“A Grand Tour through the golden age of motoring”
With echoes of the golden age of motoring – an era before budget airlines and endless grey motorways – Kevin sets out to learn about each head-turning car through the country of its origin, and about the heritage, history and unique culture of the countries through the cars. In each episode, Kevin is handed the keys to an iconic classic vehicle – each one a feat of timeless engineering and aesthetic excellence – to explore a different region with direct links to the model.
Kevin revels in the Peak District’s heart-racing driving roads in a classic Jaguar Mk2, marvels at the power of its straight six engine, and explores the history of its birthplace in Coventry.
Kevin explores Germany’s Black Forest in a 1960s Mercedes SL. At the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, he gets behind the wheel of a replica of the first car ever built. The spirit of innovation continues at the Weissenhof Estate, where he discovers a pioneering house by Le Corbusier. In Bad Wildbad, he witnesses a test flight of an electric, multi-rotor aircraft designed to make air travel more sustainable and affordable. He also visits a quirky car church and uncovers the secret behind the cuckoo clock’s distinctive call.
