Although the Donkervoort looks like a Lotus 7, it is really a different car. When Joop Donkervoort bought the rights to build the 7 in the Netherlands in the seventies, he soon found out that he couldn't sell it because the passenger compartment was too narrow for Dutch legislation. So the car had to be extensively re-engineered, and it has been further developed ever since. Nowadays it's really nothing like a Lotus 7.
I’m in a HubNut video! When the beautiful Peugeot 203 Convertible is drooled over, you see me in the background aside my Triumph Daytona 900 motorcycle (very HubNutty if HubNut did motorbikes), talking with another Triumph bike owner. Loved the event. Next year I bring my Rover 200 BRM.
Australia's Chrysler "180" was badged as a "Centura".The launch KB Centura could be had with a 2.0L inline 4, 3.5L inline 6 or 4.0L inline 6. The KC version was only available with the 4.0L inline 6.
Ah, you walked past me when I was explaining design features of the 480 to two Hungarian guys. I've stayed as much with my car as possible, letting people sit behind the wheel, demonstrating the digital dash. Such a wonderful event, where you could see cars that were once ordinary and now almost extinct. And I've seen many cars I've never seen before, including an Australian Ford. 😊
We never got the 480 in Australia - I wish we did - a lot of my Engineering class in year 11 and 12, thought they looked awesome. It was the thing to, cover your A3 work folder in beautiful cars from Wheels magazine and Motor Manual and Modern Motor. The school library also had the monthly magazines from Popular Mechanics and Popular Science with good articles on the latest US cars - such as the all new fwd Taurus, which at the time was a big thing in the US, and then when Mr Griswold drove it under a semi. Lol 😆 The only way we kept ahead of cars overseas, was from those magazines. Every now and then we would get enough money to buy CAR magazine from the UK, a much bigger and different set up to our local mags. But the Volvo was soooo different and you can see the styling cues from the P1800 wagon.
@@adrianmclean9195 Yes, that Volvo 480 is unique...and it does remind me of an updated P1800ES, one of my favorite cars, ca. 1973. I lived in Australia (Canberra) for two years, and attended 5th and 6th Form (just on the cusp of when our school was going from a Secondary 1-6th Form, to a 7-10th Year school--ca. 1975-76), and a lot of my free time was spent in the library, reviewing World Cars--1974, Wheels, Modern Motor, and Popular Mechanics/Science. My favorites were the then-new Lancia Beta Monte Carlo, the Datsun Z-cars, and the Alfa-Romeo Alfetta GT. There was a lot of hype in late-1975, when Holden introduced the Gemini (Isuzu), but most of my classmates aspired to a Torana 5 Litre, Ford Falcon, or similar, domestic muscle cars...Ahh, yes...what a time...Paul Hogan was still advertising Winfield Cigarettes on the telly...
@@craigmclean8260 Thankyou - Lancia Monte Carlo, yes. Also the Alfa Romeo Montreal and GTV. Always have a soft spot for the E49 Charger. One of my fellow students actually bought a white SS Torana hatch, whilst working at the local Holden dealer. My family grew up with hemi V8 Valiant/Chrysler Regal wagons, as there are x6 of us and towed a boat. 2nd family/mum's car was a locally made in Sydney, Morris Mini minimatic with the hydrolastic suspension - travelled 10 years on Central Western NSW rural roads, even in snow and never broke down. Replaced it with the new 2 door Isuzu Gemini coupe auto in purple. Again, all utterly reliable - 10 years. Then original Honda Accord hatchback with x2 speed Hondamatic. Then JD unleaded Camira auto. VL turbo Berlina. Apollo widebody 4 cyl = 700,000 kms - no overhauls. Transmission as new.
Going back a very long time indeed, my dad had a 65 Vauxhall Victor estate, which (with suitable modifications) he drove from Blantyre in Malawi to Cape Town in South Africa back in 1968. Now that was a road trip. Seeing all those old cars jogged my memory of that journey.
I had an Eagle Premier ES identical to that one! It had the 3.0L version of the PRV V6. Very comfortable car, if not terribly reliable. No major issues, but constant niggles. The nostalgia is real. Great coverage of a terrific event. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful show Ian & great to see so many cars that are relatively unknown in the UK! I still think you need a trip down to our sunny South East, to sample the excellent fish & chips + review drive our recently restored polo genesis breadvan! 👍😉
Our friend once had a almera saloon, she inherited it of a aunt, very rare to see another one on the roads around edinburgh. There's a Daihatsu Hijet pick up in the car scene in scotland, which looks pretty smart. What a fantastic event and thanks for covering this event.
Ogle design did some work for London Transport on bus design in the early/mid 80s which led to the L-class Olympians which were the last London Transport double deckers.
Another quality video! Cadillac managed to go smaller with the Cimarron, a badge engineered version of the Mk2 Cavalier. Judging by the louvres all over the hood of the Donkervoort, it's a V8 engined one
Amazing collection of all sorts of cars which indeed does it for me. Nice to see some Belgian license plates as well. Elk Merk Waardig indeed translates to the fact that every car has its merit, but, in addition to that, the noun “merkwaardig” also means remarkable. There is a fun fact for you. Cheers from Belgium.
Re: the Mercury Capri: there are only 67-ish in the Netherlands, of a total production of 60 000 in 4yrs (‘91-‘94). It was supposed to compete with the Mx-5/Miata
Thanks for hightlighting my Opel Ascona LS ! The rear wiper was only an option on the LS trim in Belgium. It had radio added later in its life (it belonged to my great-uncle who bought it new in 1985) and it has the stronger 1.6 SH motor (90hp) but the rest is bog standard.
Amazing! We know it's a special show when there are cars you have never seen or know! I want to come next time! I weird my kids out when I say all the car models out loud whilst they play whatever! Great show thanks for sharing.
in the mid eighties they opened a skoda show room jn our area near the pub we used , my mates dad went in a got an Estelle for peanuts and all joking aside im now old enough and hopefully mature enough to say it was a nice drive , it never broke down and got from a to b relatively cheaply , i had a few goes and enjoyed every one
That Lada 2107 at 5:15 it does have the original engine! That's still the original VAZ2103 engine unchanged since it's original inception in 1970, however in around 2004, they fitted electronic single point fuel injection, with this modern looking intake manifold. It makes around 3hp less than the original carburated version, but much better economy. These fuel injected Ladas (outside of the UK only throttle body injection ones) were only sold in the home market, long after export models stopped being sold, so either this Lada 2107 came all the way from Russia, or it's a original dutch export model, but with the injection manifold / engine put on it Either way very cool to see :)
I was at a car show yesterday 29 May 2023 just outside of Horsham w Sussex. And came across a ''Panhard Dyna Z'' Never heard of or seen one before. But what an interesting little car.
What a very interesting video. Such a lot of different cars. If I knew earlier about this event I would have visited it with my nice 1999 Mazda 626 Exclusive Touring Sedan. That place is not very far away from my place in Germany.
If you were curious as to who the guy was behind you this morning in the black Audi beeping and waving to you in Bilston Ian it was me. Was wonderful to see you.
@@HubNut I couldn't of timed it better if I'd tried. Shockingly I'd actually gone the wrong way since was following Google maps to find a particular road and had to double back on myself. Had I of not done that i'd of missed you which would of made me quite cross 🤣
Cheers. I believe they do salt the roads, which makes the standard of these cars all the more impressive. To get classic car tax, I believe you are not allowed to use the car during the winter months.
A car has to be between 26 and 40 years old and has to run on petrol. So no diesel of LPG. Then you can get the quarter tariff on road tax, as long as you don’t use it in December, January and February. Road tax in the Netherlands is quite brutal. I pay for my Jaguar S-Type diesel €160 per month. And for my MGF and Rover 200 BRM €34 each per month. It is based on the weight of the car and the fuel type.
@@rolfmak1400 Thanks for that Rolf. I guess having to keep the car off the road in Winter is preserving it. You can always fire it up and move it in and out of the garage to keep it turned over I guess. Once 40 years old it makes for much cheaper ownership. Expensive for more modern daily drivers. 😳 Thanks for explaining. Peter in Australia. No salted roads and very little rust but paint and upholstery get destroyed instead.
And right next to the old Volvo at 1:10... it's a Mk1 Honda Jazz! It's always worth remembering that the 2002 is-it-an-MPV-or-isn't-it was the second car to carry the name - in this part of the world, at any rate. I haven't seen one of those on the road since 1990-something. I might have bought one, circa 1997, but a FIRE-y Italian Lancia Y10 caught my eye instead...
I really like the green Volvo 144. The final facelift versions look excellent in my eyes. Love the Chrysler 160 too. A stretched and widened Avenger? Very popular in Spain if I'm not mistaken. I love that 2 door Opel Manta too. And the base spec Ascona.
The one thing about the Skoda Estelle though is, it was known as the Estelle only in the UK cos of an advertising company told to come up with a name other than just "105/120/130" by Skoda GB, so 'our' Skodas were unique in that name, maybe the Rapid name too, I forget about that one, could google it, but, laziness... :P
The name Rapid was indeed used in all markets, unlike the Estelle. Rear-engined Skodas were already incredibly rare in Austria when I was a kid, apparently plenty of them in the 70s and early 80s but all gone by the 90s. I don't think I've ever seen more than one on Austrian plates, a red 105 on original pre-1990 white-on-black Vienna plates and that was around the year 2000. These days there might be some imports floating around since the EU made registering foreign cars much easier, which also made the number of Trabants registered in Austria soar to unprecedented levels for example. Even in Czechia these old Skodas are getting rare.
Technically the Sunbeam's not called an Avenger - they were just badged as Sunbeam 1250 or 1500 depending on the engine. Still good to see though, along with the Chrysler 160. For some reason they got panned at the time for being bland, but I love the style of them. Roy Axe did some great car designs, the Rover R8 is one of his that's also a favourite of mine.
Lots of Hillmans were rebadged as Sunbeams here in Canada but the Avenger became the Plymouth Cricket. Still hoping to find one but no luck yet. They gave/lent an Eagle Premier to the makers of Road House (1989 Patrick Swayze movie) to try and promote it, I believe. Ended up as the bad guy’s car for his henchmen so not that memorable in the end. Great show tour! 👍🏻
There's a guy in the US who seems to have about 20 Crickets, which is probably a large percentage of all those that still exist. I got a reply to a comment on here a while ago from an ex-pat Brit in the US who had traded him a ropey wagon for a tidy sedan.
@@Zeem4 Yes, he’s probably got most of them, then. Not sure if there’s any roadworthy ones in Canada as I’ve only come across ones in junkyards or in a field somewhere. The Hunters were sold here as Arrows - saw one of those a while back.
@@MapleMarmite Strangely enough, I watched a Cold War Motors video earlier this with an Arrow wagon in it. I've seen them find other stuff in fields and junkyards, like the Canadian version of the Viva HC (Firenza?), but not a Cricket so far.
Health and distance mean that the odds that I will ever attend a car meet in The Netherlands or anywhere else beyond the big pond are fairly low, but at least Mr. HubNut is here to give us a much appreciated tour. Btw, Cadillac did manage to make a smaller car: the blinged up a J-car (think Cavalier) and produced the car that must not be named wherever Cadillac aficionados convene, but which we may call the Cadillac Cimarron. Regarding the Ranger, GM did much the same thing in Canada by creating such brands as Acadian, Envoy, Passport, Asüna. The complete list is too long to fit here. Let's just say that it was an SOP for GM in some markets.
I do well-recall the Road & Track issue, introducing the J-cars in 1981 (IIRC), the Caddy Cimarron was the smallest, *ahem* "Cadillac" produced...This was during the "Miasma Years", as I think "Ed's Auto Reviews" called the era...
Correction…… land cruiser in full Aussie mode. The Chrysler/colt was called the Mitsubishi Lancer in Australia. The Chrysler 180 was the Chrysler centura in Australia and had a 4.0l straight 6. (Real quick in a straight line but forget corners). It was our mid sized Chrysler with the valiant and charger being larger with hemi slant 6 or a v8.
David Ogle was the designer behind the SX1000 on display as well as the previous project, the Ogle 1.5, which was a rebodying of the Riley 1.5/Wolseley 1500. He also did the vast majority of the design work on the Ogle SX250 which became the basis for the Reliant Scimitar (Coupe). Tom Karen took over from David Ogle after his untimely demise and finalised the design of the SX250 and later, the Reliant Scimitar GTE.
The Ogle studios were also responsible for the MCW Metrocab and did several design studies for London buses. They also designed the Otosan Anadol, a Ford-based fibreglass car built in Turkey.
Also the rear tail-lights are from a Singer Gazelle (and a couple of other British cars of the period) but mounted horizontally. These lights were also used on the Broadspeed Mini.
So interesting. And understandably overwhelming. Missed a longer look at the Dodge Daytona Shelby. Only because I own one and an 89 Shelby CSX VNT. They are awful and amazing at the same time. And pretty rare in the US.
The Renault Premier used the 25 chassis with 21 suspension. You could have either a 3.0L V6 or an AMC 2.5L ohv 4 cylinder. Both with ZF automatic gearbox only. It was then modified by Chrysler for it's LH range of cars and then again for the LX cars. So the current Chrysler 300 has a bit of 35 year old Renault DNA in it.
The Chrysler Centaura(Simca 180) was never produced with a V8, they thought about it but it wasn't cost effective to make the car stiff enough, the straight six ones were scary enough.
My ex had a Hijet on a P reg and the VIN was Piaggio. I know that as I assisted in getting a replacement V5 and ran the registration through the BMW extended warranty website to find the VIN (I was damned if I was going to crawl all over the thing to find it!)

Also runs a 5cyl audi engine I think too...
A gust of Renault Winds - love it. Really enjoyed your coverage of what looked like a fantastic show
Thx @Hubnut for the nice words about my Ranger !❤
You're welcome. Had no idea about them at all until I saw it!

Because of you Ian, I went here, I didn't want to miss it, again next year.
Same here! Because Ian mentioned the event a couple of months ago I went as well.
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip!!
Amazing variety of cars and then a late 1980's Pontiac Bonneville SSE drives by! Thanks for the outstanding tour.
You spoil us Ian, many thanks for the filming.

Utterly overwhelming is the right way to describe it. I saw so many cars I didn't get to see. Way too many cars to see and lovely people to chat to!
Sooo many highlights! Daf Pony my favourite.
I have never seen so many cars that I have wanted to own. What a fantastic show. With bonus Flock Of Seagulls action near the end! 🥳
Best car meet ever! If I traveled to Europe, it'd be to see this.
That Nissan Sunny at 8:24 lives right up the street from me, I pass by it every day on my way to work

Ogle design did some work for London Transport on bus design in the early/mid 80s which led to the L-class Olympians which were the last London Transport double deckers.
Like the kid who stayed too long at the fair, dazzled by sunshine and too many sweet treats.
It would be interesting to have a peek around that 1950's style filling station, it looks pretty cool.
Designed by a Dutch architect, one of two survivors. Can be seen at Louwman Toyota World in Raamsdonksveer.

The one thing about the Skoda Estelle though is, it was known as the Estelle only in the UK cos of an advertising company told to come up with a name other than just "105/120/130" by Skoda GB, so 'our' Skodas were unique in that name, maybe the Rapid name too, I forget about that one, could google it, but, laziness... :P
The name Rapid was indeed used in all markets, unlike the Estelle. Rear-engined Skodas were already incredibly rare in Austria when I was a kid, apparently plenty of them in the 70s and early 80s but all gone by the 90s. I don't think I've ever seen more than one on Austrian plates, a red 105 on original pre-1990 white-on-black Vienna plates and that was around the year 2000. These days there might be some imports floating around since the EU made registering foreign cars much easier, which also made the number of Trabants registered in Austria soar to unprecedented levels for example. Even in Czechia these old Skodas are getting rare.
Technically the Sunbeam's not called an Avenger - they were just badged as Sunbeam 1250 or 1500 depending on the engine. Still good to see though, along with the Chrysler 160. For some reason they got panned at the time for being bland, but I love the style of them. Roy Axe did some great car designs, the Rover R8 is one of his that's also a favourite of mine.
2:04 the first time a Renault 5 looks like a large car!
It's all relative.
Autoscout is great, most cars are for sale from the Netherlands
Interesting to hear you say Hyundai S coupe. Here in the US we pronounce Coupe as “coop” so the car was called the Hyundai Scoop here.
Never heard of an Ogle. Very cool!
Lots of Hillmans were rebadged as Sunbeams here in Canada but the Avenger became the Plymouth Cricket. Still hoping to find one but no luck yet.
They gave/lent an Eagle Premier to the makers of Road House (1989 Patrick Swayze movie) to try and promote it, I believe. Ended up as the bad guy’s car for his henchmen so not that memorable in the end.
Great show tour! 👍🏻
There's a guy in the US who seems to have about 20 Crickets, which is probably a large percentage of all those that still exist. I got a reply to a comment on here a while ago from an ex-pat Brit in the US who had traded him a ropey wagon for a tidy sedan.
@@Zeem4 Yes, he’s probably got most of them, then. Not sure if there’s any roadworthy ones in Canada as I’ve only come across ones in junkyards or in a field somewhere. The Hunters were sold here as Arrows - saw one of those a while back.
@@MapleMarmite Strangely enough, I watched a Cold War Motors video earlier this with an Arrow wagon in it. I've seen them find other stuff in fields and junkyards, like the Canadian version of the Viva HC (Firenza?), but not a Cricket so far.
@@Zeem4 I’ll have to check them out. I’ve heard of the channel but not watched anything of theirs yet.
Health and distance mean that the odds that I will ever attend a car meet in The Netherlands or anywhere else beyond the big pond are fairly low, but at least Mr. HubNut is here to give us a much appreciated tour. Btw, Cadillac did manage to make a smaller car: the blinged up a J-car (think Cavalier) and produced the car that must not be named wherever Cadillac aficionados convene, but which we may call the Cadillac Cimarron. Regarding the Ranger, GM did much the same thing in Canada by creating such brands as Acadian, Envoy, Passport, Asüna. The complete list is too long to fit here. Let's just say that it was an SOP for GM in some markets.
I'd love to try a Cimarron.
I do well-recall the Road & Track issue, introducing the J-cars in 1981 (IIRC), the Caddy Cimarron was the smallest, *ahem* "Cadillac" produced...This was during the "Miasma Years", as I think "Ed's Auto Reviews" called the era...
And u walked by the beautiful cx😮😊
Green CX is seen moving in Part 1.
Correction…… land cruiser in full Aussie mode.
The Chrysler/colt was called the Mitsubishi Lancer in Australia.
The Chrysler 180 was the Chrysler centura in Australia and had a 4.0l straight 6. (Real quick in a straight line but forget corners). It was our mid sized Chrysler with the valiant and charger being larger with hemi slant 6 or a v8.
Given that Ian sampled a Corina six and a Marina six in Australia, there's a good chance he can extrapolate! 😄
Those Australian Capris remind me very much of a 1990 ish Lotus Elan.
At 12:39 ,what was the blue car next to the brown/gold car you looked at. Italian looking. If you know. Great video
Skoda Favorit or Forman. Seen more in Part 1.
David Ogle was the designer behind the SX1000 on display as well as the previous project, the Ogle 1.5, which was a rebodying of the Riley 1.5/Wolseley 1500.
He also did the vast majority of the design work on the Ogle SX250 which became the basis for the Reliant Scimitar (Coupe).
Tom Karen took over from David Ogle after his untimely demise and finalised the design of the SX250 and later, the Reliant Scimitar GTE.
The Ogle studios were also responsible for the MCW Metrocab and did several design studies for London buses. They also designed the Otosan Anadol, a Ford-based fibreglass car built in Turkey.
Also the rear tail-lights are from a Singer Gazelle (and a couple of other British cars of the period) but mounted horizontally. These lights were also used on the Broadspeed Mini.
The Ogle SX1000…. seems the Allegro and Alfasud share some of the DNA? Remarkable and stylish.
Ian another very interesting overseas video 👍
So funny to see my own car on youtube channel from UK 😃😃. I’m the owner of the blue Volvo S40 at 3:00
Was that Premier badged as a Renault from the factory? I didn't think any of them were but if it was, wow is it rare.
I believe the current owner added the Renault badges. Would have been an Eagle originally.
So interesting. And understandably overwhelming.
Missed a longer look at the Dodge Daytona Shelby. Only because I own one and an 89 Shelby CSX VNT. They are awful and amazing at the same time. And pretty rare in the US.
The Renault Premier used the 25 chassis with 21 suspension. You could have either a 3.0L V6 or an AMC 2.5L ohv 4 cylinder. Both with ZF automatic gearbox only. It was then modified by Chrysler for it's LH range of cars and then again for the LX cars. So the current Chrysler 300 has a bit of 35 year old Renault DNA in it.
The Chrysler Centaura(Simca 180) was never produced with a V8, they thought about it but it wasn't cost effective to make the car stiff enough, the straight six ones were scary enough.
That little red car looked a bit like a triumph acclaim ( Honda accord y reg ) from the front
There was an early Subaru justy with a DAF style CVT.
I remember the Chrysler 180. Ian
My ex had a Hijet on a P reg and the VIN was Piaggio. I know that as I assisted in getting a replacement V5 and ran the registration through the BMW extended warranty website to find the VIN (I was damned if I was going to crawl all over the thing to find it!)
