As a Brit now living overseas I say your videos are never too long. I always look forward to them. My father was one of those who would always choose the Austin version, never a Morris. Please keep up the great work.
Awesome Austin Herefords & A90 Atlantic -power hood in 1950! - Also the Lanchester Coupe de Ville had a Power Hood or in UK parlance an electro hydraulic Drophead, but alas didnt meet full production, though its sister the Daimler Conquest drophead did.
I so wanted to go to this meet but work prevented it. Nice to see the Wolseley Six I used to own, a credit to it's current owner. Lovely video, thank you.
I really do love an Austin 1800. I have been looking for one for a while. I just missed out on an 1800 ute recently (I am in Australia). What a magnificent event. As a lover of all things BMC/Leyland I would love to come over for this event. Thanks for a great video.
My father had two Austin 1800s a1966 and a 1969, both bought new. Really nice cars with lots of room. My father didn't like sitting at the dealership while the car was in for warranty checks and regular service so I was sent and loved every minute of it. Seeing the new cars in stock Minis, 1800s, Midgets, Sprites,MG Bs and B GTs. These were the days you could still wander around the service bays if you wanted a look. Of course you always kept out of the way. Couldn't be better for a person like me that loved cars. When I was younger I would wander through the dealerships looking at the new cars and seeing what new models they had in. Collected brochures as well of American and British cars. Still have them. The dealerships were much smaller and more personal in those days, not the huge glass palaces they have today. Everything is so busy now almost assembly line procedure when the car is serviced. Probably because of the cost there's no time to lose. Really enjoy your channel and your sons as well. Watch both and they bring back good memories.
Seeing the rally Minis and the Maxi reminded me of a Halfords advert where they dressed up a Maxi with Halfords accessories to the tune of,' We wish you a merry Christmas '. I fell in love with the Maxi in rally trim after that.
Great video, nice to see the 1959 a55 farina mk2 i didn't know the fact on the early cars boot badges, makes mine early too because it as the stars, Keep up the good work 👏
What a great show and excellent video, good to see some regulars as well as a lot of never seen before gems. You have to love a two door coupe of a four door sedan.
Oh yes! Thanks, this is right up my street. Ever since I was old enough to drive I've been BMC (BL) through and through and despite the bad press some people try to give them some of the best cars I've ever owned where BMC. Brilliant video. (The twin tank Cooper S was standard from '66).
Another fabulous vid, I have a soft spot the Marina. My first was a 74 1.8 super de-lux in a fetching shade of Tundra Green, It was great first car and never let me down, certainly not as bad as its reputation suggested ..
Don't shorten the videos, Rick! We give you extra views when we come back a 2nd and 3rd time to finish watching them. As a commenter noted, the Metropolitan "girl on a wing" hood ornament is original, and was a frivolity that Nash created. It seems they saw value in associating themselves with designers of repute. They did most of their designing in house, but paid Pinin Farina to massage the details on their cars. My mother had a 1955 Hudson rambler (a badge-engineered Nash produced after the two companies merged to form American motors) and it had a Farina crest on the C- pillar. George Mason, who was a charismatic CEO, approved famous pinup artist, George Petty's hood ornament. Petty was known for the "Petty Girl" series of pinups. There is a hilariously staged photo on the net (from a Nash sales brochure) of the generously proportioned gent looking rather silly in an artist's smock while "creating" this ornament, while a young lady poses in front of him in a bathing suit. It is said that one of the petty girl pinups was copied onto the Memphis Belle B 17, which toured the US, promoting sale of war bonds after finishing its run of missions out of Britain
@oldclassiccarUK it has been restored. I don't know yet how many years back. I know cars just not these ones . So I will give it a good look over before any deals are made.
@@oldclassiccarUK sad to say it didn't work out , not as advertised. The add said complete frame off restoration but none of the mechanical had been restored. Only body and trim . Oh well I will keep looking. Cheers
Morris 1100 traveler. 21:10 , very cool - never seen one before. 23:10 , a most interesting convertible❗️ Speaking of the Metropolitan, some were badged as HUDSON, as Nash and Hudson had merged into AMC. The hood ornament was the Nash “Flying Lady Goddess “. 120:35: Beautiful Marina. Sold in the U.S. as an Austin. [1972-1975]. I liked the design. Sadly plagued with issues. I don’t think hardly any survived here- perhaps a handful (?). 📻🙂
Fantastic video - thanks for uploading. I do admire you doing a 2.5hr video but I guess you've got the subscription base to carry it. Couldn't make this show - fancied taking the P6 - so thanks for covering.
Attack of the Landcrabs!! What a great assortment of the type and so many in good nic too. Interesting a few came from the Netherlands. My only experience driving in the Netherlands many years ago, I was on a main motorway late in the afternoon and spotted on the opposite side of the road was a line of Bentley 3 liter cars out and about. It was awesome.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and vividly remember the trials and tribulations of owning/ driving the 'Red Robbo' specials of the late 70's and early 80's. You certainly saw a good selection of 'land crabs'. In May 1975 I did a 6 week residential driving Course at the Regional Police Driving School in Devizes and during that time we drove a number of different cars. BL mad a specific police version of the Austin/ Morris 2200 and it came from factory with police wiring and equipment including 2 tone horns and a certified centally mounted speedometer. I remember checking the oil in the morning and a witty colleague put the two tones on whilst my head was under the bonnet! Addtionally there was a bank of auxillary gauges mounted there which weren't on the civilian model. Already in place were switches for blue light and other police equipment. I think we only drove the thing for a day or two as there were much more exciting cars on the School fleet -3 litre Vauhall 'Transcontinental' Ventora for instance. There was a 'cut in half' Mini in the classroom which is now in Hayes Museum. One day we were taken onto the manouvring area to witness a Factory driving team from Gaydon. Wiltshire Police had just taken delivery of their first batch of Range Rovers for Motorway use and there were concerns about them being easy to roll over. ( two crashed ones stored in the Garage for a couple of days belonging to an Army Unit from Hereford didn't make one feel comfortable as they had both been rolled) BL being keen to keep selling to the police got a couple of their stunt drivers to demonstrate how safe they were by driving them on two wheels. I declined the invitation to sit in one of the cars during this show, but fair play they did a good job of convincing everyone that the cars would not easily turn turtle. At this time my home force Gloucestershire had a mixed fleet of the !800S, Triumph 2500tc and the mk 1 Consul 3 litre. There was also a Volvo 240 Estate ( the first foreign car purchased for police use in the County).It was the only one bought and within a short space of time it was realised that it wasn't up to the job (being rolled over when full of motorway accident signs and cones sealed the fate of Volvo for several years).
That row of Princesses and variants is impressive. I like their design. Your comment about a long row, three high of those cars in the yard makes me ask, "What went wrong?"
My granddad had an A40 Somerset when I was young. A sandy beige colour. I have owned a 1983 Austin Metro, a 1990 Mini Checkmate and a 1995 Rover 214 hatchback. I bought the last two because my brother worked at British Aerospace who owned the company at that time and I could get an appreciable family discount.
I woulld love one or two of those A 40 pickups.The old English Car club features a few of them here on Vancouver Island.I better get my lotto ticket!!! CHEERS from HERE!!!
My A55 II is also an early 1959 model, Stars on the boot badge, flying A on the bonnet, RH parking wipers, the single number plate light, and also, if you look at the front doors there is a notch where it meets the B pillar. All of these were changed for 1960.
My 59 must have been a little later as it didn't have the star on the boot, now you mention it I vaguely remember something about the notch on the door
@@oldclassiccarUK mine was 1st reg July 1959 , don't know the build date or how I would find that? The original reg was PNL 595 now on some yuppie mobile.
Sometime in the late 1950's, a friend of my Dad's turned up one day to show us his latest many times s/h car, a 1947 faded red Austin 16. He took us for a spin, a very smooth ride but a bouncy ride - excessively so because its rear shock absorbers were almost none existent. But as a counter to that slight downside, he rather proudly pointed out the built-in jacks - four of them. I don't remember how they were operated, possibly with the starting handle.
Thanks Richard . And no rain ! As you mentioned where were the Jaguars ? Incidently , that red Triumph mk2 estate with the flared rear arches was Stag engined . It was one of several built by a specialist whose name l cannnot remember ! Cheers !
Thank you a great video , giving a great tour of BMC and BL models. I grew up with a Morris minor and the first car I drove was an A40 Farina. a top car! Didn't see one on your tour. Are they so rare now?
Hi, A40s do pop up occasionally and I was surprised not to see one here at all, but they do seem to be rarer at shows when compared to A30s and A35s etc. Maybe I'll get ours there one day.
Greetings from across the pond. I’ve always been a fan of classic cars, though better acquainted with these stateside. Your material is quite informative and riveting. I see you’ve visited France… Have you considered a trip perhaps to an event like Daytona’s turkey run? Or Auburn Indiana, given your love of pre-war, obscure automobillia?
Given that the Victoria was part-designed by Michelotti, that probably accounts for the fact that the rear half looks so much like the Dolomite. So much so that I thought it *was* a Dolly before you went over to it.
Your answer to the hood ornament on the Metropoloitan is, yes its the correct Nash Flying Goddess. it was an optional extra used on the series 111 cars (rear boot)The designer used his daughter to photograph in the Flying Goddess winged position, then made a clay mould for the final design. I have one on one of my three Metropolitans. Regards Matt (Metropolitan Owners Club UK.) I know all those four cars in the video, club members.
I am not a Brit. Could you please explain what you mean when you talk about the license plate/registration. For example a car is on an “S” plate. Thanks. Love your videos and assistant’s as well.
From the early 1960s onwards, a dating letter was used at the end of a vehicle's registration to give a clue as to when the car was first registered. So, for example, a B suffix would be a 1964 car, C a 1965 car. In 1967 things changed so that a registration letter didn't run for a calendar year, but from August of one year, to the end of July the next. This method of assigning registrations continued until the beginning of the 1980s when it all changed again. An S suffix would be from 1977 to 1978.
Great video but not a single A55 Cambridge or the larger similar shape 105A Westminter, a car I have fond recolections. The 105a had the straight six with overdrive.

Loved the red Rover P6 V8 with the later basket style alloy wheels. Spectacular!
Great video, so many beautiful, desirable cars
Thanks!
Fantastic video, so full of information. If I'd have kept all the cars I've owned it would be quite a collection.

Thanks Jeff, it was an interesting show to visit
Great video as always …. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great video. Nowhere near the numbers of UK cars in the States these days so your fountain of knowledge is priceless. Thank you.
Thanks Larry, glad you liked it

There is a morris oxford in Leeds being used to block a car parking space, it looks so sad just rusting away on the street.

The Nash Metropolitan “flying lady” ornament is original.
Contrary, I believe that is an original Nash hood ornament.

Absolutely fantastic video the car I would love to take home is the Rover ZT 260 absolutely stunning
What no zephyrs
It was a BMC & BL day ... not Ford
Used to love Austin and Morris etc then to me they went off the rails with all the others with FWD ugh shame
Don’t cut them down. I saw a video from the recent revival meet at Tatton Park which is just 5 minutes long ! Absolutely pointless.
I've not seen that video, I did ponder about going to the most recent Tatton but didn't make it in the end. Thanks for watching.
