one evening and said, "Fancy doing a podcast with me?" Surprisingly, he immediately agreed and, a year on, we've reached our 52nd episode!

We'd like to say a very special thank you to all our podcast guests from the last 51 episodes and to our very many listeners too, who are not just in the UK but spread across the world.

And now, to celebrate this milestone, we are inviting you to feature as our guest on a future podcast recording.

Share your wonderful car and its history with us... Or perhaps you'd like to tell us about your amazing car club - and why you think others should be joining you there. Maybe you, or someone you know, has an interesting personal car story that other listeners would love to hear?

Our objective is always to bring you what matters to you in the classic car world, so help make this your podcast by getting in touch and perhaps, next week, you'll find yourself being our guest!

And now, listen to this week's podcast looking back over our first year...

Remember to like and subscribe and why not let us know what your favourite episode was?

Imagine a long, straight road, devoid of traffic, with free fuel that never runs out? An impossible scenario? Well, actually, it is a reality, right here and now. The Cambridge University Eco Racing team have made it happen. Our thanks to Emelia and Joe (also known as Mr Guest) for joining us today to share their incredible story of Helia, the 2019 World Solar Challenge race car built by the University's racing team to participate in a 3000 kms endurance race across Australia.

Listen now to find out all about this unique car: what it is like to drive, if Andrew can fit in it, and how this showcase of engineering attracts much needed young minds to the industry.
