  • Video or audio

    You asked if I’d be interested in a video podcast. Straight answer: no, keep it audio only. Always listen in the car, walking the dog or on a run. Keep up the good work.

  • My favourite pod!

    I cannot recommend this podcast enough. It’s one of my favourite parts of the week listening to 2 guys who I consider to be virtual friends chatting about the world of cars.

    Keep it up. Great work. And don’t let anybody pressure you into sticking to rigidly two cars. Always happy to hear about the Cat and your two wheeled adventures!

  • As good as the mag

    Great weekly listening!

    I have to listen even more now that Haymarket suddenly cancelled my 15+ years subscription because apparently it’s too expensive to send a printed mag to Europe…

  • Matt and Steve talk cars, The Autocar MWIC Pod

    My Week in Cars is my absolute favorite podcast, never missed an episode.

    Matt and Steve having a chat about all things automotive is such a simple concept but it works so well. It almost feels as if I am part of the conversation and I do sometimes join in to agree with a particularly well made comment.

    This pod is fresh every week but does have a number of storyline threads running through to add to the intrigue, like what Steve and Steering Committee will replace their aging Mini Cooper with,... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus: What's happening in the collector's car market?
Q: Given the explosion of interest in historic racing and rallying, people go to Goodwood Revival, seems to get more and more popular every year. They see the E-types racing, they see DB4s racing. Are you getting any read across from that, that that's provoking interest in the roadcars or two completely separate segments, and one doesn't make any difference to the other?
Harvey Stanley said historic racing has become costly and some grids are struggling, though Goodwood Revival remains a major draw. William Hunt said classic-car events do lead to increased inquiries, as they rekindle people's general interest in the cars, even when buyers ask about different models from those on track.
Bonus: What's happening in the collector's car market?
Q: I was just wondering whether you look at other market sectors like art, fashion, music, to see where the trends are and whether there's any correlation between the car market and other industry markets.
Harvey Stanley said he watches the watch market and sees some parallels, particularly in post-COVID price movements. He added that the art market has more relevance to the high end of the collector-car market, though the correlations are not always consistent.
Bonus: the Citroen 2CV returns! We meet its designer
Q: How does the target price affect the way you go about designing it? Is that a particular challenge in terms of getting a lot of content into the car?
He describes affordability as a creative constraint, explaining how a flat, single-direction-bent windscreen and specially designed steel wheels can reduce cost while contributing to the car's appearance.
Bonus: the Citroen 2CV returns! We meet its designer
Q: Could you tell us a bit about the car and what the thinking was?
Gaillot-Drevon says the team spent about a year developing a modern reinterpretation of an important Citroën icon, with extensive discussion about the design and its guiding principles.
Bonus: Thomas Yates McMurtry Managing Director
Q: So where are we now? You've reached a level where you're prepared to sell cars.
Yates says McMurtry has 27 allocated build slots and expects to be building cars through the next year. The company plans to limit production to 100 cars.
