The Queen of all Maestros, Montegos and Metros and Queen of Cowley herself, Tanya Field, joins the Three On The Column Classic Car Podcast in this episode to discuss a lifelong love affair with the cars of Cowley.

We discuss how the affection for these cars has changed over the decades, from watching the salesman's despair at being given a lowly Clubman Diesel Maestro in the TV series 'The A to B of Modern Motoring' to celebrating Montgomery the Montego on Radio Oxford.

But this episode is more than Maestros and Montegos. Tanya also supports the Mini Y Register, the O2 Register, the MG Front Wheel Drive Register, the Cabrio 4 Register and, of course, the Maestro and Montego Owners Club.

Listen now and celebrate these cars with us.

In Part 2 we hear more from Andrew, the club chair, and learn of the many club chapters so that whatever Minor appeals to you, within the MMOC umbrella, there's a like minded group of speciality Minor owners.

What are people's favourite Minor Mods? 'A' series engines from the later 1275 cc Marinas fit in Minors quite nicely, reflecting the period modifications that were not uncommon in the day and these are still relevant now. Or for something really special, how about a supercharger for your Minor that started its life in a BMW era Mini. That has to be fantastic to drive.

There are few classics which can boast of being over 9 metres long and 2.5 metres wide, and one of only twenty-eight ever produced.

This week, 3 On The Column Classic Car Podcast is excited to meet Justin, the proud owner of not just one, but two of these amazing classics.

Launched in 1977 at the Dusseldorf show, the Hymer 900 Liner was the masterpiece of Erwyn Hymer, owner and founder of the motorhome company that takes his name.

Erwyn was determined to prove that his company could build the world's finest motorhome. He also believed that by doing so, an entirely new market could be created for a very select clientele. They would want to have the finest European motorhome that money could buy, with excellent German build quality and the space and comfort of an American RV.

Justin takes us through the history of these amazing vehicles, shares the story of his road to ownership, and reflects on the responsibility of being a good custodian of such rare vehicles.

Listen now to hear the full story.

It's 33 degrees on the other side of my air conditioned screen and I'm nice and cool, yet Andrew and I are dreaming of the open road and maybe a summer convertible to enjoy the best of this sunny weather. Time to call in our expert friend, Mike Renault from episode 15, who re-joins us today and gets us focused on the best of the 1960's convertible road scene and, in the case of Nash, a little air con too.

Listen in and see where the road takes us!
