A Celebration of Classic Cars with Charlotte Vowden, Fuzz Townshend, Marc Elvis Priestley, Mike Brewer & Ant Anstead

Author: Paramex Digital April 4, 2022 Duration: 1:26:41

This week's podcast is a collection of conversations recorded at The Classic Car & Restoration Show at the NEC. These interviews were originally recorded for our radio show; however, we've decided to include them here on the podcast for your listening pleasure too.


First up, we talk to Charlotte Vowden, a writer and journalist who has transitioned into the world of automotive thanks to her wonderful MG MGA classic car left to her by her late grandfather. Charlotte shares a brief overview of her journey and talks about the significance of classic cars to her.


Following Charlotte, Amy and John talk to Car SOS host, Fuzz Townshend. Fuzz offers his view on all cars one-day being classics (yep, even the boring ones!) and shares his passion for the industry.


We then are joined individually by three more good friends of the show. Marc 'Elvis' Priestley, Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead. The three Wheeler Dealers stars offer their own stories and reasoning behind what makes the classic car industry special, with a good few laughs and anecdotes along the way.

For a while, the drivenchat podcast served as the weekly audio companion to the Driven platform, wrapping up the automotive world into candid conversations. Each episode paired the insights of a special guest from across the industry with the distinct perspectives of its three hosts. Listeners heard automotive writer, producer, and presenter John Marcar alongside automotive and lifestyle photographer Amy Heynes, with analysis from a racing driver and vehicle dynamics expert. This combination meant discussions naturally flowed from technical deep-dives into engineering and performance to the broader culture and style surrounding cars, all grounded in genuine expertise. The podcast has since concluded its run, with new episodes continuing under the refreshed banner of The Driven Podcast. The existing library of drivenchat episodes remains a compelling archive, capturing specific moments and voices from the motoring scene through relaxed yet informed dialogue. It was a show where passion for cars was the starting point, not the entire destination, often veering into the personal stories and unexpected tangents that make the automotive community so diverse. Produced by Paramex Digital, the series sits within the leisure and automotive categories, offering a backstage pass to the people who design, drive, photograph, and obsess over vehicles of all kinds.
