About this episode

Cropley interviews Paul Armstrong, the new CEO of the British Motor Museum, discussing his insights and future plans for the museum.

For this week's bonus pod, Cropley chats with the new CEO of the British Motor Museum, Peter Armstrong, about his first impressions of the 400-strong collection of British-built cars situated right next to the Jaguar factory at Gaydon.  Armstrong explains what it means to be a museum specialist rather than a car nut though he reckons he's learning more if British auto history all the time. He also lays out some of his plans to make the place bigger, better, more fun and more financially stable as time goes by.
