Garage 41 S01E11 - Episode 11

Garage 41 is filmed at Dutton Garage in Richmond Victoria and it never ceases to amaze us what cars you find there.  This week Morley discovers an immaculate 1965 Sunbeam Tiger, which has direct links to two icons – racer and renowned car builder, Carroll Shelby and super sleuth Maxwell Smart!

Many motor vehicle manufacturers use Tarmac Rallying to showcase their cars, and recently none more so that Lotus. Their Elise and (of late), the Exige have proven to be ideal competition cars, with Paul Stokell winning the 2019 Targa Tasmania in an Exige. This week Mark O'Connor gives an insight into why this form of racing is good for the Lotus brand.

Rob Herrod from Herrod Performance Vehicles is this week's Famous Face for Famous Insurance. Starting out by "hotting up" Ford utes in the outskirts of Melbourne, he's grown his business to now being one of the few in the world to be building cars in conjunction with Ford – a bit like Carroll Shelby, and according to the boys, his supercharged R-Spec Mustang is an absolute winner.

Interest in the competitive hot hatch market has never been greater, particularly now that European brands like BMW and Mercedes are really lifting the bar. Carsales' Feann Torr compares the performance of two of the top hatches, the BMW M135i and the Mercedes A35… with an interesting result!

Motorcycle clubs are a great way of meeting like-minded people, as well as giving riders the opportunity to ride as a group to some very special places. This week Glenn catches up with the Iron Indian Riders Association on a ride that saw old and new Indian bikes make their way through central Victoria.
