Jon and Andy are joined by Danny Hopkins, the editor of Practical Classics Magazine! Wow! Someone famous! Danny and Andy have chatted before, and as a trained actor you can enjoy some wonderful story telling, including him working on cars with his Father, and his Grandfathers (twice Nobel prize nominated) Triumph 2000 which he later restored and repainted, except the patch of headliner above the drivers seat which is still stained and smells of his pipe smoke!
We jump into Austin Land Crabs, and Danny explains why they were so good, and Alec Issigonis' favourite car (over the Mini, no less!) We also touch on Austin 3 Litre, and later on a personal note a Triumph Spitfire Danny found in a barn, a Honda Insight and a twin turbo Mitsubishi GTO that's already earnt Danny a speeding ticket!
Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did making it.
