On this week’s podcast, Dave and Cormac answer some of our listeners’ questions across a variety of topics. Is there a gap in the market for a workshop facility for people to work on their own cars? What are the disaster stories that have helped shape your love of cars? Was the Tata Nano a game-changer or something that should be consigned to history and never spoken of again?

On this week's podcast, Cormac lifts the lid on the Vixen 21, a BMW-powered motorhome from the late 1980s penned by DeLorean co-creator Bill Collins. The innovative design seemed quite futuristic at the time, but, like many such things, it was ultimately a sales failure. And ahead of the new F1 season kicking off, Dave does his best to explain what’s new, who’s driving what and how different things will be for 2026.  Need a coffee fix? Head over to 3FE Coffee and get everything you could possibly need delivered straight to your door. Visit 3fe.com Follow 50to70 on Instagram Follow Dave Humphreys on Instagram Follow Cormac Singleton on Instagram Follow 3FE Coffee on Instagram Get your 3FE Coffee Here

This week’s 50to70 podcast focuses on the obscure - no surprises there. Dave has been behind the wheel of a rather unusual Volvo for a start, the C30 Electric, which was part of a trial fleet of around 250 cars used by employees and select customers. Featuring an innovative heating system, the C30 Electric remains a very interesting car 15 years later. Sticking with the unusual, Cormac lifts the lid on the Citroen BX 4TC, a short-lived and largely unsuccessful entry into the Group B World Rally Championship during the 1980s. Although 200 were produced to satisfy homologation requirements, only 86 or so were ever sold to private buyers, with the rest reportedly being repurchased and destroyed.

The Volkswagen Golf Rallye is a homologation which was based on the Mk2 generation. While the GTI is the better-known performance Golf, the Rallye was a four-wheel-drive special that, in many ways, was the forerunner of the modern-day Golf R. Cormac takes us on a deep dive of a very special one-owner example he's been driving.  We also get slightly excited about the Bicester Scramble that takes place this week. Maybe we'll see you there?  Need a coffee fix? Head over to 3FE Coffee and get everything you could possibly need delivered straight to your door. Visit 3fe.com Follow 50to70 on Instagram Follow Dave Humphreys on Instagram Follow Cormac Singleton on Instagram Follow 3FE Coffee on Instagram Get your 3FE Coffee Here

We start off a new year with a big thank you to you, the listener. Cormac has been running a Skoda Elroq RS.
