This week on Clangers, Mike, Tom and Craig dive into the wonderful world of the unexceptional – those cars from the late 1990s and early 2000s that sit somewhere between modern classic and banger.
Craig has bought another car, and surprisingly, it’s actually desirable. We also tackle a listener question inspired by the Festival of the Unexceptional: when does a well-preserved old banger become a Clanger?
Along the way, we discuss the cars that enthusiasts adore despite their distinctly unexceptional reputations, including the Mercedes W210 and Vaneo, SsangYongs, Hyundai Amica, Renault Vel Satis, Honda Logo, Chrysler Neon, CityRover, Kia Shuma and Kia Sedona.
Plus, Mike faces another round of “What IS Mike On About?”, involving an old Men & Motors press release, a mysterious mini-MPV and some familiar names from the world of motoring journalism.
And, of course, there’s Craig’s latest purchase and plenty of arguing about what deserves a Clanger rosette.
