Thanks Simon, great shout out for the TR7, I agree and owned a few in the day, they rusted just like all cars of that time. I still own a TR7 drop head, it's 42 years old and owned it since 2007, was zeebarted from new which has saved the car, plus being dry stored all these years. Currently just passed 78K! It's my analogue car and has only 1 transistor in it & guess where that is? (Not the radio, that was not a standard item)
Thanks Chris, I love the analogue era, no on board diagnostic ports, no software over the air upgrades… and easier to fix. It’s amazing how often you see survivors at shows sporting a small Zeibart sticker or similar in the corner of the windscreen, it clearly worked!
Another great video, great to see such a huge variety of cars celebrated. Here in New Zealand we mostly see American cars at car shows. Surprisingly we actually assembled lots of British cars here in NZ in the 60’s and 70’s, I have a 76 Jaguar XJ6 assembled in my hometown of Nelson NZ. I also loved seeing the TR7 and the MR2 Supercharged as I have both and absolutely love them. Keep up the great work Simon.
Thanks Simon. Great range of cars there and you have a great range of knowledge too. There are a few of those Volvo 262’s surviving in Australia but I don’t believe I have ever seen one in any other colour other than gold with brown vinyl roof with tan leather.
Omg that cav gsi , I swapped mine for a xr3i convertible, big mistake.

Many thanks for your comments, I was surprised also about the NZ assembled British car too and from a past HubNut video many seem to survive.

Thanks Peter, I don’t recall seeing one in the UK, a classic car show first for me!
Another wonderful show brings back memories
Thanks for watching!
