In the early 1960s, Lincoln Small fell in love with the perfomance-tuned FIATs built by Abarth. Soon he was obsessed with them, leading to a business venture with a pair of backyard-engineer brothers, John and Geoff Anstead, in which the three became the Abarth agents in the United Kingdom.

Under the Radbourne Motors banner, they imported, prepared, sold and raced the whole range of Abarth cars.

Now Lincoln Small has written an engaging and endearing account of his life among these cars entitled "Abarth, Radbourne Racing and Me: A memoir of iconic cars and racing adventures".

In this episode, Lincoln shares just some of the many experiences and classic machines that shaped his professional life.

Few people speak more passionately about cars than John Nikas. He's a longtime vintage racing driver, an author of dozens of books, and a sought-after public speaker on automotive subjects.

His first love was for British sports cars in all their crudeness and stubborn tradition, but that was only the gateway to a lifetime spent behind the wheel and the writing desk.

In this conversation, John shares his thoughts about things like old MGs, the folly of the original Porsche 911, the heyday of Lotus in competition, some giants of racing, and the state of the car culture.
