You only notice how regular cars vanish when you get older. In my childhood in the 2000s there were so many boxy VW Golfs around here in Germany. Now they are almost a rare sight. And let's not forget the giant fleets of Ford Ka's and Renault Twingos of those years.
I know right, I was commenting with my father about it, you don't see more Chevrolet Monzas, Fiat Stylos, Ford courriers and etc in my country those cars are vanishing. Meanwhile something weird happened to the Volkswagen beetle, you can only find them in 2 stages, either unrepairable rust buckets or concourse d elegance showroom quality restored there's no in between...

Malaysian here. Proton is very much still alive on our roads and they're now owned by Geely, which also owns Volvo. My dad once owned a Proton Waja/Impian, Malaysia's first indigenously designed car. It's a shame he sold it, it's a pretty decent car.
I’m pretty sure I saw a Lonsdale at the FOTU as well as a Mitsubishi Sigma, sadly I didn’t spot a Neon, which i always thought was a great looking car when it first launched
@@dubster8086 - I agree, my aunt had a Neon. Very distinctive. I saw a Lonsdale in an old episode of Dempsey & Makepeace recently, which is great for spotting 80s cars on UK roads. (That programme will be FORTY years old next year!)
Yes it was very nice to meet you. That is me in the bottom right window around 01:06 with the Rover 75 Tourer. In case anyone is wondering the gesture I’m making is the squeeze horn of early Brass era cars!
Can't believe I missed you! We're stood around the deck chairs right at the end of the video and my Polo is parked on the grass Will hopefully get to say hi to you at another show sometime!
You should have mentioned that DAF was inventor of the CVT transmission. I had a friend back in the early 70s with a 2 cyl DAF. He constantly was flipping the belts on the Variomatic transmission. He also needed a carburetor, and I gave him a carb off of a 36hp VW van. He said that the carb was WAY too big to fit on his engine. As always, Ed, another great video!
Hey! I had a Mitsubishi built (Imported by Plymouth) Sapporo. It got me through my college years in the 80s. I'm pleasantly surprised one has survived in such good shape. This looked like a fun and relatable car show to attend.
4:15 Ah yes, the Twingo, every time I see one I smile. probably my favorite car of all time. while in europe it sold millions, where I live only 11 thousand units were sold so it is quite rare (but fortunately very cheap) so I still have hope that I'll own one.
I knew you were going to do a video on FOTU after I noticed your Hyundai there. Me and my dad were chatting to the guy with the base model Mk4 Escort in front of you, I noticed it and did sort of strongly advise him to check you out. No idea if you also had a talk with the guy but he was a sweet sweet person.
As an American, that DAF is downright exotic to me, you NEVER see anything like that in the states. Tiny European economy cars like that are rarer than Ferraris and far more interesting.
In the United States this would be like seeing a Chevy Chevette, Ford Festiva, Subaru Justy, Isuzu impulse, Mitsubishi X90, and of course, a 1980s Chevy Cavalier
@@61rampy65 It says something about the mistreatment wrought upon those cars by typical owners. ‘90s Buicks with the 3800 V6 are still everywhere because they were driven by old folks who treated oil changes as a sacred holy ritual. However, the few surviving Pontiacs with the identical drivetrain are in really terrible shape because they were bought by people who thought that cheap plastic side paneling and a spoiler made them “sporty.”
Hi Ed. Was just this morning wondering when you'd be posting. Great stuff. After decades of being a traditional car and racing fan my daughter and I went to an event called Gridlife. Centered on drift cars and drifting it was a hoot! The road less-travelled often holds some gems.
I had no idea you were there lol me and my friends came in the pair of blue and white Triumph Dolomites, the golden/bronze Dastun Cherry F-II (2:33) and the Peugot 106 in the concourse (1:10)
5:40 What takes the Daihatsu Applause out of the totally boring box is that surprisingly it was a hatchback in the shape of a sedan ... _Ripleys believe it or not_
I do own the Daihatsu Applause and I have to say, it’s more peppy than what it looks like. They’ve managed to squeeze 78kW from 1.6 liter in early 90s and it has independent rear suspension with disc brakes all around.
This year was my first time visiting FOTU and it totally exceeded my expectations. So many cars I’d forgotten about as well as some I’d been trying to forget 😂 I clearly got overly excited by everything as I didn’t find the driver of that big chrome laden Hyundai that blinded me in the parking area 🤩
Yes, the DAF, my school (early to mis 80's) had 2 in their mechanical engineering teaching garage! This was SW London. Regards Bond Bugs, in the day, 3 wheelers counted as motorcycle and side cars. So, cheaper tax and you could drive on a year before you could legally drive/own a 4 wheeled car. That campervan, all the browns, oh my, add an avocado coloured bathroom suite and it would be peak 70's!
6:12 that Proton is actually owned by @idriveaclassic and is her daily. It was a barn find that she hasn’t had a lot of issues with, but then it is also the newest car she owns.
When you say mundane to me I think of a Chevrolet Biscayne from the late 50s or 60s or maybe a Rambler from the same time period or my Dad's old 62 Ford Falcon station wagon!!!!
Makes me feel so old lol. I've seen a lot of those cars brand new and now it's "retro" or "vintage", while I'm only 44 xD My first car was a Twingo. Very nice car!
Interesting seeing so many Daihatsus, my parents owned a light blue 2nd Daihatsu Charade when I was a child in late 1980's/early 1990's Denmark that I have a lot of nostalgic memories about. So it felt weird for me seeing that brand completely disappear from the EU market throughout the 1990's.
There is nothing more awesome than cars that somehow escaped the cruel hand of fate. The base models of mundane models in all their glory. I like watching old gameshows for the same reason- to see the new cars they had as prizes. They were usually base, or very lightly optioned, and those cars hardly ever got the spotlight when they were new, and now, they (for the most part) simply no longer exist.
I wouldn’t have thought an A2 is an FOTU car. Yeah it’s an economy car but it’s and Audi and it’s actually quite exceptional, being over designed and quite weird in a lot of ways. I did find the ultimate FOTU car a couple of months ago in a house sale, in the basement garage lay a mint condition Volvo 440 1.6 saloon with plastic wheel trims and 4 wind up windows. The most ‘sporty’ thing about it being its immaculate red (non-metallic) paint. Literally a boiled potato on wheels. Unfortunately the house sold for too much and the car with it.
There is one interesting thing about all DAFs, they were built with an early form of the CVT which used two rubber belts, one for each side of the car.
DAF broke up in the 1970's with the car side bought by Volvo, in the 1990's with the truck side bought by the USA's Paccar (Kenworth, Peterbuilt trucks),
Very true. I grew up in the 2000s and 2010s ( from America ). ~70% of the cars that I used to see 5 of in one day I usually only see now five of them in one year……
shout out to Bruce Wayne for hosting this in his mansion's garden! Also I wouldn't be suprised if Wade from Garbage TIme would love this. So many Nuggets!
Some nomal cars have really vanished in the last years. Where are all the Opel Ascona's gone? Where are the Ford Ka's? And good luck seeing a Lancia or Rover.
I live in Finland and we have some of the dullest stuff imaginable still on our roads. People really believe in keeping stuff on the road forever. For example a friend of mine has an immaculate first gen Mondeo 1.6 l in non-metallic green which is his ‘summer car’. Another mate has a collection of 1.8 B4 passats, not VR6s or TDis just regular 1.8 petrols and one is an Auto! The amount of dull as hell 70s and 80s opels and Toyotas is truly mind boggling.
I pulled up next to a 6 year old VW the other day, it had seriously bad rust on its sills, thin metal of bad quality. My ex had a Ka that was rusting worse than my 40 year old Capri. To answer your question, I reckon most of those cars you mention have turned into mounds of brown-red dust.
Yugos in early stages couldn't outrun rust . The Rovers had a real appeal with good balance in marketing but finally fell victim to poor quality of suppliers and became to be known as " Bad News " even car repair shops warned costumers to buy one . The late Jaguar XJ 6 straight 6 cylinder was a great car wich seemed to have have it all , stylish with comfort , automatic that was immediately adjustable to gear shift customers but the downside again was poor supply of windshield seals and the complexity of electronic which meant when it broke down you were in a lot of trouble . Also the gas needle went down more quickly than one could blink . Overall , i loved that car and sunk a lot of time , effort and money into it but in the end it wasn't even economical enough just for a weekend drive . In my experience the best cars were the 1990's Opels and surprisingly one of those " Phone Box on Wheels " 4 wheel drive Subaru vans , tough even in challenging terrain , economical and indestructible . Thank you for your videos .
As a Nederlander you should be immensely proud of the little DAF 44, and it's vroom vroom brother the 55. Innovative engineering and neat and modest Michelotti styling - what's not to like. Okay, that cat shit brown colour does it no favours but it's a pretty little thing - especially in the rare coupe version.
@@JK061996 - Thanks for the info. Yes, we had the Baleno, I think initially as a 3-door hatch only, and it’s still being sold here as a 5-door hatch. Bland and instantly forgettable.

At my teen years there were many (classic) Beetles around (next to countless Golf, Polo and Kadett) and even still some tailfin-Mercedes...
When I was growing up, you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a Ford Taurus. Now they're all gone.
I know, when i was little renault modus and ford ka were everywhere, now i feel kinda nostalgic seeing them about twice a year
This is true car culture. Just the enjoyment of communter cars and everything motoring!
I wish there were these in the states, i dont really care about sports cars or the like. But a mundane early 70s sedan? Yes please!

I recently met an AMC Pacer in turqoise here in Germany at a classic car meet 😍
In my opinion the Audi A2 still looks modern today.
The A2 was ahead of its time. While is sold poorly in the day, I bet it would be far more popular today.
This is my jam. Screw all those Ferraris and Bugattis, I'm all for the econoboxes.
Wonderful as ever.

This got me thinking of some forgotten cars sold in the UK such as Lonsdale, Perodua and the Chrysler Neon.

You should come to Radwood SoCal in Los Angeles this November Ed ! I'll be bringing my 89 Sentra there.
2:24 I would, as someone who likes Pacer, Pinto, and Mustang 2 hatchback. ; )
That camper was a time capsule. He just needs to have a couple of old Prog Albums lying around, maybe Hawkwind..Warriors at the end of time..

70s era camper van: that's what we called a Shaggin' Wagon...!!!
That was really informative. The US camper( they are everywhere here) would get 10-12 miles to the gallon. I enjoyed you tour.

Yes it was. 🙂
It was also available with MG badges, rear wheel drive and a 4.6 litre Mustang V8.
A well done report.
But the Jaaag, being a supercharged XJR, should be quite far from unexceptional.
And yet I would fanboy on every single car here

The Proton in the UK was basically rebadged 1980s Mitsubishi Colt with a boot; it sold as a mega-budget car (and felt it).

Going to a regular classic car show, a sea of E-Types. Now its a lovely looking car, but its these 'unexceptional' cars that appeal to me.
