Season 7 Episode 5
Barney was the first of our live interviews at the 2025 Classic Car Show at the NEC.
As Andy's boss, he's known Barney for 18 years, but this is the first time he had interviewed him.
We start things off with a bucket and a gritty sponge, with him helping to clean his Dad's yellow Mk1 Escort Mexico. We stay in that car for drives to the South of France, including knocking the exhaust off on the ferry with some frequency.
There was a teacher at Barney's school with an RS500 Cosworth, and a sixth former with a Beetle.
Naturally, as the CEO of Heritage Parts Centre, we spoke about how Barney got into VWs - it was the Bug Jam coverage on TV, which he saw at school that set the spark inside him.
Elsewhere, there's mention of his Nans interest in British sportscars, and how she almost got a Morgan, but by the time her name came up on the waiting list, she was too old to get in and out of it!
