WOW, some real beauties there ! I'd have to take away the Daimler Consort any day. 60 years ago, a near neighbour had one, in black, and I loved seeing it glide along the road, silently. Thanks Rick for sharing this video, and I'm glad the Dodge performed well too. Take care 🙂
Hello Richard . I agree about the pre 1990 admission . An as a result we had a number of "bobby dazzler's " the Riley and Crossley being 2 examples . Thamks Richard .
Hi Richard. I like both the old model Rolls-Royce and the Silver Shadow. And the Daimler Consort too. I like how you recorded details of the cars up close. Not as many cars as last time , but still very enjoyable thanks. From Carl in NZ.
I think it was a good call from the organisers to put age limits for the cars on the meet. It is quite possible that we may not have seen the Riley Lynx if that had not been done. What a survivor that is. Some others we have not seen before like the E-type. At least I don't remember seeing that before. Great to see a Pantera in seventies colours, it looked all original to me. The little Arbarth looked great but the driver seemed to have folded themselves up to get in it! Loved that chopped Ford, looked like a barrel of laughs even if it didn't go particularly quick! Great video Rick thank you for sharing it with us. 👍👍
That looked a very well organised meeting , congratulations to the meeting organisers. That post war Daimler was very tasty. well recorded, glad to see the Dodge is up and running again.
Good to see such a varied turnout. The A35 caught my eye when the owners overnighted at the guest house next door to me in Folkestone, presumably on their return from France.
That Daimler is a magnificent car, a friend of mine had a Supra exactly the same as the one in the video which he bought new back in the day, a terrific and quite a large car. A very nice and varied collection there.
Good video again mate, thanks. I'm struggling to pick my 'Car of the Day' because nothing quite does it for me. It's interesting to see an age specific show at Combermere, if they make this a regular feature I might start going again.
The new entry criteria is a great improvement. The Riley Lynx has to be the car of the meet, closely followed by the Crossley, the pale green Imp and the maroon and grey RR. Having owned an A30 I cannot believe the orange A30 travelled so far through Europe, including over the Gotthard Pass; a remarkable achievement by car and driver!
The “old model Rolls-Royce” (at 5:02 and elsewhere) is a 1939 Rolls-Royce 25/30 hp Wraith (a type that must not be confused with either the preceding 25/30 hp or the post-war Silver Wraith). This is chassis WEC18 with attractive 4-door saloon coachwork by James Young of Bromley, and was delivered new to one S.D. Firth. WEC18 subsequently spent many years in Massachusetts - where it was fitted with totally inappropriate whitewall tyres - before returning to the UK and undergoing an excellent restoration by John Gratton in Cheshire.
Love occ channel very knowledgeable presenter, wish he would tell us his name . Only slight moan is you don't have to read out every number plate I can read you know. Apart from that its a great watch ,I've seen about a dozen so far ..keep up the good work.
I've subscribed for quite some time now and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you! Just had to write because you mentioned the British Motor Museum in Gaydon. I'm from Sweden and at the moment on vacation in the UK. And today we actually visited the BMM! Wonderful place! Knowledgeable and friendly staff. The ones I talked to weren't specialized in cars of the early 50's, so they couldn't help me with a question I had. I have a picture of my father and his friends and a British car. I wonder which car it is. I do have a clue, but I would like to know for sure. Do you think you can help me?
The Cadillac Allante has a fascinating history in that it was the first Cadillac roadster since the 1930s and had a ludicrous manufacturing process. The bodies were designed and built by Pininfarina in Italy and then were flown from Turin to Detroit by Boeing 747s for the installation of the US chassis and engine. The Allante had front wheel drive unusually and a V8 engine and, surprisingly, had a respectable life span from 1987 to 1993. It's purpose was to compete with European rivals like Mercedes and Jaguar and it sold in decent numbers as a halo project but I doubt if GM made any money from it.
I think it's a good idea to age theme these smaller meets, otherwise it just gets a bit out of control. That's not to say sports and supercars shouldn't have their own day too - it's just there's only so much space!
It can add to the variety seeing some moderns, but the last-but-one meet was a bit too much really so something had to be done, most likely the next will be for 1990-on so whether we'll go to that one or not I'm not sure :)
1990 is a good starting point for a Classic Car Show. I can only speak for myself but I'm fed up with all the modern stuff that turns up shows these days, Just bigged up by their BHP and Cost Price
Post-1990 rarely excites me much either tbh, in fairness though meets like this aren't always "classic car" meets, they're for any "enthusiast" car, which could include "classic" cars, modern sporty cars, and so on. But if an event describes itself as a classic car show, then yes there should be a cut-off in date.
Give me chrome bumpers , a simple speedo , 4 cyl , small size , hard top , wind up windows , a complete spare , with proper tools and owners manual , single carburetor , key start , a back seat and plenty of trunk space rear wheel drive , and a 4 speed. thats a reliable car. and one note worthy unless im towing another.

Yes me also, they look great in two tone bodywork.
My Uncle had a black one in 1960s
I agree on best of show as the Riley Lynx. What a survivor. I love the verdi gris on the grill shell!

It was a more laid back meet for sure
Great video
E type still does it for me😊😊

I agree, some kind of criteria can make sense when there's limited space available

thank you with best wishes

Small world eh! That little car certainly gets around

Loved seeing the Porsche 914. It looks exactly like the one I owned in 1979.

Hillman Imps always struck me as being a very neat looking car.

By all means email me a scan over rj@oldclassiccar.co.uk and I'll take a look

Interesting stuff, that reminds me (but on a grander scale) of the arduous production of the Hillman Imp here in the UK
👍👍👍👍👍

PS I see you found my lad's channel while he was watching the auction earlier, I sat with him watching some of the lots and saw you on there too
@@oldclassiccarUK it was really fun. I won £50 for guessing the £3000 winning bid on the Vauxhall fb vx 4/90. Really chuffed 🤣
@@oldclassiccarUK ps - yes, your lad's done really well with his channel - credit to him
What a nice collection of cars. I was away for that meet, but will be out at the next.

I do like MGB , Wolsley Hornet , Austin 1100 , MG 1300 , Triumph Herald , etc.
Oh and unmodified 1967 1968 VW
Lap belts and lowback seats
Yes there's a lot to be said for simple cars, not that anything like that will be built again alas. I'd probably go for a 5 speed 'box mind.
Allways seeing old cars for the 1tst time,, the rear collum shift needs a new solution ,,, complicated
I stopped when the Toyota was shown. I thought it was a CAR Meet, not for death traps made out of kitchen foil?
