A Celebration of Classic Cars with Charlotte Vowden, Fuzz Townshend, Marc Elvis Priestley, Mike Brewer & Ant Anstead

04/04/22 • 86 min

This week's podcast is a collection of conversations recorded at The Classic Car & Restoration Show at the NEC. These interviews were originally recorded for our radio show; however, we've decided to include them here on the podcast for your listening pleasure too.

First up, we talk to Charlotte Vowden, a writer and journalist who has transitioned into the world of automotive thanks to her wonderful MG MGA classic car left to her by her late grandfather. Charlotte shares a brief overview of her journey and talks about the significance of classic cars to her.

Following Charlotte, Amy and John talk to Car SOS host, Fuzz Townshend. Fuzz offers his view on all cars one-day being classics (yep, even the boring ones!) and shares his passion for the industry.

We then are joined individually by three more good friends of the show. Marc 'Elvis' Priestley, Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead. The three Wheeler Dealers stars offer their own stories and reasoning behind what makes the classic car industry special, with a good few laughs and anecdotes along the way.

LiteLok Inventor Neil Barron

Have you ever wanted to hear about the inner workings of an inventor?? This week we're still at Baffle Haus, but this time, we're talking to a man that has invented something to keep our bikes out of the hands of thieves. Neil Barron is an award-winning inventor who has worked with and for brands such as Guinness, Fender Guitars, Lego Futura, Thermos and Boots.

Neil is now working on an essential piece of hardware to keep our beloved pushbikes and motorbikes safe from anyone that might want to steal them. The product is called LiteLok, and as you might suspect, it's a lock, and it's light! This chat is far more than just a conversation about bike locks; it's a deep dive into what makes an inventor tick and what has inspired Neil to come up with some of the award-winning designs and products he has to his name.

'LIVE' from The Lotus Eletre Launch

We do love a Lotus launch! We were present for the launch of the Lotus Emira in 2021 and were delighted to be welcomed back by Lotus for the launch of their latest car, the Eletre.

The Lotus Eletre is Lotus' first-ever SUV model, and they have gone in with a bang! The Eletra is a Hyper-SUV promising super-fast charging and performance capabilities, including a 0-60mph launch in under 3 seconds.

Just like at the Emira launch, our in-house broadcaster Andy Jaye was there to present the car to the world alongside Julia Hardy from the iconic BBC Television Centre in London. In this episode of the podcast you will be guided around the launch by John Marcar and you will hear from;

Presenters - Andy Jaye & Julia Hardy

Lotus MD - Matt Windle

Lotus Advanced Performance Director - Simon Lane*

Lotus PR Director - James Andrew

Journalists - Alex Goy & Richard Porter (with a cameo appearance from Gareth Jones)

Influencer - Becky Evans & Lotus Elise namesake Elisa Artioli

*CORRECTION - Simon Lane is incorrectly introduced as 'James' in John's intro. (Sorry Simon!)
