EP105: Lexus LC; Overfinch Range Rovers; the ultimate driving game?
The Lexus LC500 might be one of the most underrated cars in recent times. Cormac delves into what makes this coupe so special. Future classic? You better believe it. Is a normal Range Rover not special enough for you? Maybe you need a Holland & Holland. Maybe you need a bespoke one-of-one? Cormac explains before Dave drops a bomb on what the best driving game might be.

To mark the 99th episode of the 50to70 podcast, Dave and Cormac look back on some of the cars that made their debut in 1999. It seems like such a long time ago now, pre-millennium. There was no iPhone, Facebook was still five years away and electric cars were little more than experimental vehicles. We're joined by Nathan English to look back through some of the hits, and some of the misses.

Doppio 2: Lamborghini Estoque
The Lamborghini Estoque was a concept that sadly never made it to production. However, it warrants further examination because upon reflection it was a car that design-wise was far ahead of its time. Looking at it today, the Estoque could still turn heads, yet this four-door, front-engined Lambo predates the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide.

On this week's podcast, Cormac lifts the lid on the Vixen 21, a BMW-powered motorhome from the late 1980s penned by DeLorean co-creator Bill Collins. The innovative design seemed quite futuristic at the time, but, like many such things, it was ultimately a sales failure.
And ahead of the new F1 season kicking off, Dave does his best to explain what’s new, who’s driving what and how different things will be for 2026.

...EP79: RIP Twingo; Citroen BX 4TC; Peugeot 205 T16; Volvo C30 Electric!
This week’s 50to70 podcast focuses on the obscure - no surprises there. Dave has been behind the wheel of a rather unusual Volvo for a start, the C30 Electric, which was part of a trial fleet of around 250 cars used by employees and select customers. Featuring an innovative heating system, the C30 Electric remains a very interesting car 15 years later.
Sticking with the unusual, Cormac lifts the lid on the Citroen BX 4TC, a short-lived and largely unsuccessful entry into the Group B World Rally Championship during the 1980s. Although 200 were produced to satisfy homologation requirements, on...
EP78: Volkswagen Golf Rallye; Bicester Scramble
The Volkswagen Golf Rallye is a homologation which was based on the Mk2 generation. While the GTI is the better-known performance Golf, the Rallye was a four-wheel-drive special that, in many ways, was the forerunner of the modern-day Golf R. Cormac takes us on a deep dive of a very special one-owner example he's been driving.
We also get slightly excited about the Bicester Scramble that takes place this week. Maybe we'll see you there?
