Brian and Andrew, this week, are really excited to meet Matthew Davis and Neil Campbell from Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust.

We hear the stories of the Trust from its inception in 1983 to where it is today:

Being part of the "Our Jaguar" program and inspiring Type 00

Taking Jaguars to Blackpool and making a noise

Why people who know nothing about Jaguars are really important

What needs to be in the collection and why it's not just the cars

In the driving seat with their favourite cars, what is a project eight?

Hang on, we've found another XJ8!

Who's got the keys to the Rumble Room?

Anniversaries this year, where's my list?

"Self evidently marvellous"

"The new ones, that is the history we need to capture now: heritage is constant reinvention"

This episode is slightly longer than our normal podcast to capture more of the Trust's great story for our listeners, with a big thank you to Matthew and Neil!

Our special guest this week is Andy Talbot. Andy will be known to many car and motorsport fans for his voice as part of the commentary team of Motorsport Mundial and Auto Mundial, the weekly shows on ITV4.

Tonight though, Andy is here to share his passion for all things Volkswagen and the story of his own Californian VW Trekker AKA 'The Thing'.

Growing up on a diet of 411's and K70's helped to develop this VW passion. California blended into the mix starting with detailed observation of the cars in California Highway Patrol (CHiPs), his own California experience driving a Chevrolet Cavalier Convertible whilst listening to the Eagles' 'Hotel California' and a family connection epitomising 1960's style.

This week, Brian & Andrew delve deep in to the world of the cars used or driven by great (and sometimes not so great!) world leaders.

From the legendary Citroen DS used by general De Gaulle to the Rover P5 built for Harold Wilson with a special holder for his pipe, although he never got the built-in Humidor box for his cigars.

Top gifts to be expected when visiting the Shah of Iran would certainly include a locally built Peykan. "Thank you so much, I have always wanted one of those."

What do you do when you are Leonid Brezhnev and Matra give you a white Matra Rancho? Well, you spray it blue of course. Then, go and see Citroen and get a Citroen SM, but if you go and see Maserati they will give you a Maserati Quattroporte.

We find out where to park for the Queen's Coronation to see the procession and all the state cars.
