Listen now
Description
In our first episode, Jodie and James Elliott of Octane magazine, talk to restorer, Simon Thornley about his work. You'll hear how a lifelong passion kindled by a chance encounter with a Jaguar E-Type led to Simon being entrusted with the restoration of a million-pound Alfa Romeo, with one infamous former owner.  And in our 'One piece at a Time' segment, we invite every guest to bring along one prized possession that connects them to classic cars. It could be a bit of a car, a photograph, a special memory even! By the end of the series, we'll have quite a collection. Find out what Simon's brought along...
