The TRENTHAM GARDENS classic car show 2023 | Feat. owner interviews

- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2023
- Our trundle over to the Trentham Gardens classic car show 2023 - or "classic & retro car show" to give it its actual title - is the focus of this Old Classic Car video.
The last time we visited Trentham Gardens in Staffordshire was when my youthful assistant was knee-high to a grasshopper for a kiddies' gathering/birthday party many years ago, and I've been meaning to visit the classic car show held here ever since. In 2023 we finally made it happen.
As the show's title suggests, this was a classic car and retro car meeting, so while I'll try and feature a bit of everything the main focus will, as usual, be on the older cars given that this is a classic car channel. Apologies if I missed out anyone's car, there were a great many classic cars in attendance at this year's Trentham Gardens classic car show, and it was fun to see lots of classics for the first time.
Highlights for me included example(s) of:
Mk1 Austin A40
Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire
Reliant Scimitar SE4 Coupe
MG Montego & Maestro Turbo
Peugeot 305
Austin K9 lorry
SAAB 99 Turbo 2 door
1913 Chalmers tourer
Austin A90 Atlantic DHC
Innocenti Mini Cooper
Ford Consul Capri (Hooper conversion)
Riley Kestrel (1100 shape)
Jaguar Mk1 saloon (3.8!)
Plymouth Belvedere police car
Austin A40 Cambridge
Renault 5 Gordini Turbo
1920s Humber tourer
Frisky Sport
Invicta Black Prince
Lancia Flaminia
... and many more. I believe over 900 cars had been pre-booked, which might explain how long it took to get around everything.
Also included are interviews with the owner of a magnificent vintage 1913 Chalmers tourer, and the near-unique surviving example of Hooper-updated Ford Consul Capri - both cars real rarities.
If you're new to the channel - HELLO! - please take a look around when you're finished here. Comments welcomed as always, was your old car featured in this Trentham Gardens classic car show video? Which of the classic cars or vintage cars was your favourite?

Thanks , This The Great Car Channel !
Hello From Finland ! Very Nice Vintage Cars !
Excellent video.
As already stated, what the * was going on with the psychological speaker torture. For putting up with that and returning a valiant video result you deserve an award for service under hostile attack.
Well done and thank you.
Ha it was very difficult to hold a conversation while over that side of the field, so at the very least it'd be better if the wick was turned down somewhat next time. Or better off altogether IMO - if the music isn't your taste, it could get a bit annoying after a while. But that's just my opinion, I'm sure others enjoyed it.
@@oldclassiccarUK I avoid events where they set up loud-speakers and give us GBH of the ear drums. You can always 'mute' and voice-over if things get desperate. Thanks for your perseverance :)
Thank you for another excellent video😊😊😊😮
Thanks Robert
I covet the S type. Absolutely beautiful.
That's my black A40 Farina next to the MX-5! It was great to meet you and Harley and share a quick chat. My A40 is a bit scruffy around the edges as you will have seen, but I saved it from being broken for spares which might help give an idea of the even-worse condition it was in when I bought it last April.
I'm not sure I mentioned at the time that it's my first car and I've used it pretty much every day since passing my driving test five months ago!
Hey I take my hat off to anyone mad enough to save and daily a 60+yr old car 👍
great blog a gen good to see them Gary from Crewe 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great video,I really wish I’d gone to this one
Thank you for a fantastic day out what a huge collection im sure you had very tired arms and feet video time 2 & 18 minutes after cutting some bits off WOW, my choice was the Austin A 90 Atlantic DH i hope you both got home safely .
Nice to see so many fresh cars and I enjoyed the Chalmers owner interview. Yes, I agree with you that the blue Jaguar 3.8 saloon was verrrry nice, and also the Hooper Consul Capri. Loved the two stately Rover P4s!
I would agree with the choice of the Jaguar 3.8 saloon and the Rover P4s, but add the 1913 Chalmers and the Bentley near the end. As usual, great show!
excellent video loved the italian mini which i believe is pronounced Ino chenti being Italian and all😊
Fair point!!
My Dad had a 1600L cortina mk3 for years and it became my brothers car before being (probably) scrapped LLH732K
Thank you for another great video. The Armstrong, the S Type and the Kestrel were the stars for me. BTW, did you call the red P6 a Triumph as it left?
Best wishes and thanks again
I might have done, just a slip of the tongue (I've done that before with Rover/Triumph 2000s for some reason, must be an age thing!!)
@oldclassiccarUK Your knowledge is remarkable. I've been around cars most of my 60 years and I've learned a great deal from watching your videos for which I'm very grateful 🙏
S type, mark1, then mark2😊
Mk1 first for me, the remainder are pretty much evens for me
My uncle had a brand new Daimler v8 auto 1963 when I was ten lovely ride and your vid well done very enjoyable to watch
18:30. I really like the gold MK2 Cortina .
[ and of course the Rolls Royce].
24:08 Peugeot: a real shame when th pulled out of the U.S. market in about 1990(?).
📻🙂
Hello Gentlemen . Well ! Spoilt for choice . I particularly liked the Triumph P6 ( you can't get away with any thing Richard ! 🤣🤣 ) l agree that mk1 was beautiful however , the "S"type will give you the best bang for your bucks . And l don't need to remind you Jaguars are supreme at disappearing before your very eyes !! That Series 3 V12 "e"type in Bahama Gold was probably unique in that colour . That lnterceptor was an SP . Thanks guys .
I know, a slip of the tongue re P6/2000 etc etc! Yes Jaguars continue to appeal, although keeping them right can be all-consuming as I remember ...
@@oldclassiccarUK indeed !
I was there😅
Thankyou Rick. Great show in a beautiful setting. Interesting.... we have a Trentham here in NZ about 10km away from me ( we pronounce it Trenth-im here). A suburb of the city of Upper Hutt, best known for it's Army camp and racecourse.
A quick google confirms it was named after Trentham in Stafford. Great to find the connection.
Its not in stafford,its in the city of stoke on trent which is in staffordshire.
In Staffordshire then, I stand corrected. Thanks@@ivanfernyhough3851
I would buy a Daimler 260 V8 with that beautiful Edward Turner engine, look for one with the manual gearbox. fantastic. My car of the show is The Sunbeam Rapier. Cheers Bob
Daimler 260 V8, which model would that be?..........
@@richardsealey3626 it was a typo, Daimler 250 V8, that’s better.
Cheers Bob
@@bobspeller2225 I'm getting, got old and I thought it was me!!!!!!!!
What a huge showing of cars. Highlight of the day for me was the Armstrong Sidley Sapphire. My Dad had one when I was about 3 - the first car I remember. We had a long driveway and I would wait at the gate for him to come home from work and "steer" this behemoth up to the house.
Agreed it was a stunning car and something of a rarity, at least at the shows we get to
If you look closely at the x19 distributor you will see in the bulkhead there's an inspection plate.
You can remove it from inside the cabin and get even better access to the points.
great show. The Jag series 2 what a beautiful colour and theTriumph special, would love an interview with the owner. Another great video.
As a Jaguar owner it has to be the Mk 1.
Same here - just!
They need to cut the grass in the display areas. Difficult to walk on and it also ends up burning on your exhaust.
That isn't a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine, it's a Series 2. Pity you didn't spend more time with it.
Ok
Epic video RJ in more way than one, some fine vehicles there. For me it would be the Jag S Type however, the gold V12 E Type is to die for. I do like my Luxo Barges like that magnificent Rolls Royce as is the Super Snipe, I did own one in the early 70's. My brother had a X19 Purple with a cream interior, lovely little car. I will have to watch Harley's new upload this evening
Thanks for sticking with these longer uploads, I set out to make them shorter but I can't bring myself to chop out a lot of things that I find interesting :) I'm half tempted with the idea of an S-Type as a cheaper alternative to a Mk2, but I do wonder how much work and expenditure they'd need to keep them right (saying this as a former S1 XJ owner).
Dont know why the organisers choose to assault the participants auditory senses. Spoils your otherwise excellent video.
I know it was fine if the tunes were your thing, otherwise .....
they might have cut the grass
Ha I did wonder whether because there were so many cars, perhaps we were in an overflow area. Sometimes it's messier though to be on grass that has recently been cut, it gets everywhere in the car.
Shame about the very intrusive pop music. Made it much harder for you, well done in difficult circumstances !!
In adversity we strive :-)
I`ve always said "never married again"- but with one of these gal`s ooh yeah
Nice video.. The organisers need to tone down the really loud stage music. Spoilt the day. We went to Himley house a couple of weeks ago with a woman singer who was great.. Not like your profile this heavy rock from here
I think it might have been a little overpowering if I'd had to sit close by throughout the day ...
@@oldclassiccarUK Yes a good day out though
So many cars But Not a Single Corolla Gti-16v
Must be very few around now, if I went to a Japanese car do then I'd probably find one
@@oldclassiccarUK Well that's what you would think but but at Simply Japanese @ Beaulieu this year, Not a Single One out of 2,000 jap cars. Maybe see you at one your show nest year than you can do my car justice
That is noise not music and I do not think noise is copy writ.
Even if the noise gets interpreted by YT as something identifiable I end up with problems, so I have to err on the side of caution. Thanks for watching!! :)
@@oldclassiccarUK Rembember when Cybil Fawlty tells Basil to "turn that racket" and he points out that it wad " Bethoven' sfifth racket!"
There must surely be a way to leave out that dreadful music! It spoils the video - I shudder to think what it's like to be present at the venue.
There would have to be no sound, or I miss out a chunk of the show
