COMBERMERE car meet for PRE-1990 cars | June 2024

- June 2024's Cars & Caffeine at Combermere car meeting was for pre-1990 classic cars. Due to the meet's overwhelming popularity and the huge turnout of cars old and not-so-old at the previous gathering, the organisers decided to introduce an entry criteria for this one, in a bid to keep numbers more manageable especially given the finite amount of parking that is available outside the Old Piggery Cafe.
Pre-1990 cars (or at least those designed pre-1990) was the entry requirement for this one, and most likely it'll be set as post-1990 for a future meet (keep an eye on the Facebook page for more details).
As expected, fewer cars overall turned up, but as they were all of pre-1990 design and/or build, it actually made for a less frenetic, and (for us) more interesting assortment of cars to look at. It also seems to have had the effect of encouraging older cars that we've not seen at Combermere before to make the journey over, so hopefully that'll be a trend that continues when future pre-1990s meets are scheduled.
Highlights included a wonderfully oily-rag pre-war Riley Lynx, Daimler DB18, Morgan three-wheeler, a whisper-quiet two-tone Rolls-Royce plus a later Silver Shadow in red, an early De Tomaso Pantera, and a magnificent 1920s Crossley saloon. An Austin A35 that had just completed a pan-European road trip raising money for an air ambulance charity also made an appearance, as did many other fine old cars. It was also an opportunity to take our '40s pickup out for a run after a few issues last time out (see Royal Oak video for details!!).

I agree on best of show as the Riley Lynx. What a survivor. I love the verdi gris on the grill shell!
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 🙂
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.
It was a more laid back meet for sure
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 .
Great video
E type still does it for me😊😊
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.
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.
thank you with best wishes
Loved seeing the Porsche 914. It looks exactly like the one I owned in 1979.
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.
Small world eh! That little car certainly gets around
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. 👍👍
I agree, some kind of criteria can make sense when there's limited space available
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!
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.
Hillman Imps always struck me as being a very neat looking car.
👍👍👍👍👍
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?
By all means email me a scan over rj@oldclassiccar.co.uk and I'll take a look
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.
Interesting stuff, that reminds me (but on a grander scale) of the arduous production of the Hillman Imp here in the UK

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 :)
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.
Quality over quantity wins again..👍
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?
