    Jun 12, 202642 min

    We’ve been on holiday (not together by the way) and we’re back tanned and ready to talk cars. In this episode we look at poptastic classics. Which cars featured in pop videos and stole the show?

  11. Why Don't Kids Like Classics? - Bonus

    Jun 5, 20268 min

    It seems young people aren't really into classic cars. But is that because they don't like them - or they just don't see them enough? People under 30 don't read magazines or watch TV, so how can the scene cut through? For this bonus episode, Matt's been to Birmingham to talk to young drivers at a special Classic Car Weekly meet-up. See photos of the drivers and their cars on our socials and read the full write-up in Classic Car Weekly in their 8th July issue. Thanks to Jesse Billington @ CCW.

    May 14, 202613 min

In this bonus episode, we meet members of a London car club not afraid to bend the rules (and spend the money) to create the Stags they really want.

    Mar 27, 202646 min
