  • Ian Robertson - Classic Retro Modern Magazine: Simca, Talbot, Peugeot, Ford Sierra and collecting car brochures. S5E4
    Send us a textWe are joined this week by Ian Robertson, an enthusiast of Peugeot 405s, and publisher of Classic Retro Modern car magazine, an independent title that celebrates many of the same cars we discuss in each of our shows.Join us for a journey through Simca's, Talbots, Peugeot 405's, a history lesson on the loveable (but not strictly) Peugeot 309, and Ford Sierra. His Dad would do up to 50,000 miles a year, so was changing cars every 3 months at times, in order to keep the resale value in them. We explore Ford's ability to divide popular opinion with the Sierra, but also with the Focus and the KA later on. Ian is a collector of dealer brochures and model launch literature, so naturally we chat about that. All in all, another great episode, even if we do say so ourselves!Support the showWe’d love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you’d like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee’ which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom.

About My Dad's Car

Join Andy and Jon for a discussion with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia. We start each episode by asking “what’s your earliest car memory?”From there it’s a journey back through time towards the modern day, but generally focussing on vehicles we remember from childhood.We ask about music, smells, smoking, breakdowns, selling, buying, accidents and more. Despite the podcast title, we don’t discriminate against cars belonging to other people, such as Mum’s, Gran’s, Uncle’s, Aunts, friends, or even a neighbours. If it made an impression, we want to talk about it.Season 1 - February - May 2023Season 2 - July - November 2023Season 3 - November 2023 - March 2024Season 4 - April 2024 - September 2024Season 5 - October 2024 - Hosted by Andy Gregory and Jon Recknell. Want to be a guest?
