Podcast appearances and mentions of Austin Healey

Ferdinand wanted to make cars for the people, but the Porsche brand we know is an empire of performance. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients, so here’s one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. It’s the podcast where we talk about empires that were built, businesses, business empires. You know what we… If you’ve listened before, you know… Stephen Semple: Something like that. I get it. Businesses that have done pretty well over the years. Dave Young: They started small. Stephen Semple: They started small. Dave Young: They started small and then they got big. They got so big to the point that you could call them an empire. Stephen Semple: That’s it. That’s the idea. Dave Young: It’s a pretty simple premise. Stephen Semple: That’s it. Dave Young: So as we counted down, Steve told me the topic today and it’s Porsche. Stephen Semple: Yes, sir. Dave Young: Porsche. I’m assuming this is the car. Stephen Semple: The car, yes, the car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: The car. Dave Young: And I’m trying to… I know some Porsche jokes, but I probably shouldn’t tell those on this show. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever actually been in a Porsche. Stephen Semple: Oh, well then you’ve got to come up and see me, Dave. Dave Young: You own one. I know you own one. Stephen Semple: Well, I have one. Bernier’s got two. I don’t know how many Steve has. Dave Young: I see how it is. I see how it is. Maybe I will tell my Porsche joke. So you guys that own them, do you call it Porscha? Because some of us just say Porsche. Stephen Semple: Well, if you actually take a look back, that’s the proper German pronunciation as Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, okay. Stephen Semple: And it’s supposed to not be… It’s not Italian Porsche, right? So it’s Porsche. Dave Young: Porsche, Porsche. Okay, I’ll accept that. I’ll accept that. I’m guessing we’re- Stephen Semple: Well, look, you got to always call a dealership to double check. They’ll tell you. Dave Young: Now, if I had to guess where we’re headed to start this off sometime around the 40s, maybe earlier. Stephen Semple: A little earlier than that, actually. It was founded by Ferdinand Porsche in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany. You’re not far off. But the interesting thing is where the growth really happened, even though that’s when it was founded, when things really started to happen, was actually post-World War II. Dave Young: That makes sense. Stephen Semple: You’re correct on that. Dave Young: So, it started in 31 and by the time you hit the late 30s and 40s, you’re part of the war machine. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So it was founded in 1931, Stuttgart, Germany by Ferdinand. And when we take a look at the history of the business for a very long time, they were a part of the VW group, although they were recently spun off into their own separate business. And there’s a lot of shared history between VW and Porsche. A lot of people make fun of the fact that it’s basically a VW. There’s so much connection. Now here’s the other thing is, there’s a lot of connection in Nazi Germany here as well. And I mean- Dave Young: That’s what I was intimating but trying not to say, but yes, there was definitely. Stephen Semple: And not one of these ones of, “Oh, I’m a business and I got sucked up into the machine.” I mean, very early on. Very early on. Ferdinand was a member of the SS following the war, both he and his son were charged. Dave Young: No kidding. Stephen Semple: He served two years in jail. His son six months. So we’re not talking loose connections here. He was a buddy of Adolf. Let’s just put it out there. And if you remember, going back to episode 21, VW was founded by Nazi Germany. So episode 21 about The Beetle, and Ferdinand was the guy who designed the Beetle. Dave Young: Right, right. I remember you saying that, Ferdinand Porsche. Stephen Semple: And look, Porsche has not always had the success it has today. It’s become pretty big. They do 40 billion EU in sales. They have 40,000 employees. They make 300,000 cars. There was a time that they’re making cars in the hundreds and thousands. It wasn’t that long ago. But let’s go back to Germany to the early 1900s. And if we think about Germany at that time, pre-World War II, pre-World War I, there was lots of history of engineering and science in Germany. More Nobel Prizes in Science was awarded to Germany than anywhere else in the world at that time. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: Germany was a real leader in science and engineering. And the first commercial automobile was made in Germany by Mercedes-Benz. So it’s 1906 and Daimler recruits Ferdinand because Ferdinand had been the winner of the Pottingham [inaudible 00:06:05] Prize, which is the automotive engineer of the year, which is given to new chief engineers and basically allows the person to have this designated doctor engineer honoris causa, Ferdinand Porsche. And he would go around calling himself all of that. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And this is an honorary doctorate because he never actually finished college, but he had real engineering chops, Ferdinand. So he moves to Stuttgart, which at the time is a center of car making in Germany, including all the suppliers. And he works for Benz for 20 years. Okay. Now, it’s Germany in the 1930s and 2% of the population own a car in Germany as compared to the United States, which is 30%. Dave Young: In that time? Stephen Semple: In that time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Ferdinand comes up with this idea of we should make an inexpensive car. We shouldn’t be making car for the wealthy. We should make an inexpensive car. The board rejects the idea. Ferdinand leaves in 1929. And in 1931… Kicks around for a few years, and then 1931 starts a consulting firm. Now, this dude knew how to name things. You’re ready for the name of the company? Dave Young: Of the consulting firm? Stephen Semple: Of the consulting firm. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: I have to read this to get it right. The Doctor Engineer Honoris Causa Ferdinand Porsche Construction and Consulting and Design Services for Motor Vehicles. Dave Young: Now, if I know anything about German, that was all one word that you just said, right? Stephen Semple: Well- Dave Young: No spaces in between any of those words. Stephen Semple: Translated, you’ll see it as Dr. in H period, C period, F period, Porsche, capital G, small M, small B, capital H. Dave Young: It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Stephen Semple: Now, here’s the crazy thing. Up until 2009, that remained the official name of the company. You actually can find, if you see Porsche’s older than that, that if you look for that, it’ll be stamped somewhere in the car that that’s the manufacturer. Dave Young: They changed it finally because it was just too expensive to- Stephen Semple: It cost too much- Dave Young: Put that many letters in a dye cast. Stephen Semple: Exactly, exactly. Dave Young: Holy cow. Stephen Semple: So it’s 1934 and they land a contract with Germany to design a small affordable car for the people called the Volkswagen. Dave Young: Volkswagen. Stephen Semple: Beetle. Right, there you go. Now, here’s the thing that’s weird. Post World War II, the allies are in trying to rebuild Germany and no one owns VW. VW was owned by the state. So now it’s in the hands of the British and the British and the allies want to create a strong economy in West Germany because it’s now the Cold War. So the big defense to defending against East Germany and the expansion of communism is to really get the economy going in Germany. And so the British government, as we know from episode 21 about the Beetle, approached Porsche who designed it and said, “Help us get this car built.” And this is where it gets just a little bit weird because the son goes in one direction. Ferdinand’s doing his own thing. They both got arrested for war crimes. Son gets out first because he did six months. And his son’s name’s Ferry and his dad is in jail for two years. So between this time where dad’s still in jail and son’s out, here’s one of the things they did towards the end of the war. We don’t know exactly how many, but it was probably about 20 of their best engineers and they moved them out into the farmland of Austria and basically had them working in a barn because they didn’t want to get them arrested or killed, quite frankly. So Ferry gets out and he goes to this barn in Austria and he’s looking around and he goes, “What the heck are we going to do to make some money? Let’s start fixing up cars.” Now, not a huge business fixing up cars. It’s post-war and there weren’t a lot of cars in Germany anyway, but they had to do something. Then the dad gets out of jail and he ends up doing this work with Volkswagen. Now, here’s what’s interesting. And this is where the really tight ties between Porsche and Volkswagen start. The deal that the German government gives Ferdinand, the deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories to Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: The deal that the allies give Ferdinand is this. We want your help designing and distributing this car. We will give you a royalty for every VW Beetle sold worldwide. Dave Young: Wow, that’s pretty generous. Stephen Semple: Well, no one knew it was going to be such a huge success and basically go for 50 years that car was being built. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: So for a long time, the biggest source of revenue for Porsche was royalties on VW Beetle sales. Dave Young: Wow, okay. So it really- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: It really wouldn’t exist if that deal hadn’t been made. Stephen Semple: May not have, may not have. Now, meanwhile, Ferry, who has design chops of his own and loves cars, started tinkering around with vehicles. And what he started to do was put big engines in small cars. There was all these Beetle parts lying around. He would build a car, this little car, and he’d put a big engine in it. And if you go back in the time, if you go back and take a look in the late 30s, early 40s, and you take a look at Ferraris and things like that, you take a look at the race cars at the time, they were two-thirds engines. They’re these massive engines. So he went the opposite direction. He said, “Well, let’s take a little car and put a big engine in it.” And he’s driving around and he goes, “This is fun.” Because he’s basing it on parts lying around, which is the VW stuff. It’s an engine in the back. This becomes the Porsche 356, which is basically Porsche’s first car. So they start making this car and they wanted to make it somewhat affordable. So the price was $3,750, which would be $42,000 today. And they also wanted to have it as being a daily driver because again, everybody else making performance cars were not daily drivers, had a trunk, bunch of things, daily driver. And this is an important part of Porsche’s DNA. We’re going to come back to this a little bit later, this idea of it being a daily driver. So coming out of World War II, sports cars, industry’s happening and everybody’s got one. MG and Jag in the UK, there’s Ferrari in Italy, you get the idea. Now, one thing I forgot to mention that’s interesting and still today, the government state of Lower Saxony, which is basically would be the state, they still own 20% of Volkswagen. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: I forgot to mention that. Dave Young: Who are they now? Stephen Semple: Well, Volkswagen’s still around. Volkswagen’s still- Dave Young: No, who is the Saxony? Stephen Semple: Well, it’d be like saying the state of Texas. It’s a state. Dave Young: Okay, it’s just a part of Germany. Stephen Semple: Part of Germany and that government still owns 20% of the company. Dave Young: What a world. Stephen Semple: Now there’s all this stimulus going on in Germany to try to get the economy going. One of the things that they did, there was a really interesting tax rate. There was an interesting tax structure. There was a very high marginal tax rate. Now, ordinary people were taxed at 15%, but the marginal tax rate could go as high as 95%. And the reason why they wanted to do this was create this incentive for reinvestment. So there’s all this… As they’re making money, there’s this heavy reinvestment. And in the early 50s, racing is really exploding. Automobile racing is really exploding, but the lines between professional and amateur is blurry. If you remember, James Dean and Steve McQueen and other actors, Paul Newman, were all racing. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: They’re all racing vehicles. And Jaguar and Porsche were trying to do the same thing in terms of creating this daily driver that you could race. Now in the end, Porsche won, and I think part of it is because quite frankly, they just built a better vehicle. There was a time where the joke with Jaguars was you had to own two because one would always be in the shop and one… And going back to the early DNA, Ferry Porsche was quoted as saying, “We have the only car that can go from an East African safari to race in the Le Mans to take out to theater and then drive on the streets in New York.” Dave Young: Wow, okay. Stephen Semple: And look, today, Porsche still heavily advertises that. They will advertise a Porsche driving through the snow with ski racks on it. And not their SUVs, the 911. This is very much part of it. And if you think about it, this parallels what Rolex did in the early days. You remember from episode 184 with Rolex. Rolex, the Submariner, the Explorer. Dave Young: Target by niche. Stephen Semple: Target by niche and make it tough and something that you could use and wear day to day. So it’s 1954 and Porsche’s selling 588 cars and about 40% of them is in the US. So really what’s making things hum with them is all those Beetle sales. And it’s the ’60s, the Ford Mustang comes out, the Jag E type comes out, the Austin-Healey comes out, and Porsche decides they need a new vehicle. And they were going to do a sedan, a four door sedan. But what they realized was they didn’t really want to compete with Mercedes and BMW. So they looked around at the other German car manufacturers and they said, “You know what? That’s probably not the place to go.” They had designed it up and that project failed. They had also been working on a six cylinder Boxter engine. So Boxter engine, the cylinders are opposed, so they’re like boxing. And the whole idea is that lowers the center of gravity of the weight of the engine. And they had a project that they were working on that that didn’t go ahead. So they stepped back and they went, “Maybe what we should do is just reduce the size of the sedan and put that engine in it.” That’s what they did. And that became the Porsche 901. Except there’s a problem. Peugeot had the copyright for zero in the middle of a bunch of numbers in France. They couldn’t call it the 901 because of that copyright. Dave Young: So they called it- Stephen Semple: So they called it the 911. And that’s now the iconic Porsche car. 1966, they sell 13,000 of these cars. Now, here’s the thing that I think is very interesting. And Porsche, as far as I could figure out, is the only car manufacturer that does this. First of all, they’ve maintained the 911 forever, but even on top of that, Porsche really understands design language. We can all recognize a Porsche. Dave Young: Right. Stephen Semple: We can recognize one from 2020. We can recognize one from 1999. We can recognize one from 1970. Even though they’ve upgraded the technology, they’ve changed the design of the car. They’ve now come out with the Cayman and the Macan and the Cayenne. They’re all recognizable as that vehicle. They’ve done a great job of doing that. I think that was a lost opportunity, frankly, when Tesla came out because they had a clean design slate. Tesla could have done that. But I think that’s really interesting how they’ve managed to maintain, even though they’ll modernize it. In our minds, we still will see one and go, “That’s a Porsche.” Dave Young: Sure. And the great car brands are able to do that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Audi is always going to be an Audi. Volvo is always going to look like a Volvo. And in the Portals class at Wizard Academy, one of the videos that I use to demonstrate that, there’s a language. If you combine specific shapes and specific lines, that all adds up to that brand of car. And so I’ve got an old video that I got when I was in the Motor Press Guild from Audi. It was just a video that was made for journalists with an Audi designer explaining all the lines on the car when they came out with the Q7 and how it still maintained the Audi design language. It was fascinating. Stephen Semple: It is. Dave Young: So Porsche could tell you that and the cool thing is those designers can tell you that. It’s hard for you and I to go, “Well, I can look at it and say, “That’s a Porsche.” But to be able to put it into words that describe it to someone else, is a gift. Stephen Semple: What’s really interesting, my nephew, Jeffrey, he loves Audi’s. That’s what he has. And he’ll even make the comment, he doesn’t like the Porsche’s because you feel like you’re in a bubble. Audis are very square. If you look at the back of an Audi and you look at the rear end of a Porsche, it has hips. But again, he’s even, “They’re great cars, but I like the squareness of the Audi.” So that’s interesting. Dave Young: Audi Audi has a fairly, not perpendicular, but an upright grill more so than a … And that’s part of their design language. Stephen Semple: So the whole DNA of Porsche came from this whole idea of a small car. Dave Young: Big engine. Stephen Semple: Big engine, daily driver, that was the whole idea is, it’s supposed to be a car that you can drive every day. That’s the core, core, core, core principle. That’s why they always have decent sized trunks. I remember when Gary bought his Boxter, one of the things he loved about it is you can actually put two sets of golf clubs in that car. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Right? Now, here’s what’s fun. There was a time where when they were really wanting to get things going, they did some great print advertisements. So they had ads like bug killer. Another one was calling it transportation is like calling sex reproduction. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, two of my favorites, one was not perfect. It would list 20 or 30 races that Porsche won. And if you actually read it, there was two that it didn’t. Dave Young: That they didn’t, “We didn’t win all the races.” Stephen Semple: So not perfect. Dave Young: That could have been driver error. Stephen Semple: That could have been. But Dave, you were going to make some jokes. Porsche’s able to laugh at itself. It actually had an ad that said, “Small penis? Have I got a car for you? If you’re going to overcompensate, then by all means, overcompensate.” Dave Young: I love it, I love it. Well, and that’s always the thing, the jokes are not about the car. Stephen Semple: But they actually ran that ad and I believe it ran in Car and Driver Magazine. I cannot imagine getting that ad approved. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: And look, their own drivers are like, “Yeah, whatever.” Dave Young: Sure, compensating all I want. Absolutely. I love that story. Well, thank you, Stephen. I love the story of Porsche. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: And get out there and enjoy it or just buy me one and send it here. Thank you.

Joining Jill and Doron on the 26th episode of the podcast, to tell us his story is British businessman Peter Rhodes.   Peter was raised in Kensington where he attended St. David's prep school before arriving at Carmel, sight unseen.  After ‘A‘ levels, he had a diverse career in retail, advertising and exhibitions, during which he worked at the Jewish Chronicle, M&S and the New Musical Express.  In 2007, the Queen awarded him an OBE for services to British business interests in France based on his thirty years at the helm of Reed Midem, organising international fairs - mostly in Cannes - for the music, TV and property industries.  Now retired, Peter is an active BAFTA member and sells sculptures and ceramics created by Sue, his wife of 47 years, with whom he has a daughter.   Hear Peter talk about in what unexpected way Carmel bested Oxford, Mr Healey's distinctive French accent, racing from Reading to Mongewell Park in Mr. Coombe's Austin Healey, King Lear in the amphitheater, and his time in ‘The Mad Hatters'.   Thank you, Peter Rhodes, for turning us again to Carmel days!   Dedication: at Peter's request, this episode is dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. David Stamler, Headmaster of Carmel College from 1961 to ‘71, who in December 2021 died in New York, aged 93.   Personal mentions in this episode: Dr. David Stamler (Headmaster, Vice Principal) Joshua Gabbay (French) Rabbi Dr. Kopul Rosen (Founder, Headmaster) John Bunney (Physics) Tim Healey (History & Cricket) Mr. Latham (English) Mr. J.

Zuhanó repülők, kigyulladt autók - Hufnágel Kapitány - MÓKA Podcast ep. 218   Sziasztok! Üdvözlünk mindenkit a legújabb podcast epizódban, ahol egy igazán különleges vendéggel beszélgettünk, akit a YouTube böngészése közben fedeztem fel. Ez az úriember nem csak az autók szerelmese, hanem veterán autók mestere is, és ha ez még nem lenne elég, egy repülőgép pilóta is! Tartsatok velünk, mert garantáltan érdekes és humoros epizód következik!   Ahogy böngésztem a YouTube-ot, rábukkantam erre a fantasztikus csatornára, ami azonnal magával ragadott. A videóiban nemcsak a legmenőbb veterán autókat bütyköli, hanem olyan humorral mesél, hogy nem lehet nem nevetni. Az, hogy mindezt olyan módon tudja elmagyarázni, hogy egy 13 éves is simán megértse, az igazi tehetség.   Nemcsak autókról esik szó a csatornáján, hanem a repülés világáról is, hiszen ő maga is pilóta. Képzeljétek el, hogy egy nap autószerelő, másnap meg már a felhők között szárnyal!    Ellátogattam hozzá, hogy személyesen hallgassam meg a történetét, és őszintén szólva, nem csalódtam. Mesélt a repülésről, az autók iránti szenvedélyéről, és arról, hogyan talált rá erre a különleges kombinációra.   Az ő neve? Hufnágel Kapítány. És miért nevezik így? Erre is választ kapsz.   Elmeséli, hogyan lett pilóta, hányszor kellett kényszerleszállást végezni és azt is, hogy semmiképpen ne Mexikóban zuhanj le. Beszélünk az autógyűjteményéről. A Restomod Trabantjáról vagy Fehér Hollóról, a patinás Wartburgról, a Barkasjairól, valamint a Barkas autómentőről. Nála van Kővári Barna verseny Trabantja is. De nem csak kelet-európai autók vannak a gyűjteményében. Ott van például Betsy, az 1956-os Buick, vagy az én kedvencem, a Ford Fairlane. A majdnem leégett Austin Healey, vagy az ő kedvence, a DeSoto.   Ha kedvet kaptál egy virtuális krúzingra, tarts velünk.   Hufnágel Kapítány csatornája: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@bountyflyer)  

On June 11, 1955, Pierre Levegh's Mercedes-Benz 300SLR launched off the back of Lance Macklin's Austin Healey and into a crowd of spectators gathered for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Over 80 people were killed, with an additional 120 injured. It was a tragedy, and it was one that instantly transformed the racing world.  Today on "Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys," we're delving into the complex aftermath of this horrific event in order to better understand how the global racing world changed.

Hicimos un podcast titulado, “Los coches italianos, ¿son tan malos?”. Y me pedisteis éste. Y en este caso, puedo quitar las interrogaciones. Porque los coches británicos son ¡tan malos!… Por qué desaparecieron. Las marcas inglesas que quedan son todo… menos inglesas. ¿Qué pasó para que una industria líder se fuera al traste? Eso es, justamente, lo que os vamos a contar. Pero arrancamos con una exclusiva. Volvamos a los coches ingleses. Siempre se ha dicho que la pasión que sienten los italianos por el diseño la sienten los ingleses por la mecánica… yo lo pongo en duda a la vista de los resultados. Antes de contar como una industria que era puntera antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, con más de 250 marcas, muchas firmas de prestigio, modelos muy avanzados haya prácticamente desaparecido vamos a hacer un repaso a la situación actual… Y ya os lo adelanto: Para llorar. Vamos a ver que ha sido de algunas marcas inglesas y aunque no están todas las que son, sí son todas las que están. Aston Martin: Al menos Aston sigue en actividad y no en manos de los chinos, pero se podría decir que ya no es inglesa sino canadiense, pues su principal accionista el Lawrence Stroll. Con todo, es casi la mejor parada. Austin: Ahora es propiedad del grupo chino Nanjing Automobile, no fabrica en el Reino Unido ni fabrica coches realmente destacables. Bentley: Pertenece al grupo VW y, voy a ser duro, absurdos y carísimos coches de lujo con mecánica VW, incluido, por supuesto, un más absurdo todavía Bentley SUV llamado Bentayga. Jaguar: Con su destino unido a Land Rover, no se ha convertido en marca china. Se ha convertido en marca india. Algunos diréis que se dice hindú o Indi… pues no, porque según la RAE, hindú se refiere a la religión e Indi a la religión. Y Ratan Tata, dueño del grupo Tata, que a su vez es dueño de Jaguar, es indio. Land Rover: Ha unido su destino a Jaguar, o sea, es del grupo indio Tata. London Electric Vehicle Company: La marca que fabricaba y fabrica entre otros los taxis de Londres es ahora del enorme grupo chino Geely. Lotus: Ha pasado por muchas vicisitudes, pero en la actualidad es propiedad del grupo chino Geely… ¡si Colin Chapman levantase la cabeza! Se volvía a morir. Mini: Es desde hace mucho una marca del grupo BMW, con identidad propia, con un guiño a su pasado “british” pero más alemana que las salchichas de Frankfurt. Morgan: Desapareció en 2003. DEP. Rolls Royce: Es de BMW y podría decir de ella algo parecido a lo que he dicho de Bentley… pero creo que BMW, quizás tras la exitosa experiencia con Mini, ha sabido conservar algo del sabor británico. Rover: Que yo no tiene nada que ver son Land Rover ni Ranger Rover, desaparición en 2005. DEP. Triumph: Aún subsiste como fabricante de motos gracias a otro millonario, John Bloor. Como fabricante de coches ha desaparecido pero la propiedad del nombre y la marca es de los alemanes de BMW. Vauxhall: Una marca muy británica paso a manos de GM y los Opel allí se llamaban Vauxhall. Ahora, como Opel, es del grupo “ítalo-americano-francés” Stellantis. Si algo ha caracterizado al mundo del automóvil en el Reino Unido ha sido el lío enorme de marcas y grupos. Entre la Primera y Segunda Guerra Mundial nacen multitud de marcas de coches en el Reino Unido, se calcula que incluyendo todas, hasta las más pequeñas, unas 250. La Segunda Guerra Mundial fue una criba y no todas supervivieron. La llegada de los deportivos ingleses, incluidos los pequeños y no tan pequeños como Aston Martin, Jaguar o Jensen, y sobre todo de los roadster como los Austin-Healey, MG, Sunbeam o Triumph dio aire a esta industria, pues estos modelos tuvieron enorme éxito en la propia Inglaterra, pero sobre todo fuera de Inglaterra. Eran coches muy bonitos, con mucha personalidad, pero si entrabas en detalles… mejor no entrar. La calidad de fabricación era mala y muchos de sus motores estaban diseñados en la pre guerra, la calidad de construcción era mala, sin paliativos y los sistemas eléctricos eran una pesadilla para talleres y usuarios. Una pregunta, ¿a quién se le ocurrió poner el borne positivo de la batería a masa? Era una buena forma de asegurarse que el sistema eléctrico iba a dar problemas. Falta un detalle: Mano de obra cara. Cara en valores absolutos y sobre todo si nos atenemos a la calidad/precio. En los años 70, 80 y 90 la mano de obra por ejemplo de España era igual o más cualificada y mucho más barata… ahora nos pasa con los países del oriente europeo, como Polonia…

Mike and Elliott are joined by Tigers legend Austin Healey to discuss his time at Tigers and the challenges of remaining impartial when commentating and wanting them to win every game 50-0.  Plus, we review a tough win against a resilient Caldy side in the Premiership Cup, before looking ahead to a tricky fixture away at Sale in the same competition.

The episode starts out as a story about a broken down vintage Austin-Healey and a chance encounter with a real life superhero. It evolves into stories about helping others, being part of the fabric of the community, and aslo a big surprise for host C-A's friend Mike. 

In the final episode Mel and Giles go on a special adventure. Under the arches by the Thames they meet Matthew Quitter who runs London Electric Vehicles, they take an electric Austin Healey for a drive and go to Essex to see the 1950s Bristol that Mel's husband wants to electrify.

e might be more known for playing rugby, but Austin Healey, who won 51 caps for England, was named after the famous British racing car. He's an ambassador for SOGO Mobility - a company that believes short-term or flexible leasing cars could be a solution for drivers who don't want to commit to a lengthy lease agreement in the current economic climate.The cost-of-living crisis means many won't be able to afford electric vehicles yet the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars is just 7 years away.As new research has found a third (33%) of people who own a car said they were more likely to replace their existing car by taking out a loan or lease over a 3-year period than 12 months ago.A further 37% agree that short-term leasing could be financially beneficial and 29% believe it could help speed up the process of reaching net zero by 2030.Car enthusiast Healey is available on Thursday 26th January. 9th February. to talk about his love for cars and his involvement with SOGO as well as reflect on Steve Borthwick's first game as England's Head Coach last weekend against Scotland and look ahead to England's next challenge against Italy.

Hemos tenido una oportunidad de lujo, ¡probar un Ferrari! Y para eso… ¡nos hemos ido a Tenerife! Bueno, en realidad no es un Ferrari, sino un Dino, la marca que Enzo Ferrari creó en honor a su hijo. Pero, no tengáis ninguna duda, todos los Dino son auténticos Ferrari. Tengo que dar las gracias al Real Automóvil Club de Tenerife y a todo su staff que me han tratado de maravilla. Y por supuesto a Fernando, el propietario del coche, que se fio de mi… bueno, le devolví el Dino de una pieza. Como os contaba, hemos participado con un Dino en la XXI Clásica de Tenerife extraordinariamente organizada por el Real Automóvil Club de Tenerife que ha tenido un verdadero éxito de convocatoria. Entre los invitados había personajes muy relevantes, como Mario Illien, Ingeniero especialista en motores de F1 y ligado a Red Bull, que participó en un Chevrolet Corvette de 1958, o el Cónsul Honorario de Malta, Dottore Claudio Marciano di Scala, que participó a bordo de un Jaguar E. No puedo hablar de todos los coches presentes, así que he elegido 5 que no sé si son los mejores, pero sí los que más me han sorprendido: -Austin Healey 100/4 de 1955, un modelo por el que tengo debilidad, precioso, con un motor imponente, pero que hay que saber conducir… -Chevrolet Corvette C1 de 1958, para mí el Corvette más auténtico. Además había dos unidades de idéntica estética: Bicolor blando y rojo, bonito a rabiar. -Mercedes 300 SL, aunque el Coupé “alas de gaviota” sea el más famoso, la versión descapotable, aparte de preciosa, tenía mejoras en chasis y suspensiones. -MG B de 1963, porque la iniciales de “Morris Garage” antes de que las comprase una empresa china eran sinónimo de auténticos y puros roadster americanos. -Alfa Romeo Montreal de 1973, porque es un coche que conocí en mi preadolescencia y es un coche que siempre me encantó… además no lo conocía en color verde, Estos son los elegidos… pero hubiese elegido 100. Hubo dos Dino, el 206 inicial y el 246. No, no hay muchas diferencias, ¡hay muchísimas! Incluso, aunque parecen casi iguales, las paneles de carrocería no son intercambiables. Ambos contaban con motor, por supuesto, V6 que era la idea inicial de “Alfredino”, algo así como la mitad de un V12… aunque era un diseño del que se partía de 0. En el 206 la carrocería y el motor eran de aluminio y con 2.0 litros ofrecía 180 CV a 8.000 rpm. En el 246 la carrocería era de chapa y el bloque motor de hierro, pero con la cilindrada subida a 2,4 litros y una potencia de 195 CV. Nunca había probado un Dino y mi primera duda era “¿Cabré dentro?”. El día de mi llegada a Tenerife, fue una de las primeras cosas que hicimos: Irnos a probar el Dino. Afortunadamente, cabía. Si la primera impresión es la que cuenta… pues no puede ser mejor. Ya antes de subirte, antes de arrancar, antes de oír su motor, sólo con verlo, el Dino enamora, ¡qué bonito es! ¡Qué gran trabajo hizo Pininfarina son este coche! Y cuando subes notas que estás ante un coche muy especial, todo en Ferrari. Pero la fiesta comienza cuando arrancas… En recta el Dino se desenvuelve bien. Los 195 CV para menos de 1.200 kg sumado a la buena motricidad y buenas relaciones cambio y un manejo rápido permiten aceleraciones más que respetables. Los frenos son, sencillamente, un lujo. Agradezco la ausencia de servofreno que, si bien es verdad que hace más “física” la conducción del coche, te permite modular la frenada, algo de especial interés en un coche deportivo, ligero y, claro está, sin ABS. ¡Dadme curvas!, porque donde destaca el Dino es en las curvas: ¡que facilidad para meter el coche en la curva! ¡Qué paso por curva! ¡Qué motricidad!... No olvidemos que el sueño de Alfredo Ferrari, “Alfredino” para los amigos, Dino para su padre y para la posteridad, era hacer un coche que ofreciese las sensaciones de un auténtico Ferrari, que fuese más accesible… y que fuese relativamente utilizable. Y el Dino lo es… En todo esto hay una mala noticia. Tenerife es una isla… maravillosa, pero una isla. ¿Y qué tiene de malo esto? Que mis planes de darme a la fuga y “robar” el DINO se van al traste. ¡Cuánto me costó separarme de él! Pero tengo que agradecer la confianza de FERNANDO de dejarme nada menos que un Dino… Sinceramente, yo no sé si lo haría. Ha sido una gran oportunidad porque, lo confieso, que durante un tiempo yo fui de esos que, de alguna manera, despreciaban al Dino. Probarlo no solo ha sido un placer, ha sido un fenómeno reivindicativo, por parte del coche, de la marca, si me apuras, del propio “Alfredino”… este coche tiene algo de especial, no solo es un verdadero Ferrari, es un Ferrari, como diría un andaluz, con “duende”, con alma. Para acabar la conclusión es sencilla: A veces los sueños se cumplen y para mí, probar este coche, ha sido un sueño.

John is a life long car guy. All of his favorite toys had wheels. Growing up on the north side of Chicago, two of his favorite early memories includes drives down Lake Shore Dr. in an MGA with the top down, (which really started his love of British Sports Cars) and when the orange pedal car was brought downstairs for a sidewalk drive. That was officially his first car. His second was a fairly ratty, but still loved red 1960 TR3. There were a variety of cars in the early days, foreign and domestic. A 1969 Road Runner, a 1973 Grand Am with a four speed, and a 1972 MGB were among a few early cars. Later came a long string of practical and sporty BMW 3 and 5 Series cars. Somewhere in the late 80 and early nineties was a 944 Turbo.In 1996 John bought a 1963 Austin Healey BJ7 3000. He met his long-time friend Mark Baker when Sport and Specialty did some much-needed maintenance on the car. Re-bitten by the British Car bug, and deciding it was “now or never” John found a 1960 Bugeye race car and brought it back to racing duty. Next, he joined North Suburban Sports Car Club and went to his first driving school in 1998, and received his Novice Competition License. He has held a competition and instructors license since 1998. He also holds a Chief and Operating Steward's license from Midwestern Council and serves as the Vintage / Historic Racing Chair and Vintage Motorsport Council delegate. He campaigns his lovely yellow 1969 Alfa Romeo GTV and BMW 2002 with MCSCC and the Vintage Sports Car Drivers Association (VSCDA) in general vintage races and the B Sedan Trans Am series. He also runs his track and street ready1983 Caterham Super Seven when the occasion arises.After a long and successful career in sales and marketing and general management, John knew it was time to do something he truly loved. After the passing of his friend Mark, the business that he knew so well through his friendship with Mark was in danger of shutting down. The business had a talented and dedicated crew and good business basics in place, so after helping the family operate the business in 2012, he began discussing some purchase options to keep the business alive and growing. At the end of 2012, he purchased the business and hasn't looked back. He couldn't be happier, he works with a talented crew, gets to go racing when he can, and has successfully turned his passion into his livelihood! What could be better?

Austin Healey, also known as the Leicester Lip, was a hugely versatile player, gaining international caps for England at scrum-half, fly-half and wing. Healey began his career with Orrell and Waterloo at wing or outside centre before switching to scrum-half when he signed for Leicester Tigers in 1996. It was this admirable versatility that proved to be Healey's greatest success and disadvantage in the game leading to him often, unfairly, being labelled as a "jack of all trades, master of none". In reality Healey was at times a fiercely intelligent scrum-half, full of snap and niggle and always aware of the chance for a sniping break. On the wing, his pace and tactical awareness allowed him opportunities at club and international level following the arrival of Fijian Waisale Serevi at Leicester. His desire to play at fly-half was granted at Leicester at the expense of Andy Goode, but Healey never reached the heights expected of him in the position. Indeed, he only won a single England cap at 10. Healey was an often outspoken member of the rugby fraternity, having spats with coaches Graham Henry, Andy Robinson and Pat Howard during his eventful career. He received his full England debut against Ireland in the 1997 Five Nations, and went on to amass 51 England caps. During his career he was a Lions tourist in 1997 on the victorious tour of South Africa and again in 2001 during the series loss to Australia. His only Test caps came as a replacement in the second and third Tests in 1997. Healey's finest moments on a rugby pitch came in the green and red of Leicester however. In the 2001 an 2002 Heineken Cup finals Healey was instrumental in bringing the silverware to Welford Road. He provided the break that led to the winning score against Stade Francais in 2001, and he scored the decisive try himself against Munster in 2002. Following the high of the 2002 Heineken Cup win, it was back down to earth when Healey was left out of England's World Cup-winning squad in 2003. This event would gnaw at Healey to the end of his career, and he never played for England again following the World Cup warm-up with France in August 2003. His retirement came at the end of the 2005-06 season following several damaging injuries. Healey then worked for Credit Suisse and served as an analyst for the BBC and Sky. In 2008 Healey took part in the sixth series of Strictly Come Dancing, following in the footsteps of Matt Dawson and Kenny Logan. In 2010, Healey was confirmed as ESPN's lead analyst prior to the UK channel's first season of Aviva Premiership rugby.

Leon Lloyd was an integral part of a Leicester Tigers team who were one of the most successful English rugby teams in the history of the sport. Leon scored the winning try in a Heineken Cup final (2001) as well as scoring over 460 points during the 6 Premiership League titles they won over a 12 year period, which takes a dedication to improvement and constantly striving for excellence.  Having lived with England World Cup winning captain, Martin Johnson at the tender age of 17, which shaped and influenced Leon to be the best that he could be and subsequently this mindset cascades across all areas of his life. To be surrounded with the likes of Neil Back, Ben Kay and Austin Healey on a daily basis still has Leon asking himself 'what would Backy do in this situation'?! Post rugby, Leon has gone on to be a CEO, a published author and one of the UK's most sought after Keynote Speakers taking on subjects that he knows intimately such as; teamwork, culture, leadership and performance.
