The Retro Rides Podcast Episode 4: Adelaide Motorsport Festival, Dick Johnson, and a Major Merc Sale

On the latest instalment of The Retro Rides Podcast, Cam and Rich are taking a look at some big recent stories, including Triple Eight Race Engineering’s shift from GM to Ford and the €51 million sale of a 1954 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Stromlinienwagen in Germany.

Of course, there’s plenty of local auction news as well, along with a reflection on some of the recent feature content on the Retro Rides website including the 50th anniversary of BMW’s ‘Ultimate Driving Machine’ slogan and Michael Stahl’s reflection on his high-mileage Porsche 911.

We can also confirm we’ll be in attendance at this year’s Adelaide Motorsport Festival, with Cam and Rich offering a preview on what it should have on offer on March 8-9.

You can watch the full podcast on YouTube below. It’s also now available to listen to on Spotify and iHeart.
