Classic cars & OWNER INTERVIEWS at AVRO HERITAGE June 2023
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2023
- We're back to the Avro Heritage air museum's regular classic car meeting for this video. As with previous visits to Woodford in Cheshire, there was a great variety of classic cars in attendance, plus a wonderful pre-war Morris Commercial lorry. We were there in the Mk1 MX5 as neither the 4CV nor Dodge pickup were fully behaving at the time.
Highlights this time - in addition to the Morris lorry - included a Sunbeam Talbot 90, an immaculate Mk1 Ford Consul, Austin A30, Austin-Healey, a 4CV (!!!), P6 estate, a super low-mileage Spitfire 4 Mk2, and a groovy Citroen CX to name just a few.
I was able to grab a few owner-interviews during the course of the morning's perusings - so thanks to the owners of the Rover P6 estate, Citroen CX, Rover P4, and the maroon DB5 that has been in the same ownership for 54 years! Two of the owners I spoke to were over 90 years old, so clearly owning and using old cars is good for the health - if not necessarily the wallet ...
If you haven't yet seen the previous classic cars video I did at the Avro Heritage museum, please have a look through this channel's back catalogue, where you'll find all manner of classic car, lorry, van etc videos to watch.

Fabulous cars
What a great video. I loved the chats with the owners especially the gentleman with the Rover. What a great character he is, he took no messing from his dad!
Agreed he's definitely a chatty gent, thanks for watching
What an absolute pleasure listening to the chap talking about his Citroen CX, one of the best things about attending these shows is finding people happy to share the story of the cars they own, a great guy with a great car. I’ve only just started on this vid but it’s looking like another one of your gems. Well done.
Thanks ratty
This was excellent! Loved the chat.
Thanks for watching!!
Love the green Rover P4 and the red 4CV, which is almost as nice as yours! The interviews with the old boys about their cars are a very worthwhile addition to your videos. Can't imagine a modern owner enthusing about their Tesla, even if they have some idea of how they work............
Love the interaction with the owners, interesting stories behind the restorations
Agreed
Yes Rick, we love this interview format. Reveals so much information and useful tips on owning old classics. Please, let's have more of this. I'll reward you by buying two OCC stickers!
I'll do what I can :-) I've had quite a few recorded chats with car owners over the last year or two.
👋 Hi My father had a red Rover 2000 in the 1970s. That estate model would be very rare.
I had a business associate in the early 1990's in Germany who had a W126, a magnificent car, always serviced by Mercedes and unfortunately the engine blew up at 250K kms. Mercedes replaced the complete engine completely free.
Good to hear stories from the owners. It gives the cars some real background. Thanks for the walk around Rick. 👍👍
Thank you Mr Jones for another excellent video. The chats with the owners was very interesting specially the old chap with the Rover. Regarding the Renault 4cv,I don’t know if you know but Mathewsons next auction has baby blue right hand drive one like yours. Thanks again.
Hi yes I saw that one, very similar indeed, thanks for watching
Brilliant show and fascinating interviews! 👍👍 (Happy Father's Day)!
Many thanks!
Nice that you folks sort of combine father's day with forth of July weekend.😊
Only 14 minutes into the vid, can tell its going to be a brilliant watch. The Citroen suspension spheres are still in use in agricultural tractor and combines. They are used to cushion some hydraulic functions such as front axle suspension, rear implement linkage and the header lift (the bit that cuts the crop) on combine harvesters.
Interesting, I didn't know that, thanks for watching
The chap with the Citroen CX could take a look at the Cold War tors channel,Scott on there has owned several CX's and theres vid s of one his mates dragging them off to be restored.
Very true, and his SM, I watch that channel quite often myself
Like the interview format. ‘Cept now youTube needs an English to American auto translate. 🙂
That was brilliant Rick ! Lovely to hear from the owners about their cars and histories - made a real change and really brought everything to life. The final Rover P4 would be my 'take home' car - what an absolute beauty - such gracefull old ladies ! Thank you so much for your time and effort - excellent as always. Take care 🙂
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I love the interview content, good to hear the stories behind the cars. Thanks
Thanks yes I like finding out the back stories to these cars too
Thank you that was brilliant, really cool😊
Thanks James, glad you liked this one
That was great hearing the owners stories. Liked the green Rover P4. Always liked the updated shape but that P4 has sparked interest in the early P4's.
Thank you for doing these videos.
Thanks Allan, yes the P4s are a quality car and l agree that the early cars in particular have a certain something about them
Another great video - loved the Sunbeam Talbot 90. These were sold here in Australia, in small numbers, along with the Alpine. Always appeared to be a quality car.
Thank you for a great video , with all the interaction from the owners 👌
No problem 👍
Thankyou Richard . Coincidently, l too was having a great chat with a long time owner of a DB5 only last week ! I love the stories behind the car and Nick was a great story teller . And that Spitfire was just so nice ....the only flaw l could spot were the incorrect hub caps .... And your interviews with the Citroen and P6 estate owners , and obviously the DB5 owner were the icing on the cake ! Thanks Richard
Six moustaches the 4CV
Wow the old guy with the Rover P4, what a lovely man! & what a lovely car.👍🚘
Love the dialogue with the gentleman with the Rover at a end of the video.😊
Brilliant! Super cars and enhanced by the interviews with 'vintage' and wildly enthusiastic, knowledgeable, owners. It was a joy to watch and enlightened my early Sunday morning, made even more so by Harley's Bicester video. You two have cornered the classic car genre market! Thank you, and I look forward to watching more from you both. To be frank, due to my incompetence and non-social media nous, I am all at sea with both of your videos which on my steam laptop are all out of sync. But all thorougly enjoyed!
Rob
Thanks for following the uploads we put together, it's fun to do and rewarding that people like to watch
Very nice to listen to the owners of the classic the DB5 my choice when in my young years I’ve always wanted a dino but out of my money range as you may know now making over hundred thousand great video thanks
Thanks, yes always neat to hear these back stories especially when a car has been in one person's ownership for so long
Great to hear from some of the car owners and their anecdotes!
That's it, every car and owner has a tale (or many) to tell!
Excellent video RJ, I did enjoy your "Chat To The Owners| approach, great idea. Nice to hear HJ pointing you in certain directions also. I see Mathewsons have a 4CV up in their next auction the same colour as yours and it is has e good estimate. Off to watch CT now.
"Mathewsons"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw a photo of that 4CV pop up somewhere recently, I must have a read up on it
A most interesting video - enhanced greatly by including the interviews - especially the Rover P4. I have owned quite a few Rovers myself, mostly Land Rovers, however, just before the end of the 90s, I bought a Rover P5 Coupe. It had the 3litre six engine, and was rather a large car, but it was extremely comfortable wherever you sat in it; driving felt like you were driving a ‘gentleman’s club’ on wheels. It was certainly a heavy car, and although it pulled well enough for modern traffic, the top speed was just a fraction below 100mph. My current car is anything but classic - being Jaguar XJ 351 Portfolio, this car carries luxury & comfort to new levels; even having massage seats in the front and an incredible infotainment system.
I remember my P5B saloon being a very agreeably wafty way to get around too! thanks for watching
Great video R & H, like the owners ' stories , would love the 1961 Essex registered Vespa 400 in original paint - find another one of these ? !.Like you , love the elegant Sunbeam-Talbot 90s , we owned a '49 Mk1 ( bought for £30 ! ) when I was 17 , the first car driven solo on the day I passed my test in an Austin A40 like yours !.The Mk1s are now mega-rare, with foglamps instead of the front 2 air intake grilles and the only series with rear spats which were quickly dispensed with as they were rust traps .
The contrast Vespa 400 to Merak is shocking, from the ridiculous to the sublime. Rover P4 a lovely classic and the owner told an interesting history. 👏
Favourites: #1 Rover P4 (green) 50:51, #2 Rover P6 Estate 2:33 28:56 42:16 and #3 Renault 4CV 32:23 46:16 😁👍
"Revving it's kna%&@ers off" Brilliant! ;-)
A nice look at a Healey 100M, mine was the 100. So no louvred bonnet, but happy memories. So another nice big tick in a big box for me. There was another big tick as well. The Corsair, I remember a very pleasant journey to San Pier GC in the back of one of them. It was an eye opener as that was one Ford I did not think much of. It cruised down the bits of motorway between Swansea & past Newport at well in excess of 85mph, pre 70 limit. Its owner worked for Ford in Swansea as the Safety Manager. They were rare cars then, never good sellers. It was a manual not an automatic.
I see you got to sit in a very nice Rover. That series of Rovers were very nice, but in my youth when they got old they tended to rot underneath. The usual problem inadequate underbody protection. It took many years to cure this failing in cars & some were worse than others. We have far more knowledge how to look after cars now. But my memory is unfortunately tainted.
I think P4s were (are) mainly prone to rotting at the back end underneath, but after 60 or so years I suppose they and cars of that age can rust pretty much anywhere given the chance. Thanks for watching.
@@oldclassiccarUK I think a good one of these with modern methods of looking after the underside is a very good long distance mile muncher. They were always good for covering the miles in comfort.
My three to take home this time, as an estate car man, 1 the Rover P6 estate. 2, the MK1 Ford Consul , memories of Uncle George in the late 1960s with his hand painted light blue Consul. He made a good job of it as well. That's what folk done back then, as did Mr Wady our neighbour hand painted his Hillman Husky. And 3, the Ford Corsair of which I owned three.
Now don't laugh one of which HMP896B was haunted.
Shame I can't go into detail on here, I ended up trading it in for a new Fiat just to get rid of it.
I also love the Sunbeam Talbot 90 and P4 Rovers , but can only choose three. Enjoyable video Richard. Cheers 🍻
Thanks Peter, it'd be interesting to read about the haunted Corsair!
@@oldclassiccarUK happy to tell you the story, shall I e mail you it?
@@peterward3965 I'd love to hear about that too Peter!
@@billygibbons8601 Hi, I've just e mailed the story to Richard. Cheers 🍻
My late girl friends late husband had a black cortina estate that was previously owned by an undertaker for delivering flowers every time he pulled up the tailgate would open on its own
Love the late MGB rubber bumper roadster. My boss who owned a Ford RS dealership had two of these unregistered in the showroom Fords were not very happy but they stood next to his other toy Duncan Hamiltons road going GT40 which he took me out in a couple of times.I think I would rather of had the MGB
Nice explanation of gas suspension from man who owns one.
