The man that saved Jaguar from dullness and the scrap heap, a real design master! A great video as normal, can’t wait for the next one.
Indeed! Thanks Simon xx
The fact your so knowledgeable, mean's you ask all the right questions and in return get the best interviews, love your channel Jodie, should have been a part of the new top gear, i reckon you and J-Kay would have crushed it with Chris Harris, now just a comedy show with super cars.
Haha thanks John xx
Just so "for real" - I love your natural interaction(s) with people, it's so refreshing. Once again, it was like riding along in the car and touring the facility with you and your guest. And that Aston is gorgeous; just so subtle in its beauty. And you look great in your light and breezy, free-flowing, colorful/vibrant dress - it's just fits perfectly on your personality.
Mr. Callum is a true designer, no idea he works across a spectrum of mediums - he truly managed to fulfill his childhood dream of merging art and design. Another great show. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the support Edwin. Agreed - what a lovely chap! Xx
I love Ian Callums dry humour and he is very modest. I would love to see more of him.
I've got so much time for Ian :) x
The Vanquish Callum update is stunning. A manual in pale blue, with blue tartan interior 🤩
Great to hear from Ian and what a lovely Aston - another great video Jodie Thank you!
What a brilliant video, Ian is a genius and such a nice guy. Love the Vanquish, great memories of going to the original Design Museum by Tower Bridge for the exhibition when it launched, the cutaways of the structure were stunning too
That V12 sounds wonderful. You don't even have to go full chat for it to put a smile on my face!😁
I really enjoyed hearing Ian's insight on his career, especially as the designer of so many cars I really appreciate the aesthetics of.
Haha true! Pleased to hear it xx
I can't believe Sir Ian Callum has set up shop in my home town Warwick...
What a true icon to have, as a business of commerce..
Design royalty..
Couldn't agree more!
I could spend all day watching Ian Callum interviews..
Another great video .!
Many thanks Jodie..xx
Haha glad you enjoyed it Mark. Fascinating bloke Xx
Excellent content as always Jodie. Thanks for another great episode.
Thank you Rory ❤️
The sound of that V12, OMG! Great interview as always, Jodie. You truly do get the best from them because you are naturally at ease and that puts them at ease too.
Thank you! x
What a drop dead gorgeous little orange/red beasty.
I keep on returning to it, just about every angle is perfect.
So much eye for detail!
Agreed Jan! Xx
fantastic video again Jodie, and what a talented man !, so good to see such a passion for design, even after so many years ....
Couldn't agree more! xx
Ian is such a wonderful person. Far to talented to be honest. Wonderful as ever Jodie thank you for sharing x
Haha right?! Xx
Another brilliant episode, thank you.
Thanks Mike xx
What a wonderful gentleman, so interesting and engaging. Thank you Jodie.
Another great video Jodie, always a joy to watch especially with such design icon, I can't believe how laid back he is. Your videos capture everything that you'd want to ask him if you were lucky enough to meet him. Thank you !
Thanks so much! xx
Brilliant interview as usual. Educational and entertaining.
Can’t wait for the next video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Lots more great stuff on the way!
Another fabulous Sweet Shop episode, Jodie. Keep 'em coming. Have to say, at 22:28 I love that you acknowledge "wives" using alloys as kerbside parking alignment devices! That did make me (and my wife actually) laugh out loud!
😂😂😂
Great video. Pure passion in every second. Thank you for the privilege of watching.
Glad you enjoyed it Michael xx
A few years ago I was at a car show and I saw a few Aston Martin vanquish's parked up and I was amazed by the beauty of the overall design, you see the on film but seeing one in the flesh,Wow!
So true! Hard to capture on camera xx
Lovely colour and tasteful upgrades without going mad and spoiling the lines,very humble man Ian could listen to him talk all day long great video as always 👍👍
Agreed! Xx
Love this. Thanks, Jodie. I think I will have to take my little piece of Callum design (f-type) for a spin before the sun disappears. I may have to look into these chairs as well! Much love.
Please do! Haha enjoy xx
Nailed it again Jodie !
Great interview with a great British automotive designer who penned the truly awesome Vanquish.
Excellent !
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Cracking content loving these
Thanks Steve xx
Top stuff again, love the manual & the little details, polishing a rough diamond. I drew a breath when you both put the bags on the roof though ! Super cool the hemp composite on the scooter.
Glad you enjoyed x
Another great video from a person who knows what cars are all about for the enthusiast. Thank you for this treat.
🥰🥰
Fantastic Aston Martin Vanquish , my dear friend and amazing video indeed . Thank you so much for sharing and have a great time !🎩👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏵️🙏🏻
Thanks, you too! xx
Love your style ms Kidd 👍🏾
Thanks Michael xx
Great Video, nice to hear from the original designer. What I love about this vanquish is the long distance from the A-pillar to the center of the front wheel which gives that long hood stance.
Me too! Xx
My inspiration was seeing two silver XK120s stopped in the middle of our little village in the wilds of West Wales when I was about five. Turns out they were being driven by Stirling Moss and Sheila Van Dam. Thirty odd years later I joined Jaguar, and ten years later joined Aston Martin. Was part of the team that developed and built the Vanquish under the leadership of Bob Dover at Newport Pagnell. Then on to Gaydon for the DB9 and V8 Vantage all penned by you know who. A truly great designer. I loved the original Vanquish and absolutely adore the Calum redesign. I've had a bit of a dream time really I suppose and as the man said worked with some awsome people. People have no idea how complex and interesting the automotive industry is. Thank you to you both for making it so so informal and interesting. No ego no bullshite.
Amazing!!! 👏🏼 xx
I love the look of the speed brake/ estate ! X
Me too Emily xx
Great video again! What a legend of a man. Inspiration to the motor industry 👍
Indeed! Thanks Andy xx
Superb video again.......always loved Aston's but could never afford one and with all these subtle changes and extras, magnificent.....
Me too! Xx
What a great item to start my week 👍
Glad you enjoyed xx
Wow Jodie, you know everyone that matters in the Automotive world. Loved the vid (and the dress) as always ❤
Thanks so much Amanda Xx
Another brilliant video, Ian is a genius of designer but such a charming and knowledgeable man I could listen to the both of you talk for hours!!! I bet that the midlands has never been compared to Modena before! Impressive stuff 👍👍
Totally with you on that 👏🏼 thanks xx
Ian's period at Aston and JLR produced my favourite models, the XF F Type and any Aston 🙂
Fantastic Jodie, another fantastic episode.
Thanks Michael xx
Such wonderful behind the scenes insight Jodie… Fabulous video. x
Thank you Scott xx
Beautiful Cars, I have always been and Aston fan and it was good to see Ian and hear his story. Another great interview Jodie! Thanks and have a good new week 😎👍🇨🇦
Me too, thank you xx
Such a wonderful upload.....Gotta love the AM...Great channel. Mine is all about me, a black cat, and the Aston is nearly as gorgeous
Thanks so much! Haha 🐈⬛ xx
Lovely fella! Thanks Jodie as ever, most intriguing insight this was!
Thanks Mike, loved filming it xx
Hi Jodie
Good video as per usual , such an unassuming guy and you always get the best out of these guys during your interviews, a natural affection for each other and no wonder all the guys in the office turned when you told Ian you loved him , I’m positive they were all jealous of him and who could blame them
Regards Davy 🇹🇭 Xxx
Thank you so much for the support Davy xx
Awesome on so many levels!
Agreed 💙
So cool Jodie, love the rapport you had with Ian….. he is one cool dude, and yes please to that Vanquish Estate…..
He sure is Mark xx
thanks Jodie, i loved the white aston. they look amazing cheers for that video
The white Vanquish was stunning! x
Great episode!! I really enjoy the in car interviews ... I could actually hear you this week
My ears were ringing after the shows with the PORSCHE 962. James The Chef´s MARK#1 Escort was so loud it was funny 😀 Ta-ra For Now!
Lol! Xx
It's absolutely beautiful, your so lucky to get behind the wheel of a beauty
I am Richard xx
Brilliant! I first saw the Callum Vanquish right opposite the original at the London Concours a few years back. I recall on one of the London Classic Car Shows there was a large display of the several cars he designed.
Nice! Special car Xx
You're still a stunner Jodie, car gorgeous too. Another great video
Thanks so much 😊 xx
Another great interview that brings out what a truly nice man he is despite being an enormous talent. I’m lucky enough to have met him in a previous company and he’s really that approachable, knowledgeable and a proper petrolhead.
Fab isn’t he! Xx
What a fantastic guy! Well done Jodie spot-on job.😄
Indeed! Thanks Malcolm Xx
What a brilliant video and interview! Callum is a genius in design and was nice to see the man behind the legend. I was lucky to have had a 2017 Jaguar F Type and now lucky enough to have a 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish (2nd gen) though not Callum designed. Much respect to what he has done for the auto industry. Thanks for putting together such a personal interview!
Nice!! Thanks xx
He comes over as a really nice bloke, Jodie you defo get best out people in interviews and you let people talk without interrupting them and you always come out with sensible questions you have definitely mastered art of conversation as well great video never a bad one
Thanks so much Trevor 💙
Great video as always Jodie
Thank you Mike Xx
That metallic red is absolutely amazing! I laughed out loud when Ian said "Fiesta"! I'm on my second Fiesta, an ST.
Yes, it must be strange being a passenger on that side of the car with traffic coming towards you and no steering wheel! 😬🤣 A delightful interview as usual!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video! x
Jodie, I love cars, BUT I love that your channel makes me love the people too. You have a great talent in bringing people to the front and that's why I think this channel is special.
'Come for the cars, stay for the people' :) x
Love guys like Ian Callum, great British design and engineering, really liked the detail on the Vanquish. I wonder if we will ever see the triple wing, on a Callum car.
He’s fab! Xx
Lovely video Jodie as per usual. Nice and local to myself so I recognise everywhere in the video 😁😁
Ahh nice! Thanks xx
Another great video, very watchable; interesting conversation.
Glad you enjoyed it Steven xx
A brill video Jodie with yet another of your motor industry contacts. Like your dress too. 👍
Haha thanks Derek xx
I read about this Vanquish & it was how Ian wanted it....you can't argue with a designer of his calibre. Lottery win & i'm having one in Bentley dark Emerald with that off white interior
You sure can’t! Xx
That GT40 comment warmed my heart!
glad to hear xx
A true work of automotive art
Amazing just fantastic yet again another amazing episode! Beautiful car sounds amazing you looked very at home in it hopefully he might give you one to take home 🤞looking amazing as always! Can’t wait for the next episode! By far the best motoring content on you tube I feel
Haha I wish! Thanks Luke ❤️
@@KiddinaSweetShop love it! Love you 👍🙌👸🏼♥️
Seriously, can car design come up with something more beautiful than this car. I doubt it. It must be as close to perfection as one can get. Thank you for sharing the experience Jodie. Love your work.
So gorgeous! Glad you enjoyed Tim xx
Awesome awesome as always Jodie.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed x
I’m lucky enough to own the “killer” F type V8 R mentioned at 9:20. It’s wonderful to open the garage door an see such an iconic (and fearsome) Callum design.
Cool! Xx
Both old and current really beautiful
Agreed Patrick xx
Brilliant interview and video 🚗🚙🚘⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍
Thanks Jimmy Xx
That Vanquish was at Goodwood a couple of years ago.
It was great to see the design finally get the engineering it deserved.
I was very inquisitive and the guys were very happy to chat about it.
Great chit chat...as always
Gorgeous isn’t it! Thanks xx
Indeed. It's now a car you can completely adore and that will keep it alive and loved.
👏gt40 was 6k I think. What a lovely fella! Great to hear a shout out for regular Fords ! I have 58 plate fiesta. It’s still brilliant. 1.2 rorty little engine. 47 mpg, perfect size for Uk roads. The steering and chassis/damping is ace.GT40🤣🤣Jodie!
It sure is! LOL xx
Ohh You are a Lucky Girl.... You get to meet the most amazing People, and Drive some of the most Fantastic Cars....... Thank you for sharing your adventures with us..... Bless you Darling.... :-)) xxxx
I sure am hun xx
It’s a bit of a dog’s dinner, who was chief engineer. 😂😂😂😂 what I call humorous on a new level, 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That metallic red is probably the best colour I've seen on a Vanquish and the updates Sir Ian (aka God) has done are just right. They're well considered and add to its beauty, and it looks so much better out on the road too. It just sits right. Talking of roads, about halfway through I realised where you were driving. Apart from that area having some quite decent roads, I have a couple of my older cars stored very close by - and I really should go over and take them out for a spin before the weather turns! Thanks for yet another excellent video Jodie!
Gorgeous aren’t they! You should xx
Really nice colour on that car.
Cool video Jodie, cool car and what a guy!! 😘
Indeed! Thanks Raymond xx
Fabulous video, we love IC designs so much we have an F type, one of the most beautiful designs on the road.
Yes indeed!
Vanquish shooting brake look Great, would like one of them.
Epic right xx
That was a lovely conversation.
Thank you 😊
How lucky are you to be Driving these beautiful cars. Keep these videos coming Jodie so that we can at least experience the cars with you. Keep safe
Very Robert! Xx
Jodie, the mod racer! Is Ian great or what, and the tweaks are big improvements for the Vanquish. Thanks so much!
That Vanquish is one of the best designs in 90's car history in my opinion . I had a short moment in one some years ago and was blown away by it . Only thing ... the build quality of the interior was not brilliant ... and the interior design a bit out of date , "but" what a fantastic car and a gorgeous soundmachine .Thanks for your video !
I agree! Ian has done a wonderful job of modernising it though xx
Another fine video! I love the personal warmth between you both. A Jaguar X-type estate is a possible future purchase and I'll always think of Ian now.
Thanks so much xx
@@KiddinaSweetShop I'm pleased to say that I've acquired a Jaguar X-Type Sovereign estate this week and I'm very pleased with it. Now I'll enjoy watching the video again.
❤you Jodie and crew!🇨🇦
Jodie Kidd is the best car enthusiast to ever produce media. Unique cars and interviewees. Enjoyable casual chats. Pleasantly paced editing. She is the coolest Kidd in the playground and never seems fake or contrived.
Had several V12 Jaguars and the V12 is the best engine - great video.
So cool! Xx
Certainly sounds the business once on the move! Ian Callum in his relaxed manner, reminds me of Tom Karen from Ogle Design , he who designed the Reliant Scimitars , Yes the Reliant Robin too ( forgive me, I’m not making a comparison in cars here) , but it seems these guys who are very vocational in their work , doing something in the way of art form are very relaxing in their way are addressing their ideals to others . What a lovely way to be! Tom of course designed all sorts from Seiko watches and white goods for the kitchen , not just cars, just like Ian . Lovely interesting video again, Jodie
Such a wonderful chap. Glad you enjoyed Martin xx
Another excellent video Jodie
Thanks Stephen xx
The guy with the family Mercedes 300 SL who I thought was cool and then this guy, super cool so down to earth it’s a pleasure to see these guys in the cut throat greedy world we seem to live in and gives hope there really are some good honest decent folk out there creating awesome stuff!!
I do love your videos!! 👍👍
Glad you’re enjoying the channel Andrew ❤️
You nailed it again, I love your dress..get that whisky in your Pub..Thanks for a fab video 😘🤗🥰
Thanks so much 😊
@@KiddinaSweetShop You are so very welcome 😘🥰
Excellent as always - Ian M is one of my favourite designers. Any plans to drive any of Gordon Murray's creations?
Maybe nice to get him on the channel soon! Xx
Hi Jodie. It's easy to see why you love lan , you just get on like old friends/ mates . I sent a drawing to David Brown in the early 1960's as a 10 year old and he returned a lovely letter that l think l have tucked away somewhere . My boss had a DB7 Vantage that he let me drive . It was basically the XJ6 floor pan with the Ford V12 mated to a manual gearbox. Must say it was rather agricultural to drive but lovely to look at. I should have persued my passion for car design but my Grammer School did not encourage it . Thankyou Jodie and thankyou lan .
Ahhh amazing! Xx
Really enjoyed this thanks! I wonder if mr Callum would take my transit as a deposit? I can throw in a cement mixer,three wheelbarrows and a good selection of building tools!
Timeless design
Gorgeous right? Xx
Hi Jodie what a enjoyable video has always fantastic car thanks to one of the best designers in the world
Thanks Tony, agreed xx
I first saw the original AM Vanquish at the London Docklands motor show … it was parked in the atrium of the tower building (shared with a Zonda!!) … it was not advertised as being present and took my breath away … I sat and admired that car from several angles. The refinement brought in design and performance are amazing. Sadly, whilst one ‘might’ afford to buy a stock car, the bespoke refurbishment costs make this unobtainable …
Congratulations
💙
Compared to even the current breed of Astons its the interior refresh that really stands out on this model … all the panel alignment, stitch lines are just beautiful … take a look at the DBS for examples of how not to align interior trim … even the luggage is lovely (apart from the dragging across the roof 😢)
So good Paul!!
