This Land Rover Defender “Mildred” Is More Than a Car | A Drive with Amy Shore

Meet Mildred: Amy Shore’s battered, beautiful Land Rover Defender — and one of the most important characters in her life.

One of the UK's most respected automotive photographers, Amy shows us how she frames a shot, why she shoots classic cars the way she photographs people, and why her beloved Mildred — sign-written, battle-scarred, and full of stories — is her most personal subject yet.

Amy has laughed in this car, sobbed in this car, moved house in this car, and even credits Mildred with helping bring her and her husband Will together. In this intimate episode of Roadworthy, Amy opens up about photography, classic cars, motherhood, and the strange magic of a vehicle that becomes part of your identity.

From her early days photographing classic Ferraris and Aston Martins to finding freedom behind the wheel, Amy reveals why Mildred isn’t just a machine — she’s part of the family.Roadworthy is about extraordinary people and the cars they drive. Each episode takes viewers on the road with a brilliant driver — whether they’re commuting to work, cruising winding country highways, or heading out for a favorite meal. Behind the wheel, they open up about the roads that shaped them, the vehicles that became part of their identity, and the stories that prove every great drive is worth telling.
