Paul Lucas- Kit Cars With Paul: My Dads MGB V8 Triumph Stag Mk2 Jag E Type V12 XJS XJ6 and MPG S8E8

We're joined by Paul Lucas, a serial kit car builder and man behind the YouTube channel Kit Cars With Paul 79.

Our conversation starts with us diving into the channel, what made him start doing kit cars, and whether its a day job.

From there we're back on track with Paul's earliest car memory - an MGB GT with a V8, possibly a factory built car, maybe a diy upgrade.

Later this car would be replaced with Triumph Stags, which would facilitate a whole social circle and camping trips to the continent.

Paul's Dad loved a Jaguar too, and often would have a pair at anyone time. Although despite liking a big engine such as the V12 XJS he would insist on driving slowly to keep the MPG as high as possible!!

Sadly Paul's father is no longer about, but we do chat about him building the Ferrari kit car at his Dad's house, how he would help him with jobs (although not to his high standards) and how he did get to see the first Porsche builds before he 'popped off'.

To find out more about these cars check out Paul's website.
