About this listen

This is the podcast for the Australian Historic Road and Racing community covering grass roots events and racing!


There is a thriving community of owners of classic and historic vehicles - including veteran and vintage cars. There is also a strong racing community through various clubs and associations. This podcast will showcase and highlight the amazing people, vehicles and events in Australia.


I'm Stephen Wells, I've been involved in this community for decades (!) through clubs in Australia and the UK. I am an alumni of the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School at Snetterton Circuit in the UK and have organised major events and club runs over the years including being President or Vice President of many.


Motoring Weekly has been delivering content since 2008 either as a podcast or long-form articles. It took a hiatus in 2020 and is now back to support a great community.


Listen to interviews with:

  • Club racers,
  • Car owners,
  • Concours judges,
  • Club members,
  • Event organisers,
  • Restoration specialists and engineers.

    Mar 1 2026

    Day 2 of the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance was more open thanks to better weather - with the outdoor events taking place which meant being able to see the cars in action.


    I recorded four interviews:

    1. Fred Drake, the importer of the gorgeous Brough Superior motorcycles.
    2. Sir Victor Nash with his Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn.
    3. Jeremy Best and his Reliant Scimitar GTE.
    4. Simon Cavelle, the first Artist-in-Residence

    Episode 189 Sydney Harbour Concours Preview


    February has become the traditional month for the Sydney Harbour Concours and I speak with the founder, James Nicholls, to get a sneak peak of the cars on show and the event structure.


    We talk about the themes for each of the three days and the concours groupings from the interwar years through Italian design to James’ own version of the Ashes: Australian muscle cars versus refined grand tourers from the UK.


    Drive day on the 26th

    Main events - 27th to the 1st March.
