Really enjoy your channel. Mine is the Fiat Panda with the old map in the window! Used to have a '56 Standard 10 Super, so nice to see a bit of love for Standards on the channell too. Keep up the good work!
I. Thankyou for your kind words about my pink and grey 1959 vauxhall cresta pa. It was allegedly destined for the scrap yard back in 2012 but was rescued and restored by the previous owner. I purchased it prior to covid and spent the covid years completing it to the condition it is today. Great video thankyou.
Thank you for giving my 1934 Standard ten a bit of the lime light. Its proved to be a very reliable little car. I drove 200 miles in it to attend the show. Its a shame there were only 5 pre 1939 cars, but great to see such a variety.
Thanks for covering the Scimitars. You were right on all fronts. The earthing issues are mostly negated as it sits on a sturdy steel chassis. I've had the yellow one since 2009 (at age 20, my friends thought I was nuts). It was used for commuting every day for years, and is still used for business quite regularly. It had a tasteful upgrade a few years ago when the engine was rebuilt as bizarrely it was cheaper than standard so it sits on the "sporty but still useable" point of the spectrum.
Hi, that's my 900 Turbo 16S at 1:23:51. Thanks very much for featuring it, you've clearly got excellent taste so you have a like and subscribe from me!
Cool, I'm a big fan of the classic 900Ts, I was sorely tempted by the remains of a B-reg silver/grey 16S 3 or 4 years ago, mouldering outside a local garage. Every panel on it was toast sadly, but I wouldn't mind one some day. There is a 5dr 900T in red sat on a driveway not a million miles away from here, I'm doing my best to not knock on the owner's door. FYI dad had one of the first 900Ts, a LHD '79 5dr, this back in the early/mid 1980s. Thanks for subbing :)
Hi 👋 The Citroen cars were flying the French flag there. Alot of CV2s. I go regularly to a cafe here for breakfast. And in the shopping carpark near the cafe was a lovely old Citroen traction. So i had my phone with me to record it. Very nice condition too. Such a good mix of different types of cars there on show , the Skoda car are rare to see nowadays, they were assembled here in NZ in the 1960s / 70s. The police drive the new model Skodas now. Do the police use Skodas there where you are ? I like the old cars that i remember on the road when i was young and their sparkling chrome features. Thanks for your video Richard.
Thanks RIchard for another encylopeadic display by the master. Do you dream of cars? My wife used to have a Daf 44 which I attempted to service myself. Interestingly the engine had no oil filter, so regular oil changes (every 3 months) were the order of the day. Despite using top quality oil of the time including newly introduced expensive synthetic, the engine started to emit vast quantities of blue smoke, so not wishing to attempt providence, I opted for a car with an oil filter. Keep rockin'
Type four was something I was unaware of, like you say every day is a school day. Great entertainment and educational too brilliant! Best car Chanel on RUclips.
I noted and agreed wholeheartedly about the V70 turning circle, or lack of it, I ran one for 18 years and 371,000 miles until rust caught up with it. A colleagues V70 cross country FWD had a much better turning circle. Your videos and also Harley's provide a lot of great viewing, keep it up.
What a fun gathering! So many different and unusual cars that aren't normally at the "regular meets". I was becoming disappointed about not seeing a Renault 12 considering all the Citroens and Peugeots when suddenly there it was behind 2 massive Cibie Super Oscars that are probably worth more than the whole car. It was a rather rusty green? color, but it was there. The 1974 I owned tried to be a reliable car, but being a transition year for unleaded gas and EPA smog pumps in the US the exhaust valves burned on a regular basis. When the distributor fell apart hundreds of miles from home and no parts supply it was over. It was a very comfortable car though.
The Peugeot @ 10.00 is a Hoggar Escapade! Made in South America (Brazil?). It was never sold here and the one in the video is believed to be the only one in the UK. (Hope that's all correct ... I was intrigued and looked it up.) Great video, as ever, Rick. Many thanks. John Pinfold, Cheltenham, UK.
There’s my cosmos blue MR2 at 1:20 and 32:50 Thanks for this brilliant video. There were so many great cars there. Every one was somebody’s pride and joy.
Cool, yep agree 100%, not every car at the shows I/we visit are necessarily our "thing" but they're all someone's P&J on which much time, energy and usually £££ has been expended :) thanks for watching
Thank you for mentioning my Vanden Plas Princess 3 litre; as you say she is a very comfy old girl indeed and a great high-speed cruiser. My Honda Prelude is next to her, and despite only 20 years age difference they could not be more different!
Well, what can I say? First class coverage of this event. the car I would love to take home is the Vanden Plas 3Litre Princess, such stately and classy cars. the Vauxhall PA's are a very close second.
Thanks Vince, yes it was a bit of an edit-a-thon getting this one all done yesterday (Sunday I was out at another show), thanks for watching! Yes the VdP and the PAs were all beauties.
The elder British gentleman RELLY KNOWS about ALL motor vehicles . He must be an author of an encyclopedia . The youthful assistant must be a fancy reference for a son .
Ha I don't think I know all vehicles, far from it, the ones I'm most vague on are the ones I grew up with weirdly, plus the American cars too but they did change most years, just to make identifications tricky sometimes. Yes the YA is our 16yr-old - check out his CarTraction channel :) Thanks for watching.
Loved the Riley 1.5 with the dazzling chrome. Also the black and red Standard 10 and Austin 7 box saloon. Really liked the stunning PA pink and grey Cresta. I remember seeing them in pink and white as a child back in the 60s. Is the Jag behaving itself now?
Can there be such a thing as too many cars at a show?? Like when i went to the louvre years ago and i spent a bit of time looking at this and that in different halls, but after so long I'm just storming past priceless art after priceless art hardly giving them a second glance.
Sometime a really big show can be a bit overwhelming, but as usual there are so many different types and ages of car that it becomes easy to focus mainly on the ones that are of most interest. Thanks for watching!
Another great video ,I have just had my Viva HA rally car restored,WOW Evan though I s ay it myself you have probably never seen a better one ,a hard life must have agreed with it , virtually no rust ,Seem to remember many rusted away while people drove them. anyway I have 2 originalMOT,s with the bills £2.10p including VAT You show the Maxda with 4 wheel steering, a friend of mine had a garage and he had one in there . I asked how his customer got on with 4 wheel steering . His answer Timy most of my customers struggle with 2 wheel steering! and I won't tell you about my experience with 2 door Cavalier.
Thanks for going to this one. I'm a fan of the three youtubers that produced it. They all did their own vids, but yours seemed better, because you kinda showed everything, a more objective view ? Anyway, this burned out old hippie thought it was great. 🙂
Cool, thanks! I guess everyone has their own take on what to feature, like I always say I try and feature a bit of everything but spend a bit more time on the older metal.
Thanks for the in depth coverage Rick. The PA Vauxhall with the 3 piece window was the only model to have those flutes in the roof, they were deleted from the PAY on. Question: do you have a handbook for your Renault 4CV?
Yes I'd never noticed the flutes on the roof before, a neat touch, I think I have a handbook for the Renault 750 yes (that's what the UK built cars were called), whether it has the same info as the French 4CV handbook I'm not sure?
Have you any idea what your lad is going to get as a first car? I'd suggest a panda 169 07-2012 model, cheap to run and handy to learn in due to it's boxy design. Fun to drive aswell. I am a fiat fan as you may have guessed 😊👍🇮🇪
It'll be something with a tiny engine, cheap to buy and importantly cheap to insure! Maybe an Aygo, they have a good reputation by all accounts and are 1-litre only. Also cheap/free VED.
@oldclassiccarUK watch out for water leaks into the cabin, leak from quite a few places, my friend had 2 of them from brand new and the dealer couldn't fix them..... Panda would be a cheaper car and the engines are non interference so if anything were to happen to the tb it's a simple fix. A grown up car in a small package 🤗 My daughter has one as a first car and insurance is cheap cos they don't attract the hooligans and ins companies know that.
Richard . This reminded me of how ugly many of the '80's cars were! I think the wing grilles on the DS19 were brake vents forthe inboard brakes . We both agree the triple rear window Cresta was a wonderful period car. "These boots were made for walking" 😊
My overriding memory of cars in the 80s was that they were, visually, often just a bit dull and plasticky. The notable rarity of so many makes and models now makes them interesting as curiosities to me, I guess that happens with every generation of car and car spotter. Thanks for watching.

It looked fab, thanks for checking out the vid!
Just brilliant ... Thank you ...
Thanks John, glad you liked it
Great job once again 🇺🇸🗽🇬🇧🏴🏁🏁🏁
Many thanks!
Great show😊😊 and venue
Thanks for tour😊😊😮
No probs, thanks for checking it out

I'm a big fan of pre-war cars too (and Standards) so will always feature them when I can, more the merrier!

Good stuff, regular use keeps everything working just swimmingly usually, thanks for checking out the upload
Thanks for showing my Bond Bug up close, first video to zoom in on the trip diary written on the side 😁
No worries, always love seeing these oldies that have done an epic trip or two :)
Loved the Topolino. A great video.
Thanks Lawrence, yes it's a neat little car

Yes lots of Citroens of all flavours, I'm not really sure what the Police now use over here, probably something German I expect

I try not to dream about them!! In fact If I can I'll read a book before bed on anything but cars (currently Concorde). Thanks for watching!

Thanks David, I always preferred our Mk1 V70 over the Mk2

Indeed, I spotted the make/model shortly after first seeing it, quite an oddball

No probs, always neat to see a big Farina in such great condition, thanks for watching the vid
Thankyou for being polite about my russett brown Allegro lol :)
Like I said, I remember my mate's mum buying a new one (S reg) so I've soft spot for them, thanks for watching :)
That was wonderful! Im amazed how quickly you edited it since Saturday! Thanks for another great video.
Thanks, it would have been out a day earlier but I was out all day Sunday too :)
My Mondeo at 43:07, I saw you walking round but didn’t get a chance to say hello. Great video again
Thanks for checking this one out, grab me next time and say Hello!
Well, what can I say? First class coverage of this event. the car I would love to take home is the Vanden Plas 3Litre Princess, such stately and classy cars. the Vauxhall PA's are a very close second.

@@oldclassiccarUK Humble gentleman .
Loved the Riley 1.5 with the dazzling chrome. Also the black and red Standard 10 and Austin 7 box saloon. Really liked the stunning PA pink and grey Cresta. I remember seeing them in pink and white as a child back in the 60s. Is the Jag behaving itself now?
The Jag is definitely improved, I'll get a proper update out soon
Really great video. You must get through a lot of shoe leather. Thanks for all your work.
Thanks yes I feel myself losing an inch or so in height ever year I do this :)

Thanks for going to this one. I'm a fan of the three youtubers that produced it. They all did their own vids, but yours seemed better, because you kinda showed everything, a more objective view ? Anyway, this burned out old hippie thought it was great. 🙂
Cool, thanks! I guess everyone has their own take on what to feature, like I always say I try and feature a bit of everything but spend a bit more time on the older metal.
Love the fords consul Zef and Zoe’s all marks
Cool video.
48:10 Toyota Windom sold in the United States as the Lexus ES-300.
📻🙂
Can someone point me to the Rootes Group video that is promised here and in the Old Ford video? Hillman Minx/Hunters are my jam!
It's not out yet!
Thanks for the in depth coverage Rick. The PA Vauxhall with the 3 piece window was the only model to have those flutes in the roof, they were deleted from the PAY on. Question: do you have a handbook for your Renault 4CV?

Now that I think about it That Desoto may have had a Max wedge v8 or the larger hemi Chrysler / Plymouth was famous for.
Oh i almost forgot to say my favorite car there was the beautiful Vanden Plus .
It was a fine car indeed
Have you any idea what your lad is going to get as a first car? I'd suggest a panda 169 07-2012 model, cheap to run and handy to learn in due to it's boxy design. Fun to drive aswell. I am a fiat fan as you may have guessed 😊👍🇮🇪

I think Plymouth made Desoto . Very rare to see these days
