Peter shares memories of growing up with his father’s pre-war Aston Martin and BMW 328, learning to rebuild an Austin Seven from the ground up, and driving in a Ferrari 250 GT SWB that his dad could have bought for just a few thousand pounds.
Along the way, we discuss classic Citroëns, childhood motoring adventures, Peter’s own Ferrari ownership, the rising costs of historic racing, and how classic cars have transformed from affordable hobbies into multimillion-pound investments.
Plus, a look at the importance of traditional mechanical skills, apprenticeships, the friendships forged through motoring, and why the best car stories are often about the people behind the wheel.
We're pleased to say the guys from Viking Covers are staying on as Sponsor for My Dad's Car.
