Ian Callum and the perfect Aston Martin Vanquish | Kidd in a Sweet Shop | 4K 

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.

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.

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.

I love Ian Callums dry humour and he is very modest. I would love to see more of him.

The Vanquish Callum update is stunning. A manual in pale blue, with blue tartan interior 🤩

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.

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..

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.

What a wonderful gentleman, so interesting and engaging. Thank you Jodie.

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!

I could spend all day watching Ian Callum interviews.. Another great video .! Many thanks Jodie..xx

Great to hear from Ian and what a lovely Aston - another great video Jodie Thank you!

That GT40 comment warmed my heart!

Ian's period at Aston and JLR produced my favourite models, the XF F Type and any Aston 🙂

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

Another great video from a person who knows what cars are all about for the enthusiast. Thank you for this treat.

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 👍👍

Excellent content as always Jodie. Thanks for another great episode.

Fantastic Aston Martin Vanquish , my dear friend and amazing video indeed . Thank you so much for sharing and have a great time !🎩👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏵️🙏🏻

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.

Wow Jodie, you know everyone that matters in the Automotive world. Loved the vid (and the dress) as always ❤

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

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 !

Brilliant interview as usual. Educational and entertaining. Can’t wait for the next video.

Another brilliant episode, thank you.

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!

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!

Nailed it again Jodie ! Great interview with a great British automotive designer who penned the truly awesome Vanquish. Excellent !

fantastic video again Jodie, and what a talented man !, so good to see such a passion for design, even after so many years ....

Great video. Pure passion in every second. Thank you for the privilege of watching.

Ian is such a wonderful person. Far to talented to be honest. Wonderful as ever Jodie thank you for sharing x

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

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 😎👍🇨🇦

Great video again! What a legend of a man. Inspiration to the motor industry 👍

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.

Superb video again.......always loved Aston's but could never afford one and with all these subtle changes and extras, magnificent.....

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 👍👍

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Cracking content loving these

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.

Lovely fella! Thanks Jodie as ever, most intriguing insight this was!

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 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!

A true work of automotive art

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!

Fantastic Jodie, another fantastic episode.

Such wonderful behind the scenes insight Jodie… Fabulous video. 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!

I love the look of the speed brake/ estate ! X

So cool Jodie, love the rapport you had with Ian….. he is one cool dude, and yes please to that Vanquish Estate…..

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

You're still a stunner Jodie, car gorgeous too. Another great video

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 !

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

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.

thanks Jodie, i loved the white aston. they look amazing cheers for that video

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!

Awesome on so many levels!

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

What a fantastic guy! Well done Jodie spot-on job.😄

What a great item to start my week 👍

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.

❤you Jodie and crew!🇨🇦

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

Love your style ms Kidd 👍🏾

It's absolutely beautiful, your so lucky to get behind the wheel of a beauty

Lovely video Jodie as per usual. Nice and local to myself so I recognise everywhere in the video 😁😁

A brill video Jodie with yet another of your motor industry contacts. Like your dress too. 👍

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.

Both old and current really beautiful

Great video as always Jodie

Awesome awesome as always Jodie.

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.

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

Another great video, very watchable; interesting conversation.

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

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.

👏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!

Jodie, the mod racer! Is Ian great or what, and the tweaks are big improvements for the Vanquish. Thanks so much!

Brilliant interview and video 🚗🚙🚘⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍

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!! 👍👍

Fabulous video, we love IC designs so much we have an F type, one of the most beautiful designs on the road.

That was a lovely conversation.

Had several V12 Jaguars and the V12 is the best engine - great video.

Jodie what a interesting man! You see their work but you never see the human behind them. Awesome quality and content, you have become a master at your trade! As always thank you so much for sharing you make a car person's world so much better. He is such a talent, gentleman in all the right ways! Thanks for the experience it's always so wonderful to see your beautiful face , interesting conversation and your laughter brings joy to one's heart, make it a great evening, jw

You nailed it again, I love your dress..get that whisky in your Pub..Thanks for a fab video 😘🤗🥰

Cool video Jodie, cool car and what a guy!! 😘

Another excellent video Jodie

Vanquish shooting brake look Great, would like one of them.

I do enjoy your show a lot I just saw your episode in Top Gear show .. who would imagine that now you have a car show and Clarkson became a farmer

Timeless design

Excellent as always - Ian M is one of my favourite designers. Any plans to drive any of Gordon Murray's creations?

Hi Jodie what a enjoyable video has always fantastic car thanks to one of the best designers in the world

An interview with Ian Callum! Amazing work Jodie! And definitely would say the F-Type is my favorite work of his. Closely followed by the C-X75.

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 .

Asks the right questions... and finishes many of them too!🤣🤣 Great interview though.
