Hot rods to aircooled 911s car designer Ian Callum's car collection - part 2
Welcome to The [Jonny Smith] Late Brake Show. This is part 2 of a candid chat with Jonny Smith's (aka CarPervert) friend ex Jaguar design boss. Whereas the first episode was more about Ian's life as a designer for Ford, Aston, Jaguar and other car makers, part 2 very much focuses on his eclectic car collection.

What does the guy who helped design the Ford RS200, the Escort RS Cosworth, Aston Martin DB7 and Vanquish actually drive? Quite a mix actually, and nearly always modified. Aside from the Porsche 914, Chevy C10 truck, Alfa Guilia GTV and Cal Look VW Beetle Karmann convertible Ian's car collection is almost never in one location. 

Before he takes Jonny out in his lighty resto-modded 1970s Jaguar XJC Coupe, the pair pore over Ian's Porsche 993 RSR homage, a low mileage Aston Vanquish S, a tuned Triumph TR6 (the classic he drives more than anything else), his long-time owned late 1990s Austin Rover Mini Cooper, and the prototype Callum Design R-Reforged 25 bespoke Aston Vanquish. 

The 1932 Ford 'deuce coupe' hot rod is his born-of-obsession project that he's rebuilt three times in 15 years. This was the car that he took to Jonny's wedding. As a hat tip to his previous employers he fitted the 32 Ford with Jaguar seats and a Ford racing V8 - the latter bought with staff discount!  

During the road drive in his XJC Ian talks more about his designs whilst at Jaguar - like the XK, F-Type, iPace, F-Pace, XF and his first all-new design for them, the XJ. There's also mention of awards from a sweary Prince Philip, Iron Maiden, doing the Mille Miglia with Jay Leno and Brian Johnson from AC/DC's loud car habit. Naturally. 

Stop. It's time for The Late Brake Show.
