Max Girardo of Girado & Co

Max Girardo of Girado & Co

Author: Paramex Digital October 16, 2023 Duration: 1:30:34

If we asked you to list ten people specialising in selling the most exciting road and racing cars, we'd suspect that Max Girardo would be on that list.


Girardo and Co. is a name that has become synonymous with buying, selling, and storing (for a lucky few) some of the most notable cars. For this week's podcast episode, John Marcar and Miles Lacey visit Max at his home and business in Oxfordshire, where they have a full tour of the facilities before sitting down for a chat.


Max's career has seen him selling for globally renowned auctioneers such as Bonhams and RM and working with other famous specialists such as Simon Kidston. Max shares the details of his unorthodox career and explains how and why he's fluent in 4 languages and the importance of all things Italian.

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.
