Colin Crabbe was the kind of man who could spot a priceless vintage car under a pile of chicken wire in Paraguay — and somehow drive it home. A flamboyant racing driver, Formula One team owner, and classic car hunter with a taste for adventure (and a knack for trouble), Colin lived life in the fast lane — sometimes literally. From smuggling D-type Jaguars out of Cuba to crashing out of races in style, his stories were as wild as you could imagine.
I was lucky enough to interview Colin back in 2022, right here in our little village in Lincolnshire. With his passing earlier this year, it felt only right to bring that conversation back — this time as one extended episode. It’s funny, chaotic, moving, and full of Colin’s unmistakable charm. He’ll be sorely missed by his family, our community, and classic car lovers around the world. But what a ride he had.
Colin Crabbe, motor-racing driver and entrepreneur. April 14, 1942 - March 7, 2025.
