Sat, 11 Jul 2026 12:45:10 +0100

It's that time of year again and we run through what's good and what's not so good at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. From supercars to hypercars and everything in between, we pick out the highlights. Cormac has also been channelling his inner Buzz Aldrin by spending some time piloting a 1963 Ford Galaxie to see what it was like when America was actually good at things.

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 13:33:57 +0100

There's a lot to get through this week, starting with the latest instalment of Cormac getting his Mini back on the road (legally). Dave has been busy driving a whole variety of new machinery, including a 965hp Denza Z9GT and Lucid Gravity. But what you'll really want to hear is how Cormac did and then didn't buy a Citroen BX at auction.

On this week’s podcast we cover the story of Preston Tucker and his dreams of bringing to market the most innovative car the world had ever seen, but a problematic launch mixed with an investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission to put a stop to Tucker's plans of competing against the ‘Big Three’ in 1940s Chicago.

EP99: The best cars of 1999 with Nathan English

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 14:13:38 +0100

To mark the 99th episode of the 50to70 podcast, Dave and Cormac look back on some of the cars that made their debut in 1999. It seems like such a long time ago now, pre-millennium. There was no iPhone, Facebook was still five years away and electric cars were little more than experimental vehicles. We're joined by Nathan English to look back through some of the hits, and some of the misses.

How did a small Co. Wexford car builder go on to be linked with one of the coolest and fastest Le Mans cars in living memory? Gather round as Cormac tells us the story of how the TMC Costin went on to become the hybrid 750hp Panoz Esperante GTR-1 Q9. It's a good 'un.

The guys will be hosting a live recording on Thursday 4 June at 3FE Sussex Terrace, with some special guests and a unique experience that differs from the usual podcast. Tickets are available here.

We also dive into some of the more obscure innovations that never quite caught on, such as Lincoln’s disappearing door concept, Saab’s hinged engine that could alter its compression ratio and the $100m Bose suspension experiment.

Doppio 2: Lamborghini Estoque

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 14:18:10 +0000

The Lamborghini Estoque was a concept that sadly never made it to production. However, it warrants further examination because upon reflection it was a car that design-wise was far ahead of its time. Looking at it today, the Estoque could still turn heads, yet this four-door, front-engined Lambo predates the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide.

Dave and Cormac are also joined in the studio by Colin Harmon, founder of 3FE, to plot what his next car might be. Sadly, it’s not likely to be the Cadillac Cien, but that won’t stop Cormac from telling us all about the mid-engined supercar concept that was powered by a 7.5-litre V12 engine. Yum.

Remember the Saab Night Panel? This innovative dashboard made driving at night safer by showing the driver less. Only the absolute essentials appeared, with everything else unlit. It would be very welcome in today’s era of massive touchscreen and digital instrument displays. Saab was also the first to introduce both heated and ventilated seats to a passenger car.

There were more halo Ferraris than you could shake a stick at plus some incredible Citroen concept cars from the past alongside one very new one. We run through some of the idiosyncrasies of France's Presidential cars with DS and celebrate the Peugeot GTI family. Oh, and a Bugatti train, anyone?

Speaking of enormous quad-turbo engines, we delve into the rather wonderful and oft-forgotten 2004 Chrysler ME412.

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.

EP79: RIP Twingo; Citroen BX 4TC; Peugeot 205 T16; Volvo C30 Electric!

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 12:09:15 +0000

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?

Toyota also set tongues wagging this week with the unveiling of its all-new supercar, the Toyota GR GT. We run through what you need to know and explain what's happening with the next-generation Lexus LFA! There was also a scandal at JLR, where it was reported that its design boss had been fired. Conflicting reports remain, but we discuss what's going on and what the future holds.

But don't worry, as all will become clear on this week's podcast, as Cormac tells us how someone unwittingly ended up snagging the bargain of a lifetime after one of Bond's most famous cars was totally forgotten about.

Meanwhile, Dave tells us all about the new Porsche Cayenne Electric, and we go down memory lane with Cormac as he recalls the rather special Italdesign (BMW) Nazca C2 supercar from 1991.

EP39: What's Skoda doing in Vietnam & the story of Ireland's only Honda Element

Sat, 05 Apr 2025 20:32:54 +0100

Think Skoda and you think of clever and practical cars from the Czech Republic. You might not think of Skoda and come up with India or even Vietnam, but these two places play an important role in the company's future. Dave has been to Vietnam to see what's happening and what it all means.

We also (finally) tell the story of how Dave managed to get his hands on the only Honda Element in Ireland, and how Cormac is the car equivalent of the CIA when it comes to tracking down vehicles.

EP37: Remembering Eddie Jordan & learning about Joe Kelly, Ireland's first F1 driver

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 16:04:00 +0000

This week we celebrate the life of Eddie Jordan. He contributed so much to not only Formula One, but to motorsport in general, and all while proudly flying the Irish flag. This week Neil Kavanagh, our resident motorsport historian, also tells us about Joe Kelly. Not only was Joe the first Irish driver to take part in an F1 race, he took part in the very first F1 race at Silverstone in 1950! On top of all that, he has a surprising link to Ferrari.

Sat, 15 Mar 2025 14:05:07 +0000

In this week's show we discuss where it all went wrong for Ford in Europe and how using older model names isn't always the wisest strategy. Looking at you, Ford Capri. Did you also know about Fordlândia, when Ford tried to make a city in the Amazon? We mourn the end of the R35 Nissan GT-R and discuss which direction Mazda could take with the next MX-5.

BMW has done something incredible that will have a massive effect on people's productivity. Its archive of models is now available digitally, and let us tell you, it's wonderful.

We also attended the world premiere of the new Volvo ES90, an electric saloon that, as we explain, isn't technically a saloon.

Kia has unveiled a number of new electric cars, and we went to the EV Day in Barcelona to see what's up.

Sat, 12 Oct 2024 16:54:03 +0100

Jaguar is one of the most storied brands in automotive history. Under its belt are seven victories at Le Mans and some of the world's most beautiful cars. Even Enzo Ferrari described the E-Type as "the most beautiful car ever made". Now the company is undergoing a complete redux, which is the main subject of this week's episode.

We also look into the ongoing debate around tariffs on Chinese cars being imported to Europe and how it will play out for some brands, including well-know European names.
