Buy a Classic Car & Drive it!! with Harvey Window - Lowe Classics

Author: Paramex Digital February 14, 2022 Duration: 1:04:44

Imagine stepping away from a comfortable and stable job and starting up a specialist classic car dealership, just as a global pandemic is unfolding.


This week on The Driven Chat Podcast, John Marcar talks to Harvey Window, one of the directors of Lowe Classics based out of Baffle Haus in Monmouthshire. Lowe Classics offer attainable classic cars with examples ranging from everyday favourites like Mini's and MG through to the weird and wonderful like a 1971 Dastun 240z Irmscher racing car. These guys specialise in 'the special'.


In this conversation, John talks to Harvey about his career, some of the highlight cars he's sold so far, and some solid classic car conversation and passion with some tips and ideas for anyone aspiring to jump into the world of classic car ownership.

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.
