For the first podcast of 2026 we speak to John Mayhead of Hagerty. John is a motoring writer and all round classic car value expert, he edits the Hagerty price guide which tracks the market value of thousands of classic cars. We hear his thoughts on current market trends, his views for the future of the industry, his recent car adventures and much more.

We also discuss his latest book 'Goldie' which follows the fascinating story of Alfred Goldie Gardner, the most prolific speed-record driver ever.

As always this episode is presented by Paddy Coppinger in conjunction with TORQUEfreely.
