This week, we go all the way back to 1997 for an episode of Channel 4 documentary series Cutting Edge which examined the seedy underbelly of the second-hand car trade nearly 30 years ago.Along the way, we uncover all about the twin menaces of cut-and-shut cars and clocking, find out why even buying a brand-new car from an authorised dealer doesn't mean you're safe, and meet a man who the phrase "rogue trader" was seemingly invented for.Visit our website: https://www.babyforcessale.comEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
It's Ford or fraud on this week's episode, with a Honda S2000 in disguise as a MKII Escort Group 5 touring car and an actual Taurus NASCAR which has somehow made its way over to the UK after ruining the sport forever.We also discuss the golden era of motorsport tobacco sponsorship, find out about the infamous Kevin Lepage, and give our reaction to F1 The Movie gaining two - count them, two! - Oscar nominations.Visit our website: https://www.babyforcessale.comEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
On this week's episode, Facebook Marketplace serves up a Mazda RX-8 Nemesis which isn't quite the bargain it might first appear and a surprisingly expensive Lada 1300 SL.Plus, some Ridge Racer Type 4 nostalgia.Visit our website: https://www.babyforcessale.comEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
It's a mix of the silly and the sensible on this week's podcast, where you can live out your Steve McQueen fantasies with a VW Manta Ray beach buggy or be the more discerning motorist with the notoriously unprounounceable Mazda Xedos 6.Plus, our old friend Noel Edmonds makes an appearance along with Mr Blobby and we look at the friendly face of communist motoring.Visit our website: https://www.babyforcessale.comEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
This week, the weird world of second-hand cars on Facebook Marketplace brings us the hideous yet surprisingly popular Chrysler PT Cruiser and an incredibly rare Alfa Romeo 33 Sportwagon which has seen better days.Plus, Nissan Primera propaganda with Tiff Needell!Visit our website: https://www.babyforcessale.comEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
It's back to the weird world of second-hand cars on Facebook Marketplace this week, with a Fiat Multipla which has been given a dubious paint-job and a Proton Jumbuck which thinks its a Mitusbishi Evo I.Plus, the punk music and motoring crossover we've been waiting for!Visit our website: https://www.babyforcessale.comEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
Trapped in the yawning chasm between Christmas and New Year, we've decided to ditch the bizarre world of second-hand cars on Facebook Marketplace to watch F1 The Movie instead. You know, six months after it was first out.Along the way, we discuss the surprising parallels between this and Driven (see Ep. 4), an eyebrow-raising amount of rampant cheating, and whether Sonny Hayes was even eligible for an FIA Super Licence.Podcast and social media links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
Christmas week brings us two Fords in the form of an XR3i Cabriolet restoration project where life has got in the way and an incredibly rare Mondeo SI Citrine, which turns out to be far more interesting than we ever expected.Plus, a list of Ford Scorpio insults and managing to get through almost the entire podcast without mentioning Christmas.Podcast and social links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
This week, we look at a Fiat Barchetta which has arrived in the UK from Italy via Japan and seemingly not moved since it got here, along with the amusingly bonkers Daihatsu YRV Turbo 130.Plus, the Duckhams Sierra Cosworth competition mystery deepens and some Street Fighter Lexus news.Social and podcast links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
This week, Facebook Marketplace pitches us into the world of ridiculously overpowered executive saloons with a Ford Scorpio Cosworth and a Citroen CX Turbo.Drag coefficients! 1980s dictators! Grace Jones! All this plus a painting spotted in a charity shop which proves once and for all a car can actually be art.Podcast and social media links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
It's something of a TV special this week as Facebook Marketplace serves up a Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am modified to look like KITT out of off of KnightRider and a Reliant Rialto in the style of Del Boy's three-wheeler.Plus, a ludicrously convoluted competition Duckhams ran in 1991 to win a Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4.Social media links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
It's something of a TVR special this week following the news Blackpool's iconic automotive brand is set to finally return to the roads.We look at a Tuscan which has apparently been looked after better than most children and a Cerbera which it's claimed once belonged to Britain's foremost retailer of marital aids, plus pay tribute to the maverick genius of Peter Wheeler.Podcast and social media links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
This week, we go back to a time when everything was very angular as Facebook Marketplace serves up a couple of British sports coupes in the Triumph TR7 and the Ginetta G26.Plus, learn to speak like a second-hand car salesman with Jason Dawe.Podcast and social media links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessale@gmail.com
This week, Marc and Ryan have trawled Facebook Marketplace and somehow ended up with examples of the same car. Namely, a pair of Vauxhall Calibra V6 2.5Ls.Plus, a tribute to Quentin Wilson.Podcast and social links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
On this week's episode, we argue about the merits of a Vauxhall VX220 which has been in an accident, ponder the point of what is widely considered one of the worst cars of all time, and find out about the small part the girl from A-Ha's 'Take On Me' video played in British automotive history.Podcast and social media links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
This week, the discovery of a 21-year-old Top Gear Magazine supplement leads us down the rabbit hole of the Volkswagen Polo Harlequin, where we find other VWs which have been been modified with a similar design.This leaves us with two questions: 1) Why? And 2) no seriously, why?Podcast and social media links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
This week, we take a trip back in time to 1984 and Central Television's coverage of that year's British International Motorshow at the NEC, and somehow spend nearly 40 minutes talking about a 32-minute video we found on YouTube.Believe us when we say there is A LOT to unpack here.Podcast and social media links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
This week, a Honda Prelude with some funky hydraulics and a Toyota Celica with an unusual bonnet modification. Both of which have been completely and utterly ruined.We promise these are the last Japanese cars for a while.Podcast and social links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
On this week's episode, we look at a Toyota MR2 and a Mazda MX5 which have been modified to look like a Ferrari F355 and a 250 GTO, for some unfathomable reason.Along the way, we find out why Ryan sold his MKII MR2, learn how F355s kept catching fire, and wonder why you'd swap any of these for a Jeep Wrangler.Podcast and social links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
It's an actual case of baby forces sale on this week's episode with a Daihatsu Copen plus a rare example of what was once the cheapest car on sale in Britain, the Perodua Nippa AKA the Perodua Kancil.We also get to experience the greatest car advert ever made and speculate about how a small-time Burton Latimer salesman managed to become the official dealer for a Malaysian automotive titan.Podcast and social links: https://linktr.ee/babyforcessaleEmail us: babyforcessalepodcast@gmail.com
