Some fabulous old pictures of cars and people. Back then people used to dress so well. These old pictures deserve to be shown and remembered, so thanks for showing them.
How much times have changed even in my lifetime. A wonderful and well structured video with some first rate historical photos and a very apt Beethoven soundtrack choice RJ, relaxing and a joy to watch, I thoroughly enjoyed it. A strange and poignant feeling actually in as much as many of the people seen in these photos are probably no longer with us and yet here we are seeing them being in a small way remembered on the latest of modern technology that wasn't even dreamt off at the time many of these photos were taken.
Thanks, yes whenever I wade through these photos I often ponder what happened to the people in them, especially when I see young kids say in the early 1930s, bearing in mind what was to come just a few years down the line. I also find it a bit sad that there are no relatives that these photos get passed down to.
My late father started in the motor trade as a lad in 1929 at Lucas's garage in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. I remember him talking about many of the manufacturers which were around in those days but have long since disappeared, names like Bean, Hotchkiss and Clyno (apparently in those days Clyno was a really big manufacturer). I'm sure some of your photos were of these defunct brands which we can't recognise these days (although at 72 I can identify quite a few of the later but now defunct ones). Great video as always.
Thanks Nigel, yes there were so many manufacturers in the 20s and 30s that disappeared after just a few years, probably down to the popularity of mass-produced Austin, Morris, Ford, Singer etc cars.
Thank you, thank you so much for a remarkable set of photos steeped in nostalgia and so relaxing to watch, accompanied by the peaceful, non-intrusive music. A splendid social document and a real labour of love! One of your best ever videos! I wonder what the stories are behind each of the photos, what the hopes (and fears) of the people were and what became of them and their cars. I dare say you have many more similar photos and hope we can look forward to another instalment? I do hope the Youthful Assistant is entrusted with being eventual custodian of your valuable collection. I have been looking through my family photos with similar themes from the 1920's and 30's and what struck me is the enormous distances, for those days, that they travelled. From Sussex all the way to Scotland in old Morris Cowley and an Armstrong Siddeley, punctuated with the traditional wayside picnic stops!
Thanks Colin, yes there are quite a few old photos filed away here, many have featured but not all so keep an eye on things for future themed collections!
Excellent! It is funny how design changed post war, to include luggage as an integral part of transport. Haunting subject having watched, and is in line with my fascination for old british 50/60's films and transport. Long gone era, when a few tools could encourage "tinkering" which became a life long pastime.
What better way to view these old classics and their owners by listening to the beautiful sounds of Beethoven, Really enjoyed this one Greg, well done mate.
That was absolutely brilliant Rick. A small piece of history captured for ever in a photograph. I bet those people never guessed their images would still be looked at - some of them over 100 years later. The style of dress throughout the years is amazing to see too, and the way they prepared their pic nics too - fabulous. I wonder if any of those vehicles are still about - a bit of homework checking them I think. I think I shall scream if I hear Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata again though, at least 10 times on a loop ! Thanks for putting this video together - what a great idea. Take care 🙂
Brilliant video, love looking at cars with their owners. 6:45 Menai suspension bridge North Wales. Parked down that road many times to walk the bridge. Is it open again yet? Right back to the video.
Hi 👋 Excellent old photos of motoring history. The pic of the woman sitting on the bonnet of the Mini at the beginning reminds me of how my mother dressed in the early 1960s. The bouffant hairstyle and pointed toe stiletto shoes. Thanks from Carl.
I enjoyed the picture with the note saying 1906 driving to the poles Excellent photo’s one of you best videos for me as I enjoyed the vintage cars and the interesting clothes
The dress code of the different eras was so striking. You put on your 'Sunday best' to drive out for a picnic. My Dad wore a tie to work right through the seventies even though he worked with woodworking machinery for a good part of that time. You could also tell the ones with a 'Man to drive' with his peaked cap on. A truly unique collection as you say Rick. 👍👍
Tomando por base q uma foto é tirada pela importância do momento, os principais sujeitos aquí são os veículos. O q me leva a considerar q essas pessoas q aquí pousaram graciosamente, eram da classe social mais bem favorecida pois um carro novo ou bem conservado, nunca foi artigo de pobre ou assalariado! Esse conceito eu tenho, desde o Brasil onde, mesmo com a popularização de alguns modelos despojados e subsidiados por governos populistas, nunca atenderam efetivamente, a demanda da classe trabalhadora q usam comprar das sobras de ricos, veículos semi-sucateados... Por outro lado, mostram q o carro foi o participante mais presente na vida das pessoas, substituindo-lhes os pés pra irem muito mais longe e, rapidamente transportarem riquesas, alimentos e histórias das famílias no inter-relacionamento social ou de outra natureza! Hoje temos a pacífica dependência dos smartfones e outros conectados à net, q já quase substitui os carros pra maioria das pessoas q já ñ preferem aquele trambolho pra cuidar! O q virá em sua efetiva substituição? Drones, micro-aviões, teletransportadores ou o quê poderá vir a substituir o carro?
@@oldclassiccarUK It is indeed Bethoven "Moonlight Sonata " l could play this but life gets in the way ! I can't read music so listening to this half a dozen times will possibly get the cogs in motion !!!! Thanks Richard
That’s a great look at life gone by, you’re right this one is more about the people than the cars but that early Jaguar mk10 is spectacular, very unusual to be a UK registered car with whitewall tyres, I seem to remember some of the early Etype factory cars had RW number plates so I wonder if it a has a factory connection ?
Yes I think the Mk10 probably was a loaner from the factory, it's one of several photos I have of vehicles testing out rail carriages designed to transport cars
Great photo's but I find a lot of those pre 60's cars dreadfully ugly and crude looking. I often wondered why open top cars were the norm (it seems) in the 10's 20's and 30's - apart from the rain did people not find it cold back then. I know many had hoods but they nearly always were open or so it seems?
Open top cars were the cheapest option usually at the time, saloons were more expensive, yet now it is the open top cars that are ££££ in most cases, whereas the saloons are often cheaper. Saloons are also a lot more expensive to restore in many cases.
Great old photos. The people in the pics are living their lives; it's hard to overstate the democratic and liberating effects of the motorcar over these many generations, and it is a key a reason why so many of us are attached to cars at the hip. They emancipate us, as does music. I've always enjoyed the buoyant narration in OCC videos. it's quite uplifting to absorb the energy of our host's many superlatives applied to even the most mundane machinery shown on this channel-- so the choice of Moonlight Sonata seems a bit out of character. somewhat dirge-like. Or, is that just me?
As I said, this upload was more about the scenes and the people than just the cars, so for this one (only) I decided to omit a commentary and let the scenes do the talking.

My, how times have changed. People dressing up to go out for a drive, not always with a destination in mind, the occasion was the drive itself.

hi great video, good collection of photos, love the Austin Champ as a wedding vehicle.
Thank you a great trip down memory lane so many makes i have never seen before I loved the Beethoven Sonata .
Great to see these old pics. How times (and clothing) have changed.
Stopping for a cup of tea on the grass verge, and a table cloth on the table!! they knew how to do it perfectly 👌
One of my favourite of all the old photos
I much prefer the videos with the commentary!
JIM ❤
It was just for this one, normal service in the next vid
lovely choice of music
Great photos, thanks for sharing them, Bob
Very relaxing which is what I needed. 👍
P.S. Thanks for including a couple of my pics. 😍
Thansk for sending 'em!
Very enjoyable, while i miss the commentary, the music is very soothing.
What better way to view these old classics and their owners by listening to the beautiful sounds of Beethoven, Really enjoyed this one Greg, well done mate.
Cheers, thanks for watching, RJ.
Excellent video … great that these moments in everyday lives are preserved …. Loved the musical accompaniment
Glad you enjoyed it
Thougherly enjoyed the photos rick,we can relate to some of those eras.well done.
excellent collection
Thanks Barney!
A very enjoyable video thank you 👏🏻

I know very little about old cars. I would have preferred to have your commentary on this video. Not a complaint, or a gripe - just my humble opinion.
His narration is always appreciated. His knowledge will be enjoyed for many years through his video library.
Thanks for checking it out, as this one was more about the people and scenes I decided to leave it quiet just for this vid
Looks like a Rover 16 P2 at the 04.40 mark on the video 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video but actually missed the commentary.
Thanks for the feedback, this vid was a bit different to the others but normality will return with those in future :)
@@oldclassiccarUK
... Music Evocatair... A sweet basting in nostalgic pain...😅😂
Great thanks. In this case better without the commentary. The Beethoven was getting a bit repetitive though...
Missed the commentary RJ !
Always like to listen to you,so reassuring and knowledgeable.
Fear not normal service will resume with future uploads, this was a one-off
Great thanks. In this case better without the commentary, although beethoven was getting a bit repetitive...

I liked the Princess jam sandwich! Must've been the police chief's... 😁👍
Yeah living the dream eh!
Miss the narrative
Then turn the sound down and do your own 🤨🤔🙄🤣
What do we think was going on at 23.5, the chassis with no rear axle?
There are a few photos which I think document a car being rebuilt, this was one of them (and the most interesting)
A thesis on the dismantling of dignity...
Poinient😑😔
17:57 Two BMWs with the same numberplate???
I know, almost identical cars too, I might return to that photo and have a closer look at it again
@@oldclassiccarUK yes, I noticed that. I thought they might be sequential but they looked like the same number….weird.
Terrific assortment Richard ........now what was that music being played ? 🤣🤣🤣Thanks Richard
Beethoven, I forget which but others have mentioned it in the comments :-)
