TL:DR - What does Lord Grantham drive? The Cars of Downton Abbey‪.‬ BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Podcast

    • Automotive

”He’s nice. He likes cars, and he’s mad about you. I rest my case.” - says Tom Branson to Lady Mary about Henry Talbot. Initially, I figured… meh! - Downton Abbey is going to be some stuffy pre-war British soap drama, it’ll be just OK, I’ll give it an episode or two. But I found myself rather enamored by all aspects of it. The show has its moments of exaggerated drama and bits of upstairs/downstairs… but each episode is packed and feels like a separate movie and not a serial or episodic story. Oh yea, and there’s lot of interesting cars in there too!
