- @hagertyclassiccarsuk3102 organised RADwood 2022 at Bicester Heritage, and it was a delightful celebration of all things 1980s/1990s - retro cars, retro clothing and even retro gaming! There were replicas of vehicles from the A Team, Back to the Future, Robocop, Ghostbusters and Knight Rider as well as a Motocompo, Sinclair C5, Mitsubishi Cordia, Skylines, a Peugeot 405 Mi16 and much more!

Hagerty seems to always organise great events!
The most pleasing thing about the show and channel is people preserving the perceived ordinary cars. In essence, every day utility transport being saved. Wonderful.
I love the idea of merging 80s cars with the Vaporwave/synthwave style. So much potential. Good inspiration for my Citroen BX Gti
It is nice to see that 1980's/1990's themed car show go to the UK. In the USA, going to one of those RADwood shows (there is about 3 or 4 of them each year in the USA) you would see basically a USA version of the festival of the unexceptional you just went to since there would be plenty of Chevy Cavaliers (especially the convertible), GM FWD A Bodies (Chevy Celebrity, Pontiac 6000, Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera), Toyota Camry, Honda Civics, GM RWD A/G Bodies, Ford Tempo and Taurus etc. These are all cars that you would have seen a lot of on the roads back then and that there are still a lot of them on the roads even now (that Toyota Camry, you just sold onwards, you would still see plenty of the the sedan version (92-96) on the road doing daily driving duty) of course I should caution that the UK/Euro perception (of that time) that most Americans drove shiny new cars in the 1980's and 1990's is false. Yes a a lot of American did drive modern cars at that time but a lot of them also drove older cars. There were still plenty of 1960's and 1970's cars doing daily driving in the 1980's(there were even some late 1950's cars still rolling around then also) and plenty of 1970's and 1980's cars doing daily driving into the 1999-2001 time period (my first car in the late 1990's was a 1980 Chevy Malibu). Folks kept cars longer. Watch TV shows and movies from the 1980's and 1990's and you will still see a lot of older cars in the background. I think the difference with American cars and UK cars of the1970's, 1980's and 1990's is that while US cars were gas hogs and did not give a great drive (you were not taking winding roads in a 1988 Caprice Classic), they were somewhat reliable and easy to fix if there was an issue. In the UK, the average owner of a 1970's and 1980's British Leyland vehicle, probably wondered each morning as he or she got in it to go to work, if the car would start or whether they needed to hitch a ride to work.
Oh, I didn't know this was a thing! I've seen coverage of the US ones for however long it's been going on and hoped it would come here, glad to see it has!
Some of these cars are beautiful.
Only just seen this video, it’s a really thorough review of the day! Mine was (is) the green E36 M3 convertible, cheers for the kind words 👍🏽
Amazing knowledge of practically every car made -great channel
Fanstatic show, thank you for sharing
That red cavalier Sri was stunning. If it's still the original paint then it must be the only red Vauxhall of that era not to have faded!
This theme brings together a beautiful collection!
The Maserati Quattroporte, at 31:32 , still about the most beautiful cohesively styled car ever, to my eyes.
I always thought they were massively underrated. Would love one.
G60 rally!! Perfection.
My partner had a B3 Audi 90. Nautikblau, same wheels as the red one in the video, 2.3 10v, no quattro, and the late 4 speed automatic. Unfortunately the K-Jetronic kept acting up so he had to sell it. He did make a profit on it though! He now drives a second generation TT, which is less rare but far more reliable so far. And the fact it has more space inside is also a massive plus to us as we often move audio equipment.
This looks another impressive event by the Hagerty guys. Might have to go along to this show. If someone could bring along a retro Scalextric track with the period cars brought out in the 80's and 90's that would be extra fun, anyone remember the turbo flash F1 cars or F1 cars with real sparks?
@21.45 It's a very specail edition Golf GT Rallye only very few made. One of these was featured in the recent video of the late brake show...
Anyhow enjoyed the video thanks for the show report!!
A brilliant video well done most enjoyable 👌👌👌
Another excellent coverage of a car show in this great country of owners who love 1980's/1990's cars, well done Mr HubNut.
Looks like a brilliant event Ian and lots of lovely cars🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Ian, gutted I couldn’t be there, looks to be another good Hagerty event. Loved the 80s Japanese content! Isuzu Piazza and a Subaru SVX in the same place, unbelievable!
Absolutely fantastic video Ian 👍another field of dreams so many cars gone and the exceptional ones that lasted true testament to cars of the time built proper
Distinct lack of Maestro’s & Montego’s
Yes. A Maestro Turbo would have fitted in very well.
Funnily enough, I was thinking about Montegos earlier on.
About 5 Vanden Plas' (registered?) examples left on UK roads :(
MG Montego Turbo would have been really nice to see, but even something like the 1.6 L/HL (or the VERY rare 1.3) would have been a surprise...
Maestros...I suppose they have their fans too...
Saw a lovely blue example a few years ago (B or E reg - can't remember), but I couldn't believe it's fantastic condition.
I know both cars' designs were extensively reused (especially with that freakish "hybrid" of the two in China), but there really should be a factory manual released so that they could even be rebuilt from the ground up.
Wow what a fantastic collection of 80's & 90's motors. There were plenty of cars that I recognised & those that I didn't. I look forward to seeing the next interesting Hubnut Video.
If Miss HubNut does a video on Kidwelly, you would be able to witness a rather magnificent Beige Saab 90.
Great selection of cars, the ending point of individual model identity, before every car started to look the same. Bet Mr Furious was down in dumps, what with being parked next to that lovely 123 😁. Apreciate the time taken 👍
What a variety of cars tested your knowledge to the max everingthing from Suzuki Capachinoes to Vauxhall (Holden) Monaro and ute what a show
The Corolla at 07:35 was a really popular car over here in South Africa. Toyota fan boys over here would wet their sheets over that mint example especially with that 4AGE
Hope to be here September 2nd 2023 in My AE92 Corolla GTi-16v, Seems to be a complete lack of them, Thank for for spending a FEW seconds on the AE82 Corolla Gt Hatch,
Hopefully you will give me more than a Nano Second of Air Time
The scene in Ghostbusters where Ray brings Ecto to the firehouse for the first time and lists off the issues is so Hubnut.
Thanks HN another show I couldn’t justify going to, but your wonderful report took me there.
How did i not know about this event ..it's less than an hour from me
I didn’t seem that well advertised. I knew it was on but still struggled to find tickets / information. A number of other people said the same to me. Shame really as it has the potential to be a huge event.
Great show! I was also on a classic car meeting in my neighbourhood; just 10 miles from my house. Nice to see my friends with their old Opels and Citroëns and NSU Ro 80. And three Citroën Traction Avant on the event! That's really rare, here in Porsche and Mercedes county... Thanks Ian... 👍👍👍
really enjoyed this event! was great to talk after you filmed the e30 and z1 too
Nice to meet you!
The Silver Holden Ute isn't the HSV Maloo. It is a Holden VE Ute SS-V (possibly redline) with the 6L (l77) V8. HSV's are like Alpinas they are considered a different marque and as such have different badges, rear lights, bumpers and grills. The E series Maloo's used the LS2 and later the LS3 6L V8s. As for the Monaro I suspect it's a Vauxhall Monaro with a Holden Badge on the front and an HSV badge on the rear. Vauxhall spec Monaros are identical to Holden Monaros whereas the HSV's aren't called Monaro they were called HSV Coupe and had different front grill, bumper and lights and a different rear.
That Cavalier Calibre is a beauty and such a rare find, highlight of the video for me
Gutted i didnt make it to this. Will be there next year for sure. Would also love to display my restored Saab 9000 Aero 2.3T.
80s 90s the start of the Technology revolution
Hats off to you Ian that is one heck of a broad spread of car model knowledge. Great coverage👍
What a great show report a varied selection of cars on display, well done to Eddie and Bernie for the win with the Pulsar. Sure I seen pictures of that green Deloren on one of the car spotted pages earlier this week.
Interesting comment on Peugeot 16v. I was amazed to see a BX 16v bumper on eBay a couple of years ago, saying the BX was a donor to a 205. The BX registration was my dad’s company car back in the day- F165TBK. Company insurance mad enough to cover me to do many naughty things back in the day. What a car👍
Gutted I missed this one some really special rarities great show commentary as always
Thank you, Ian, for another enjoyable show report. Those of us in the states who are not familiar with some of these cars can get an education :)
Never heard of this show until I was people chatting about it on that there Twitter. Looks a lot of fun and love the commitment to dressing up too
Another excellent job Hub Nut
Will try and get along in 2023.looks like a,good day
I could really see Miss Hubnut with a Cincuecento Sporting. As well as Chemy of course.....
I really need another Prelude!
They are superb things.
@@HubNut Long time since I saw a first-gen Prelude. You mush have a look at the gauges next time you're near one. Concentric needles!
Hi Ian thanks for your tour a lot of very nice car's
another great video has always Ian and miss hubnut and hublets and hubmutts 👍
I love how the main point of interest for HubNut in Ferraris is the pantograph wipers 👍
I think my favourite car in this video was the mark 2 Cavalier SRi. Also liked the Rover 600 series parked next to Gisele. Oh - and Gisele of course. 😉
Didn't see any Volvo 440 or 460 series sadly, for which I have a soft spot for.
Superb video ian.
Loving the mk2 sri cavalier.
Still wanting to see an early astra mk2 gte 16v pre cat in bordeaux red.
22:42 Here's a little bit of trivia for you: The GT /147 actually shared the same platform and are easily confused. Brilliant video, Ian! 👍
Wow a Cordia, ist time on the channel I think, Haha I used to have some fun in mine, Silver colour
We saw you on your way to this on Friday afternoon, we were following you in a bright yellow and green 1987 badgerline coach!
Ah yes! I did clock that. Big old beast.
I like the R33 the most of the well known Skylines. Of all the GT-R's, I would always go for the Kenmeri (KPGC110) in white. One of the most beautiful cars of all time.
Nice to see the fiat's well represented at the show. Really underrated cars that only a few of us still love. I've a cinquecento sporting hiding away, future project that was bought for a few hundred quid and it will join my cinquecento s that I'll never sell because it's an honest little car full of character.
The G60 Rally also had 4WD
The green VW Corrado may have been the limited edition runout model, the Corrado VR6 Storm, quite rare.
I would love to drive/own that XJ40 XJR! Top video, thank you!
Back in the 90s, I had a model Ferarri Testarossa, it went rock climbing quite often in the garden... :P
Love the music choice!
Ok so a few of my car's in recent vids. I did own Cinqicento Sporting, 1.3mk2 Golf CL and an Alfa 33 but no sign in recent vids of Fiat Tipo, 1st gen Renault Laguna and Renault 19. Really enjoyed driving in the 80s and 90s.
Another great video thank u
Along with the Nissan Exa. Another car we had here in South Africa. Not in convertible form though if I am correct. Most don't have exist as they just rusted away. Along with the late 1980s Nissan Sentra.
I think Ian mentioned in the Dutch video that the convertible is exceedingly rare.
I'm at 0:51 and I see shiny modern cars and slick camera work. I am obviously on the wrong channel.
The guy in the black and blue jumpsuit at 38:54 won raddest dressed for me. A real mullet!
Did all Piazzas have Lotus input on chassis design? The Holden version has a reputation for only being able to in a straight line & not being able to stop.
No. Handling by Lotus came after a few years I believe.
This could be a figment of my addled brain but I have some idea they had "handling by Lotus" on the back. Might just have been an advertising slogan.
If it happened, it must have been late in the model cycle. I was disappointed when they arrived in Australia as, apart from the eye-watering price, the testers complained about the poor handling. Holden Geminis (the Piazza was based on the T-car) had had Radial-Tuned Suspension for some time (as for all Holdens) so to have the 'sports' coupe with inferior handling was a let down. Very few sold here. Cannot remember when I last saw one.
Managed to get the pug 309 to fotu this year but couldn’t make this. Hopefully I’ll have my Piazza on the road for this next year. If not I’ll come in the vette. Looks a great show.
It was a nice event. I'll definitely go again next year if they do it again. Ian missed my car on the walk round. I think we must have turned up just a few minutes after he finished the main block of cars.
I did miss some cracking motors. A gorgeous Mitsubishi Galant arrived after I'd left.
Another great video Ian. My take away from this is the BMW Z1 with the drop down doors, back in the very late 80's or early 90's I don't remember exactly I was on a motorcycle run in Germany were we spotted a Z1, the driver was very kind enough to take me for a run in it and it was fantastic. A wonderful experience although it took a wile to get the knots out of my then 2 foot long hair at the time. If I recall correctly this was one of the first BMW production cars that used ground effects.
This is the first time I have ever seen such a thing. Would love to see how r the doors come up….
@@peterriggall8409 I can't remember exactly but I do remember that the windows had to go down as the doors recessed to get in, there as always going to be a high sill to get over to get in though. Maybe there is a YT video of this as I'm sure there was a review on an old Top Gear or similar TV show around the time if I recall.
Yes, the rear exhaust silencer is shaped to help smooth airflow under the car.
The window and door are on a linked mechanism, there are a few vids on RUclips, pretty sure I’ve seen one with the mechanism exposed. Window drops into door then door drops, all in a nice smooth movement.
The blue Fiat Coupe looks like the resto done by Neil at Italia Autos
Looks like an awesome event! Its so nice to see colourful and interesting cars! Tempted to try find a cheap 90s something to mean we can go next year but it's not really what our fleet needs 😂
Excellent video!!!
Lovely looking event.
That Peugeot 106 Rallye at 36:36 is "Pepe 2" from fellow youtuber Number 27. Didn't know he would put it up for sale so quickly though.
Hubnut at its best !
Awesome cars.x
ZX coupe! My dad has Datsuns/nissans when I was a lad but always the base engine versions. I really wanted a ZX Coupe when I started driving despite knowing there were plenty of better options. Something about wanting a better version of what I was used to maybe? Great video - looked like a fantastic day out.
I was hoping to spot Richard Porter in the background somewhere...LOL
Extra for the rear wiper, that was one of the extras I wanted added to my new Astra in early 80s and when I added the extras like that up, it was only an extra few quid to get the 1.6L that came with all those extras AND had the bigger engine... Weird!
Yay you spotted my r32 next to the r33
excellent intro and some more on that loan a classic program would be interesting
Shoutout to the golf at 16:00 . I saw it surrounded by more police cars than wheels on the way home!
That is also period correct then ;)
UAU would love to go to something like this one day with my 309 Graffic.
Some pretty amazing stuff there! I was actually hoping to spot at least one Volvo 480 tho.... Pity!
@27:28 odd bit of trivia concerning the white JDM Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno. The name Trueno looks like it should be pronounced True-no even though it's derived from the Spanish truenos for thunder, but in Japan it's always pronounced Toreno due to the limits of Japanese people in pronouncing the foreign word.
Watched it through twice in case I missed anything. So many memories. And side comment … didn’t the 309GTI in gunmetal 2 door look ‘purposeful’ …
Aww I could have gone in my 96 Omega.
Nice, I was parked next to you in the Rover 600!🙂👍
Lovely example!
@@HubNut Thank you, Love your Citroen😎
Spotted you a couple of times yesterday Ian, but didn’t say Hi. Was a great day 👌🏼
I watched to see if you wandered past my car! You did, blue P-plate E39 😂. So pleased it featured!
348 is my favourite Ferrari by far. I was sad when Hoovie sold his 'hooptie' 348.
Impressive car model knowledge. Audi RS2 though!
Thanks. I always lose my way with the powerful stuff...
@@HubNutI was willing you to comment on the full width tailgate reflector
Yes, it did start very professionally. I had to check I was on the right channel……😆
It was great day out. I didn’t know you guys were there ..doh
Ian do you know if there is the same kind of meetings in France with 1980s and 1990s cars? In the uk you always have the best
Afraid I don't. There is one in The Netherlands, but probably 250 cars from what I've been told.
@@HubNut I will try to go to your country then. You are very lucky to be there
Anorak TIme, The Holden Monaro was sold as a 5.7L V8 or a very rare 3.8L V6. The HSV's (LS1 ? LS2? ) were sold as a HSV GTS or a HSV GTO depending on spec level (both V8). Vauxhall sold them inthe UK as V8's as did Pontiac in the US, again as the Pontiac GTO. There was a very rare HSV AWD version which only sold 30 - 50 units. Technically HSV never sold a "Monaro"
Thank you. I mistook the Holden badge for HSV. Too long since I was in Aus!
@@HubNut Ian, you are of a very similar age, AS you walk around with these video's , I , In my head are saying most of the car models, We grew up with them. My other Anorak subject is the British Daimler Company, given how many club meetings I attended in my youth :)
@HubNut
Will you, with or without your wonderful array of vehicles, be attending the Goodwood Revival next month...
It looks like I'll be wandering around there on the Saturday.
@@HubNut That's a shame, we have tickets for the Friday. It's going be a great weekend never the less. Would have been even better to meet you after following your videos for so long...
I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!
I'm sure there will be. We must get some Socials organised.
Radwood Seattle is Next Saturday
Sadly not going to make that. Would love to come over for one of the US shows though! One day...
ROBOCOP!!!
Apparently I've never seen it...
Please could you try to get hold of a Citroen e-Mahari from Citroen and do a road test. I believe there may be two in the country. Not sure if they available as press cars or for review but it would make a great video for your channel if you can.
