1 week ago
Alex Robbins is a motoring writer who tests the latest new cars for a living. Richard Kitchen is an automotive engineer who spends most of his time bringing crumbling classics back to life. Together, they spend a lot of time drinking tea and talking rubbish about cars. So they thought they may as well do it with a microphone in front of them. On Overbore, Alex tries to convince Rich of the merits of the modern automobile - while Rich tries to help Alex learn more about running his classic. And along the way, they hope to help lovers of cars of all ages and types to broaden their horizons.

OB5. Cars that lived up to the hype, cars that didn't, and what happened to MPVs - in a Ford S-Max

On Overbore this week, Kitch tells Scrof about the super-rare car he's been working on this week (it's not what you're expecting it to be - or maybe it is...), and explains why the Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6L is the perfect car for a trip to Newcastle.

Scrof tells Kitch why he preferred the Lotus Carlton to the Ford Escort Cosworth, and tells the story of his short, mildly terrifying drive in a Jaguar XJ220.

Also on the show this week: MPVs were everywhere once, but now they're almost extinct. We work out what happened and where they all went, and explain why we should mourn their passing.

Plus: we get nostalgic about what was once the most important date on the car industry's calendar: the Eastleigh Motor Show.
