Hello and welcome to Overdrive a program that looks at cars and transport from a variety of angles.

Feedback

We put a post up on social media about a great Australian car: the 1964 EH Holden and we received some great comments from the public

It also raised the issue of unusual optional extras. The EH had options such as:

  • Plastic seat covers
  • 4 piece luggage set that is made to fit neatly into the boot
  • Rear parcel shelf
  • Seat belts
  • Hand rail on the back of the front seat
  • An extra inside door pull-to handles

Interview

We then have an interview with motoring journalist Paul Murrell on two subjects:

  • The cars he had 40 years ago
  • The Toyota MR2 that was on the stage for Australia’s Eurovision competitor
