OB5. Cars that lived up to the hype, cars that didn't, and what happened to MPVs - in a Ford S-Max

from Overbore · host Overbore

On Overbore this week, Kitch tells Scrof about the super-rare car he's been working on this week (it's not what you're expecting it to be - or maybe it is...), and explains why the Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6L is the perfect car for a trip to Newcastle.Scrof tells Kitch why he preferred the Lotus Carlton to the Ford Escort Cosworth, and tells the story of his short, mildly terrifying drive in a Jaguar XJ220.Also on the show this week: MPVs were everywhere once, but now they're almost extinct. We work out what happened and where they all went, and explain why we should mourn their passing. Plus: we get nostalgic about what was once the most important date on the car industry's calendar: the Eastleigh Motor Show.
