Ian Robertson - Classic Retro Modern Magazine: Simca, Talbot, Peugeot, Ford Sierra and collecting car brochures. S5E4
We 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.

Sam White: My Dad bought a Porsche 911 the week I was born - and now I've got it! S5E3
We are joined by Sam White, co-Founder of Apiar Watches, and Porsche 911 owner. In fact this episode is pretty 911 centric, as his father bought the yellow 1971 Targa model the week Sam was born, and always promised the car to him when he was old enough. True to his word, the classic coupe is now in his ownership, complete with its uber-rare 6 pipe exhaust system, which is somewhat of an internet sensation!! There is also passing mention of a Vauxhall Astra and some newer generation Volkswagen Sciroccos.Another great chat, and we hope you enjoy this one as much as we did recording it.
