Two rather unusual tales in this edition of Voices for the Road, as Keith Smith-Dutton talks about his visit to Nigeria resulted in a rather odd fanbelt replacement in 1982. Meanwhile, in 19667 Gerry Johns had a surprising encounter while picking up embargoed information from Downing Street.

Alan Wakely takes the wheel for 1956 as he talks us through the rise of smaller, cheaper cars. Inclduing a fascinating piece around Bubble cars.

Valerie Singleton presents Voices from the Road, an exciting project in which we will seek to create and build a fascinating audio archive capturing the widest possible range of motoring memories – starting way back in 1932. These stories could be individual accounts of road journeys… exciting adventures… and achievements from specific years…  as well as more noteworthy developments in road safety, vehicle technology and motoring law. The key thing is the people telling the stories... it’s all about real life on the road.
