Show Notes
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.

Car interiors are back — and this time, we’re going properly inside.
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.
This week, the Clangers dive headfirst into the wonderfully strange world of special editions. Not the exotic homologation specials or limited-run supercars, but the everyday hatchbacks, saloons and family runabouts that were given a second lease of life with some stripes, a fancy badge and a tempting finance deal.
Episode 13 of The Clangers Pod dives into the cars that went from overlooked underdogs to fully fledged modern classics.
The Clangers are back for another dive into the automotive graveyard, and there are still plenty of ghosts rattling around. In Part 2 of our dead brands special, we dig up even more forgotten names from the late ‘90s and early 2000s… the ones that fell through the cracks, quietly disappeared, or probably should have known better.
