We're joined by Adrian Brannan, an automotive photographer from Glasgow.
He learnt his craft following his father around (who was a wedding photographer) and taking photos of the family cars, and anything interesting he saw on the street.
His Dad learnt to drive late, so Adrian remembers him learning, and also his first car... an orange Chrysler Horizon. It was an early one, and later re-badged as a Talbot. It was replaced by a yellow Mk3 Ford Escort, which wasn't much better... in fact Adrian recalls it letting in water when it rained!
Their Ford Sierra Sapphire was a huge step up in build quality and comfort, and whilst it wasn't a range topper (with rear armrest) it put the others to shame, and proved to be the perfect muse for Adrian to practice his photography on.
Today, Adrian is reliving these mediocre motoring experiences himself, as he's tracked down one of only a few exisiting Chrysler Horizons, in orange... He's added a little twist, lowering it on banded steel wheels.
He's also sourced a yellow Mk3 Escort 5 door, as per his childhood chariot, and rounded the whole thing off with a Sierra Sapphire... Cosworth (well its almost the same!) In fact Adrian is into double digits with his 80s, 90s and early noughties car collection.. and his daily driver is a Ford Orion he won in a retro car raffle!
We hope you enjoy this episode.
