This week Bruce explores the motoring history of Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight.

In a new series for 麻豆社 Radio Solent, Bruce Parker taps into the south's rich history.

With the help of experts from across Hampshire Dorset and the Isle of Wight and using 麻豆社 Radio Solent's archive.

In the second programme of the series, Bruce and his guests discuss motoring in the south.

Ralph Montagu talks about the National Motor Museum collection at Beaulieu and Bruce remembers taking part in the London to Brighton veteran car rally.
