My Dad's Car : Nostalgic cars of our childhoodAuthor: Andy Gregory and Jon Recknell
Join Andy and Jon, two friends who have discussions with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia and family history. Each episode kicks off with us asking our guest whats your earliest car memory?From there its a journey back through time towards the modern day, but generally focusing on vehicles we remember from childhood.We ask about siblings, neighbours, music, smells, smoking, breakdowns, selling, buying, accidents and more. Despite the podcast title, we dont discriminate against cars belonging to other people, such as Mums, Grans, Uncles, Aunts, friends, or even a neighbours. If those cars made an impression, we want to talk about them.

Episode 7
Monday, 26 January, 2026
Send us a textWe recorded this live at the NEC Classic Motor Show, in the back of a Land Rover Campervan! Our guest is the founder and CEO of Iconic Auctioneers - the massive auction at the show, Nick Whale.Nick's Dad was a Car Dealer, so its safe to say cars are in his blood. His Dad imported a Camaro when he was young, and then as a the CEO of a successful chain of car dealerships, would buy a brand new Rolls Royce each year, and did this for many years on the bounce.Sadly, his fellow classmates at boarding school took his Dad's flash car as a reason to pick on him. Nick recalls being a VIP guest at the Vauxhall Firenza launch - he got to meet Gerry Marshall, and later became good friends with him and now owns an ex-Gerry Marshall Firenza road car. We chat about auctions of course, motorsport and Nick's love of racing, and also the enthusiasm some of his kids are showing for cars too. A great episode, which we thoroughly enjoyed recording - we hope you enjoy it too. Please check out Iconic Auctioneers here if you are searching for a top quality, best in class classic car.
