Car interiors are back — and this time, we’re going properly inside.

After last week’s episode was cut short by Craig having somewhere to be, Mike, Tom and Craig return to the subject of clever, curious and catastrophically bad car cabins from the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Expect curry hooks, Mercedes seat-belt butlers, Airscarves, Skoda umbrellas, built-in Volvo child seats, pop-off stereos, questionable green-and-blue trim combinations and the Range Rover whose seats turned blue. There’s also the car interior that helped send its maker into bankruptcy, plus a TVR-assisted jump-start in a field during the tennis.

As ever, the three former road testers and serial crap-car collectors begin by finding out what Craig has bought or sold this week—before introducing a new(ish) game: What IS Craig On About?

This week on the Clangers Pod, Mike Askew, Tom Barnard and Craig Cheetham turn their attention to the interiors of some of their favourite Clangers – celebrating the clever, the quirky and the downright questionable cabins of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

We discover how Porsche helped engineer a minicabber’s favourite, which car came with an optional shower, why one particular brand smells of fish, and whether big windscreens have become a thing of the past. There’s also questionable upholstery, peeling soft-touch plastics, cars with wildly different interiors depending on where they were built – and some truly spectacular colour combinations.

Plus, Craig reveals what he’s bought or sold, Tom has another quiz, and we play What IS Mike On About?

If you love the cars that sit somewhere between classic and banger, this one’s for you.

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.
