Paul Hudson has spent more than 30 years at the heart of British motoring journalism, driving, reviewing and writing about some of the world’s greatest cars.In this episode, Paul joins us to reflect on a career in motoring, how automotive journalism has changed, the impact of YouTube and social media, and why the traditional road test still has a place.We also talk about the cars that have stayed with him, how the classic car market is evolving, what today’s collectors are looking for, and which modern cars could become the classics of tomorrow.

Investor and entrepreneur Rob Moore joins us to explore a question familiar to collectors and enthusiasts alike: can cars really make you money?
Drawing on his own extensive collection, Rob shares the strategy behind the cars he chooses to buy, what he looks for when considering their future value, and the thinking that shapes his decisions.
From notable successes to the investments that haven’t quite gone to plan, it’s a candid conversation about the wins, the losses and the realities of building a significant car collection.
