We're joined by Gracie Haddon, from the StarterMotor Charity, an organization that helps young people to create careers in the classic automotive 'ecosystem'.

We chat about Gracie's upbringing - her Dad's work as a writer of Classic Vehicle books, and how they would travel around Europe, with a photographer, to meet and document owners of rare and cherished vehicles.

Family holidays were taken in a Jeep Cherokee, and spent in an Airstream Caravan kept just outside of Horsham.

She was meant to visit JayKay from Jamiroquai's house for the book, but sadly he had to cancel. She has since met him though.

We speak about her shared Austin Healey Sprite that she owns with her Dad, but she really wants a Triumph Herald, because of a lady they met on their travels who owned one.

Gracie encourages us to visit both Bicester Motion, and the coveted Hagerty Festival of the Unexceptional, which we have only heard great things about.

We really hope you enjoy this one, and please look up StarterMotor both to support their vision, but also as an information source for the young people in your life.

We recorded this live at the NEC Classic Motor Show, in the back of a Land Rover Campervan! Our guest is the founder and CEO of Iconic Auctioneers - the massive auction at the show, Nick Whale.

Nick's Dad was a Car Dealer, so its safe to say cars are in his blood. His Dad imported a Camaro when he was young, and then as a the CEO of a successful chain of car dealerships, would buy a brand new Rolls Royce each year, and did this for many years on the bounce.

Sadly, his fellow classmates at boarding school took his Dad's flash car as a reason to pick on him.

Nick recalls being a VIP guest at the Vauxhall Firenza launch - he got to meet Gerry Marshall, and later became good friends with him and now owns an ex-Gerry Marshall Firenza road car.

We chat about auctions of course, motorsport and Nick's love of racing, and also the enthusiasm some of his kids are showing for cars too.

A great episode, which we thoroughly enjoyed recording - we hope you enjoy it too.
