Welcome to Under the Bonnet with Dino | Episode 1
Welcome to the Journey
Welcome to the very first episode of Under the Bonnet with Dino, a podcast created for everyone who loves cars, whether you own a cherished classic, a modern performance car, a family vehicle or simply enjoy hearing the stories behind the machines.
I’m Dino, founder of Classic Car Lab in Yorkshire. For more than 40 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to spend my life working with extraordinary vehicles and remarkable people. From servicing everyday cars to restoring iconic classics and maintaining some of the world’s most desirable collector cars, every day has brought a new challenge and another story worth telling.
This podcast has been created to share those stories.
More Than Just Cars
Under the Bonnet with Dino isn’t about reading specifications or reviewing the latest models. Instead, it’s about the real world of motoring.
We’ll explore what it’s really like to restore a classic car, buy wisely, avoid expensive mistakes, maintain cherished vehicles and understand why some cars become investments while others quietly disappear from the market.
Along the way I’ll share lessons learned from thousands of hours in the workshop, memorable road trips, unusual customer requests, restoration challenges and the fascinating people I’ve met throughout my career.
What You Can Expect
Future episodes will cover a wide range of subjects, including:
- Classic car restoration and preservation
- Buying guides and investment advice
- Aston Martin, Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari and other iconic marques
- Modern classics and future collectibles
- Workshop stories and behind-the-scenes insights
- Vehicle maintenance and ownership tips
- Road trips and memorable driving experiences
- Interviews and conversations from across the motoring world
Whether you’re an experienced collector or someone simply looking after the family car, I hope every episode gives you something interesting to learn, enjoy or think about.
