Episode Synopsis

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

I’m David Brown

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