Automotive passion knows no borders in this fascinating exploration of European racing heritage and the world's most extraordinary car collections.
We're joined by Lincoln Small, author of "Abarth Radborn Racing and Me," who transports us to the vibrant racing scene of 1960s Britain and Italy. Lincoln shares how he discovered Abarth's modified Fiats "like an epidemic" across Italy before bringing the underdog brand to compete against Britain's beloved Mini Coopers. His firsthand account reveals how these tiny, lightweight Italian machines with minimal horsepower managed to "humiliate lots of very large engine cars" through exceptional handling and engineering.
The conversation shifts to the business side of racing as Lincoln explains how he established Radborn Racing and created a network of dealerships offering Abarth parts and conversion services throughout the UK. Though our international connection was unfortunately cut short, the interview provides a rare glimpse into a fascinating chapter of European motoring history.
Jeff takes us on a journey through the world's most impressive automotive collections, from Dmitry Lomakov's Soviet-era military vehicles in Moscow to Ken Lingenfelter's performance-driven treasures in Michigan. We discover Gary Duncan's Japanese car obsession featuring 100 Nissan Fiegos, the "Rainbow Sheikh's" $2.3 billion off-road vehicle museum in Abu Dhabi, and the mind-boggling collection of the Sultan of Brunei – 7,000 vehicles worth approximately $5 billion, including 600 Rolls-Royces and 450 Ferraris.
Whether you're fascinated by racing history, rare automobiles, or just wondering what someone does with 7,000 cars, this episode satisfies your automotive curiosity. Join us every Saturday morning from 8-11 am for our live broadcast of the full In Wheel Time Car Show!
