Journey Across Britain: Gez Parton's Vintage Car Adventure

On this episode of Backseat Driver Podcast, I have a special guest - Gez Parton, a devoted vintage car enthusiast. Gez takes us on his remarkable journey from Worthing to John O'Groats, then Land's End, and back home, showcasing the enduring capabilities of old cars. He shares his motivations, including cancelled events and wanting to fulfil a bucket list item. Despite encountering some car troubles, Gez's determination shines through as he switches from his 1934 Austin Seven, affectionately named Poppy, to his trusty 1936 Austin Seven called Josie. Join us as Gez passionately discusses his love for classic cars and the sheer joy of embarking on unforgettable adventures behind the wheel of these timeless beauties.
