- Can I find the elusive Yugo and Montego Estate? I also find some other gems, including a Volkswagen Golf Cross Country, the oldest roadworthy Morris Minor van in the UK. Lots of amazing autojumble too, and we sold some!
HubNut merchandise available at hubnut.org
Huge thanks to @UPnDOWN for his help over the weekend. It was great to see Hilda on the road!

Stop it Hubnut you making me like Montego's even more ha ha. In all seriousness i'd actually have one
The MG Montego and Maestro looked really nice with the full body kit on. Some would argue it's a polish/turd situation though
Thanks for the video. I grew up in Tring Hertfordshire before moving to Wales. The Moss family had a farm called White cloud there and it's widely known in Tring town Pat Moss use to drive round like a lunatic speeding like she did in the rally cars. There was actually a Fulvia being restored near you in the garage behind the petrol station on the cross roads in Penparc/Cardigan that Cyril Morgan and his wife owned. It was a brown car Cyril died around 2001/02 ish, I know his wife was still there in 2004 when I last visited from Canada. My guess is he never finished the car, as it was still far from being done when he used some of our workshop equipment while doing it in 99/ 2000. As I was interested he'd show me the progress when I called in for fuel, and being early days of not everybody having internet, i'd search for parts for him sometimes. If his son doesn't still have it, it's out there some where. I'd love to know and see a picture of it if it's finished. Take care .
When your T shirt matches the sky. That's impeccable colour coordination, and foresight.
Lovely Moggie van in GPO green and, baby airstream-esque caravan.
Very interesting video. Most enjoyable.
The white Bond Bug was featured on Bangers and Cash.Thanks for the walk around Ian
Very surprised to see that. I thought you could have any colour as long as it was orange.
@@caw25sha I believe six white one where produced for Rothmans cigarettes as promotional vehicles
Enjoyable as always, Thanks for sharing Ian, always appreciated it 😊👍
Absolutely brilliant video Ian ❤👆 what a fantastic collection of classic cars brilliant
Great report. I'm sure there are parts on sale at Beaulieu that were bought for a project, turned out to be the wrong part or not needed. Sat in someone's garage for a few years, then went back to Beaulieu. Got sold to someone else, sat in their garage for a few years.... and repeat....and repeat....until the end of time.
Year 2 1991 VW Golf Country Syncro. Sent to Graz as a Golf Syncro CL and then built up at Magna Steyr for VW. Built for 2 years. All were LHD. An old friend in Derbyshire brought a few into the UK and converted to RHD and some fitted with a TDI engine. I flew to Munich in 2002 and drove a black Year 2 car back to Wigan. The development team behind them were given silver versions to GTI spec!
Thanks for taking us to this lovely event Ian! I almost can smell that typical petroil fragrance ! 👍🏻👍🏻 🆙 like allways!🫶
Great walkabout 👍 I bet Kitch enjoyed the weekend sitting next to Betty Lol.
Nope.
🤣
Thanks Ian, I have really enjoyed this one! I have never seen so many minor's before! Goodness me, you British really love your oldies❤
That Reliant Super Seven (3?) has made my day.
What a great collection of cars and bits 😀
I've a soft spot for Singer Gazelle's, we had a 2 tone green one in 1976 when I was 6 yrs old, at that age I thought it was a luxury car! We only had it a short while, a drunk in a Marina hit it when it was parked up and it was replaced with a Hillman Minx, don't remember much about that, I must have thought it was bland in comparison haha!
My dad’s first car in 1967 when I was 4 (he came late to 4-wheeled transport in his 40s having owned and ridden motorbikes, motorbike/sidecar combos and motor scooters) was a Series 2 Morris Minor with trafficators that he drove for 3 years. Later, from 1975 to 1977/78, he owned a 1967/68 Morris Minor 1000 - love the sound and interior of the Minor, would love to drive one someday. Nice that you gave the Ital, Montego and Allegro your attention. The 1964/1965 Triumph Herald and the A35 saloon and van versions were lovely to see too, as were the Ford Thames and Leyland-badged J4 vans, but then there were so many lovely vehicles to see there. Thanks Ian for a great tour video of the event. 🙂
The straight 6 civilian Land Rover FWC was not a large seller. It caught the attention of the MOD, who in conjunction with Land Rover developed the V8 FWC artillery tractor and the ambulance versions. A PTO driven ammunition trailer was also developed. Had one of those for my camping gear, towed behind my PTO equipped ex MOD LR LWB station wagon, an ex communication vehicle with 24v electrics, the space for the 96v radio batteries was where the rear side bench seats would have been. Charged by the 24v alternator via a transformer.
Another top video Ian. Lot's of cars that I think we all took for granted back in the day. Unfortunately most have gone now, those that have survived tend to be the 'special' ones with poverty spec cars long gone. Such a shame really as these were often the bread and butter cars for many. The car for me was the Hillman (or was it Chrysler by then) Avenger Tiger with a close second of the Capri Laser. A shame you didn't track down the Yugo but at least the Montego was discovered. Many thanks for sharing.
I went to an autojumble on Sunday Ian on the hunt for a roof rack. But I came home with a 70's monochrome telly and a fog light. Oh well.
"It's Mr HubNut!" 😂
Fame at last!
I think if Issigonis had used a flat 4 engine in the minor, we wouldn't have had the A-series exhaust fart, which is so iconic...
what a lovely event and good weather too and some very nice cars
A very interesting selection of cars and parts for sale!
I would love the 1967 MGB GT in blue - same year as me - and that Charger kit car!
Nobody does car roving car show info/trivia better. Encyclopaedia Iania.
Amazed to see the scoota car,,, liked the A30 austin coupe..
I was one of those shy people who didnt get to chat. Glad you had a good time. I did spot the Montego and think it was quite hubnut. That and the astro turfed smart.
I wonder if that is the same smart car I used to see near where I live. If it is, it was a owned by a company doing AstroTurf grass.
Great video...I have a custom Morris 1000 pickup, but also had an RS body kit fitted Scorpio back in the day, with 7 spoke RS alloys,...The head gasket was on it's way out, so sold it for £450! I also had a Mrk 2 Charger kit car...The earlier ones were called the Challenger, which looked slightly different...The only drawback I had with my Charger, was hitting my head on the door getting in and out, and at being 5' 8" tall, that was a rarity to ever happen, where i would hit my head on any door top. :D
Some interesting vehicles on display along with the items at the Autojumble. The Morris Minor Traveller with the rear door was very different - wonder how well that would have sold had BMC put it into production?
Wow - the white Bond Bugs are incredibly rare if it's original
"Have you in your life ever seen so many Morris minor travellers?"
Yes. I lived in west Wales in the 1980s...
Thank you, I watched this video early this morning, what a good way to wake up with, lots of memories started The Ford prefect exactly the same as my dad‘s first car. When we were going up houghton cut my a very steep hill dad would say lean forward and push against the front seats to help us up the hill. And the split windscreen Morris 1000 which he had for years with lots of camping holidays with me and my brother sat on the back seats with stuff stacked over us and a huge stuck on the roof rack. Great memories, thank you
Enjoyable as always)
Never been to one of these shows love to go but they're always too far away
another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍
some lovely old cars there Ian. On seeing the Triumph Spitfire, a friend of mine owns one he has had it for 48 years.
Whenever you're looking at an "odd" Land Rover, the first thing to do is look and see if it's sat on leafs or coils.
Couldn't see the springs in your footage but, based purely on the Defender rear crossmember, my guess would be that somebody's got hold of an old 300tdi Defender, taken the body off it, fitted the 110FC cab onto it and (perfectly correctly) kept the registration that goes with the 300tdi chassis.
There's a very nice "Series 2" appearing at shows that's sat on coils and has a 1950's registration.
That means the owner has either modified the S2 chassis to fit coils OR he's fitted a Defender 90 chassis... and, in either case, that's actually a bit naughty.
On a similar note, there is/was a company buying up old Range Rovers, taking the shells off and dropping them onto modified Discovery 4 chassis', leaving them registered as 1970s RRs and selling them (for £150k and up) as "tax-free resto-mod classics".
If they were sat on an UN-modified D4 chassis they should be registered as rebodied D4s or, with a modified chassis, they should either be on a Q plate or on a brand new plate if they've been built with new parts and type approved.
An interest in kitcars AND Land Rovers has taken me a long way down the registration rabbit-hole. 🤕
Delicious wheel trims on that Montego hls. Corr.
That thing in your title pic looks like an Embeesea Charger from the 1970's and thus inevitably Beetle based....
Really do love them Golf Cross Country 😍
Great video, I wish I was there as there I a few things I fancied.
Excellent...really enjoy your car show stuff..the one you are at was a particular favourite...
The Singer Gazelle ( early one with the flared rear wing ) was of particular interest...if you ever find the same in maroon plate UWM 534...it was my father's car... assuming crushed but perhaps not 🤔...
Great upload thank you
It's not on the DVLA website so it hasn't been registered for a very long time. I believe their data goes back to the early 70s. Sorry ☹
This is the best video in a while Ian! Love it Whoop Whoop 🙌🏻👍🏁🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
"...This lovely little vintage caravan.." not a phrase that I'd have expected 6 years ago!
I'm off to the largest car show/auto jumble in Ireland in kilbroney (NI) Sunday 15th June, where I'll spend most of the time trawling the stalls.... you can see old cars anytime, but "treasure" is what I'm after. Any treasure will be swiftly sneaked into the shed before herself gets wind of it 😂👍🇮🇪
Love a jumble.
I'll just put my pedant hat on at a jaunty angle and point out the Minor van is the oldest post-war van in the UK. There are still quite a few surviving pre-war (1929-1940) Morris 5cwt Minor vans around I've been a passenger in a 1938 GPO Engineer's van at one of the Pre-War (Morris) Minor Network's Summer Weekend Tours. They are very 'cute'.
Jaguar grill would make wonderful wall art.
AY UP MR HUBNUT
And there it is 27:30 minutes in and I get some Talbot Express/Fiat Ducato/Citroen J5 action! Great video, now I'm desperate for an auto jumble!
Nice to see a Golf Country. Hard work keeping them on the road as spares are not easy to come by.
Great video mate. It was a great day. Lovely to spend time with you, but where was that Yugo?...
Never did find it!
Brilliant Video Ian, thanks for taking us round the autojumble. The chap Steph was talking to when you filmed her filming, was he wearing a Rustival T shirt or Hoodie??
Shame you could not find the Yugo.
He was wearing a Rustival hoodie!
Nice 😊
At least the Morris Ital isn't as big a piano magnet as its Marina cousin 😂😂😂
14:38 "It's Mr Hubnut!"
The Raleigh Chopper , gear lever in the center console , best ‘Wheelie bike’ on planet earth when I was a 10 year old in the mid 70’s Very fond memories from decades ago . Favourite car featured would have to be the racing Bentley … Gurt lush
Certainly got on mother nature's good side that day with the weather, cos today, my goodness is it soggy one!!! :P
Odd taste here love " lotus 7 " three wheeler !
Enjoyable video, I was looking for a Montego estate as a family hack back in the 90s I always thought they looked practical. There seemed to be lots at the time that were ex fleet cars and they were priced quite low. I ended up with. Renault Savannah instead though. I didn't know Scootacars were built by Hunslet that's interesting. I love the Raleigh bikes from the 60s but the Chopper didn't do it for me.
i saw that yellow avenger in edinburgh last week
30:03 "Electromagnetic"? So did the stalks have magnets that operated reed switches or something? Meanwhile, I'll take the Prefect, ta.
Yup. They only latched when power was applied.
There is a Mini Marcos sat in someone's garden, less than 8 miles from Beaulieu...
20:28 - 2 cars and 2 boats I can (JUST) about afford..... :D
Great walk around.... I could spend all day (and my money) there....
(Also - that was the "ReRelease" of the Chopper. Gears were on the twist grip. The original "Gearless" Chopper was called the Tomahawk - I had one as a kid. :))
Hello, Ian. Unrelated to this video, but did you know that a video explaining the 2CV engine quite well was posted last August? Search for: 'The Most Interesting Engine In The World Citroen 2CV / How does it work in 3D?'
A friend of mine has a Metro Advantage on a ‘G Plate that needs restoring
I worked at the site where scooter cars were made been reading some of the history in may audition of model engineer
23:23 I think there was one in New Zealand in one of the museums of the guy that showed you around who had an excavation business...?
Yes, an original 60s one. This is a 90s recreation.
21:25 next to a Mk. III Zodiac front grille by the look of it.
Agree about the Avenger such underrated cars Always wanted a Mk2 Chrysler badged Estate with the Newer 1600 engine , Loved the 2 litre and 180 models and The Alpine but boy did they rust , Remember The Chrysler has The Answer TV adverts , Wish they would bring back our motor industry and stop pushing Milk floats down our throat, I ain’t buying one , the Battery’s can’t be recycled and the technology is not the finished article
No, no, no, only Smarties have the answer 🙂
My daily driver when I first started working was a 1600 Chrysler Avenger Estate in Navy Blue with a white pinstripe, first car I ever drove with a rev counter as well 😊
i owned the ford econoline when i raced hillman imps
Hi . Love the video. Bit of a long shot would you be Interested in a lot of new head lights. Indicator lights and rear lights for maestro/montego/metro cars . A friend of mine has lots for sale
I would not, but would recommend speaking to the Maestro and Montego Owners Club.
The Heritage Green Defender would indeed have worn that colour from new on account of it being a Ltd Edition Heritage model. Ohhh an MBC Charger.
I thought the Heritage models were much later? Could well be wrong...
@@HubNut I apologise, I didn’t clock the plate. You’re right. That’s a genuine 1997 car (not a newer one with an old plate) so a nice bit of updating to make it look like a 2015 Heritage edition.
I saw you at your pitch we had a little chat. I asked where was Misses HUB NUT was you said she was at a another classic car show. .
Yup. That show report still to come.
After watching this video, I was already dizzy seeing all the parts, let alone if I had been there myself.
Spooky there's a Morris traveller in the exact gold colour locally. Spooky
Limeflower?
@delukxy I think so I saw it last week nearly done my neck, craining for a look whilst driving. It's deffo not Harvist gold or Bahama beige.
@delukxy Yeah it's definitely Limeflower. Thanks for that.
I seem to recall that colour was only available in the last year of Minor production...or I may be wrong.
"Some more modern stuff"
No need to bore us with huge amounts of detail. 😂
That Montego estate looked like a poverty spec. Am I right? Lovely condition, can’t wait to see the road test.
HL I believe, so middling spec.
Maybe the real Yugo was the friends we met along the way.
🤘😎🤘
Opens up with a gorgeous Ford..... Then a Fiesta MK3 in all its dull glory ! What am I doing? I don't really like Fords. Oh Jesus now a Grandad - I am being held hostage by Fords - hit the Citroens and FIATs over the weekend please .
The late model Allegro's are the pinnacle of Allegro - kind of the finished article and very good as a result. My very first car was a 71 Avenger 1250 - PCW 879 J - my gateway to a million miles of freedom.
I own a 1970 GPO Luton Forward controll S2B 2.6 6cylinder with 5870 miles from new. 😊 I found it in a shed and had to save it.
Marvellous!
@HubNut ruclips.net/user/shortsti3pzd7WcIA?si=ucdwmHYJo3rlmA9z
Hear it is. Original brakes clutch 90% original bearings etc. Engine untouched. One of three built for GPO the other is also up in Scotland and the third still survives but converted by Dunsfould.
My one is the most original surviving. I need to dig it out.
There is a startup video on my old RUclips channel but I forgot my password lol.
ruclips.net/user/shortsti3pzd7WcIA?si=ucdwmHYJo3rlmA9z Hear it is. Highly original mechanically. Down to the original hub swivel seals.
ruclips.net/user/shortsti3pzd7WcIA?si=ucdwmHYJo3rlmA9z one day your welcome to do a road test
5:08 correction the mirrors are from the vauxhall cavalier aswell. So just to correct you hubnut on that. As my name suggests I am part of the Car club
They're really not. They're the same CX items as used on the Jaguar XJ220.
@@HubNut I do apologise. But also correcting you again I do apologise. Did you say Citroen BX or CX for the mirrors. Because they come from the CX
@@HubNut they are know as the CX S2 Spiegel elektrisch
@@HubNut but amazing videos huge time supporter keep up the work
Looked a good weekend. Now did you manage to not buy anything to replace the stuff sold?
I did! Nothing purchased.
Was that parked next to the Tiger a 3-wheel 7 ?
I think Ian said it was Reliant Robin based but obviously made too look like a Lotus/Caterham.
Yup. Reliant bits in a 7 stylee.
nice cars i see an australian AU falcon i have the rare AU S1 silhouette
The AU is mine. Bought it in NZ.
MBC charger kit car.
Was the Morris police car the one from bangers & cash?
10:21 The Lancia has Italian style number plates. Are they strictly get-away-with-able?
Not really. Depends on who stops you I guess.
I own a 2001 Renault Espace 3.0 V6 which is my daily driver. Have you seen any lately. I live in Guernsey Channel Islands and believe mines the last one here. I recently drove from Poole to Isle of Skye and never saw another in UK. Do you know how many are registered in UK ?
That 1967 MGB GT in blue is gorgeous! How do I go about finding out where it’s for sale!?
Sadly I have no idea. Not sure if I recorded any clues in the video.
@@HubNut I’ve watched that excerpt so many times to try to find out whose stand it was. There is nothing that I can identify tho :(
Where can we see the Saxo engine in the Imp? :-)

Remember when I worked on a farm as a teenager ,the owner bought a new van and for tax reasons it only came with a driver seat , ended up sitting on an egg box and until a used seat found
You have FAILED in your mission to find the elusive Yugo. Worry not, for I have found (and bought)a Blue '88 Yugo GV race car. Stripped Interior Hood scoop,8+point Roll cage spare Engine parts,ect. Running and driving and all for $500. Woo indeed 😮👀! Arizona car with 0 rust of course. Have a few of those Plymouth Crickets(Avenger...)at my place and at work.
Maestro and Montego club? Rohan trousers, beards and open toe sandals
I like smells. I go to these meets because I like the smell of oil, petrol and diesel. My favourite smell is a well used public lavatory. I like the smell of some factories, bus seats, greenhouse interiors and car tyre depots. I walk around inhaling. If I see something that I believe will have a curious smell I spend quite some time with it. I got into a scuffle with one seller at this event. He got angry because I was just sniffing his starter motor for 20 minutes. He told me to sling my hook but I told him it's a free country. He got up and threatened me. My name is Richard. If you have something that smells curious get in touch as I may be interested.
I like the smell of 2 stroke engines and wood fires etc but you are just being a nuisance to people, if the starter ment so much to you, buy it......
Do you " sniff " you're items also in a tent perhaps? A used ,soiled canvas tent , which has seen plenty of previous owners
Falcon.famous.australian.car.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤hubnut.
A couple of highlights from this video and you are widening your repotuar caravans also that three door Morris Minor Traveller with the three passenger doors and the rear passenger door on the left hand side only now that is three cars l now know that hand two passenger doors and one door on the driver's side there is the Hyundai Velostar the new Mini Club man and that Morris Minor Traveller and it was the first to do it
Do you like vauxhall cavalier of the 1975?
I do.
Why did I think you were addressing minors with this title?
I want that rover 800 with wire wheels 😢
The Metro Advantage was a sort of Roland Garros rip off
More the other way around. The Advantage (also available as a Mini, Maestro and Montego) were late 1980s.
Hello Ian. Unless I missed a video with you saying something on the matter, what has happened to Bella?
All will be revealed. A new issue revealed itself...
@@HubNut ooooOOOoooooo
