We’re joined by Jez Hayter the founder of Mythron Cars who produce a bespoke, reinvented modified Austin Healey Sebring Sprite for the modern day.

Discussion starts with the charm of playing Action Men and moves into a 50’s Wolsley which belonged to his Grandfather - complete with fold out rear picnic tables.

Later we speak about their family Renault 18 estate, which took the family to Norway for two years, Jez would sit in the middle, something he was particularly proud of.

In Norway they had a neighbour with a classic 3 door Range Rover in powder blue, with a tan interior, with no seat belts to restrict them, they could fit 6 kids in the back!

We wrap things up with some talk about technology and safety improvements.

We hope you enjoy this episode.

It was a real pleasure to sit down with the legend that is Mike Brewer at the NEC Classic Car Show. We recorded this live, in front of lots of people, so please excuse the blip in sound quality - we've done the best with what we had.

Things start off with a real 'one off' hat flying out the car and back in again earliest car memory, before we hear about the custom cars his Dad built, including the Ford Pop called 'Pinball Wizard' which has been replicated a number of times in tribute.

In later life Mike recounts the tale of sourcing a sensible car for his Dad to drive his Mum around in. He delivers a Ford S-Max, but his Dad isn't impressed.

However, it only takes a few miles and he's smitten, a few months later he's modified it... lowered on split rim wheels, carbon bonnet and mirrors! He just can't stop it!!

We hope you enjoy this episode, and please do take a moment to look up Mikes TV program Born Dealer which we reference a number of times whilst chatting.

We’re joined by automotive artist Ian Cook this week. Better known as Pop Bang Colour, he produces artwork using model cars instead of brushes, and has created paintings at motoring events for almost 20 years. He even painted a giant Lewis Hamilton for Reebok, earning a Guinness World Record in the process.

In a similar fashion to last episode’s guest, Ian remembers identifying parts of cars from the back seat of his parents Metro, he could even work out a vehicle by its tail lights at night.

They travelled to France in the Metro, but him and his brother had to be in separate cars to stop them fighting!

His Uncle was a Car Designer for Rover, which meant the entire family had one… for cheap! His Uncle had the MG Metro Turbo.

Another Uncle had a Chevette, which Ian now owns. Each Christmas they would go to the model shop to pick a new slot car.

We hope you enjoy this one, please check out Ian’s work here.

We’re joined by car designer and writer Andy Plumb for the first episode of the long awaited season 7.

Andy (host) wanted to be a car designer growing up so hearing from Andy Plumb as to how he made his dream a reality, was fascinating.

It turns out, writing a letter to Ford asking how he should make it happen; and Ford replying with a step by step guide was just what he needed!

We talk about Ford Sierras, Citroen 2cVs, Reliant Robin’s and the Morgan Super 3 and spotting cars on the motorway by just their headlights - a game our Andy used to play on long journeys too.

We hope you enjoy this one, and stay tuned for more great stories in Season 7.
