Bonus: Death rays and hapless F1 entries. Amazing archive stories with Kris Culmer

In this bonus episode of the Autocar podcast, Matt Prior is joined by Kris Culmer, Autocar's self-appointed archive nerd (and official chief sub-editor).


Kris writes our 'lost in the Archives...' feature every week and loves interesting stories. We bring you some top ones: the Skoda so bad that government asked it to be redesigned. The 'pleasure spiral' meant to replace the Eiffel Tower. The man who claimed to have invented an invisible death ray. The hapless Japanese F1 team. Plus much more besides.


It's a lot of fun, and we'll do it again. And if you'd like access to the 131-year Autocar archive, including our special offer for listeners which includes six issues for just £6, click here.
