    Really enjoying the classic car chat. A great listen. Found the podcast via the old car lady wheels and deals podcast (another favourite). Currently up to about episode 50. Listen whilst on my evening walk about. Great banter and hilarious bickering. (Sometimes you’re both wrong 😀). Keep up the great work guys.

  • My go to podcast

    Any drive over 30 minutes and I search out the latest Tyrekickers podcast. Matt and Max have entertained me on many trips and hit precisely the right (in my opinion!) blend of knowledge and banter. There’s plenty of content to associate with, plenty of controversial views to agree or disagree with. I only wish they had the resource to release more often. Definitely a 5 star podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fire up the V12! It's a Classic Motor Hub special!
Q: So how's the market been in 2026?
George says the year began slowly but sales and prices have improved slightly. He sees demand for good-condition or recently restored cars as buyers avoid the expense of restoring projects themselves.
Fire up the V12! It's a Classic Motor Hub special!
Q: What's the market for these? Because this came from Argentina, it had been in Italy, so it's a global market for these.
George says the Miura will likely be sold abroad, probably to the United States, rather than registered in the UK.
Bonus - Where Rollers Go To Die
Q: So how do you decide which bits from this car survive and which are dead?
The team checks customer orders and removes parts needed for those orders, while other useful parts replenish stock. Parts that cannot be retained are scrapped.
Bonus - Where Rollers Go To Die
Q: How do you decide when these cars come in, when they're in this state, whether they're worth saving or whether you start taking them apart?
Flying Spares assesses the bodywork, checks whether the engine runs and tests compression where possible. Buyers receive a report of the problems found and decide whether to undertake a restoration.
Bonus Episode: Coffee & Chrome
Q: What makes a modern classic more appealing than a newer model in your view?
The hosts and guests suggest slower, more tactile driving experiences and a community around older cars as a key draw, rather than raw speed or showroom polish.
