Click here to talk to us…..we’d love to hear from you!
The secret history of rock stars and their cars is wilder than the myths.
From Tommy Steele's one-off Excalibur to Led Zeppelin's Schuler Range Rover and Ginger Baker's pair of Jensen FF’s, Kieron, the force behind Rockstars Cars, reveals how music legends really drove, bought, and lived with the machines that defined an era.
What starts as a nostalgic chat quickly turns into a brilliant tour through celebrity provenance, rare classics, and the weird realities of ownership before the internet. You'll hear how a Fiat Samantha was kept alive with scrapyard parts and an automatic washing machine switch, why a luxury Range Rover was once dismissed by British Leyland as a daft idea, and how musicians from the 60s and 70s used cars as symbols of status, freedom, and survival.
You'll discover:
- How Rockstars Cars traces provenance through ledgers, invoices, and vanished management-company records
- The surprising difference between a car that's "believed to be" famous and one that can actually be proved
- Why celebrity cars from the 50s, 60s, and 70s can still matter, even when they don't always add massive value
Kieron chats about his own collection, including an E-type, a Porsche 993, a Renault 4 Plein Air art car, 3 Interceptors, his ‘shed of shame’ and the long, expensive journey of resurrecting cars that deserve to be rescued.
