1986 Motor Show - Day 1 - Nigel Mansell - Birmingham NEC

[@pit_stop77]

I remember 1986, I was 21 and full of enthusiasm for my life ahead. And here i am 38 years later. Something went wrong 😂

[@user-fh1rz1uq6c]

Exactly the same here, at least we can laugh about it

[@grsport1426]

[@jm374]

Yes ... these days Autos boring

Not 1 Chinese car in sight

Thank you for this. My father took me to that show when I was 13. He passed away a few days ago so this was a wonderful memory revisited 🙏

[@MontyMotorsport]

Glad my upload sparked memories for you. Watching these programmes back in '86, resulted in me going to my first motorshow in 1988 with dad. We went by train from Cornwall direct to the NEC. Dad passed away 10 years ago this month 🙏

[@RichyB1]

@@MontyMotorsportsorry for your loss, glad we both have fatherly memories. The Ford and Jaguar stands were the stand outs for me this show. Ford gave away so much merchandise it was brilliant. Came home with bags and bags full of stuff. Shame they stopped doing the NEC and Earls Court shows. Fond memories 🍻

[@Fizzbomb123]

Sorry to hear about your loss, my father passed away in 2020 and he had been taking me to motor shows in both Earls Court and NEC, miss him so much.

The era when car exhibitions were still exciting, innovative, and interesting.

I ❤love these 80’s Car Shows Especially with the Fiat Croma 1985 Car In As Well / Lancia THEMA / Alfa Romeo 164 T Spark Cars / Saab 9000 all the Type 4 Cars my Favourite of all Time

[@jamesmiller3142]

Very good. Thank you

[@iainmacleod4007]

How many of these show cars have escaped the crusher after 38 years? Not many I suspect.

[@version736ha2]

All those car scrappage save the planet initiatives from our benovelent leaders killed so many nice motors😢

[@adams7405]

47k for a 560 Mercedes...an EV cost that now!

[@adams7405]

Quite a few mk2 Golf's and E32 BMW still about...I imagine the 560 Mercedes is still about

[@YBM2007]

The fancy ones are prob still here in some shape or form unless they've been in an accident or rotted away

[@paulyflyer8154]

Take me back to 86 please

[@dappergent9422]

Me too please.

[@chrispenn715]

From a time when I found cars exciting..... I went to the 86 show and a few years later bought an XJ40. Today's cars are more like domestic appliances; hard to get excited about a washing machine on wheels..... 😂

[@marc87supra]

I wasn’t even born in ‘86, but completely agree. 99% of todays cars do nothing for me, my favourite daily is my ‘02 530i, my Sunday car is a ‘97 F355 with a lovely gated manual and my track car is a Caterham 7, I also have a couple of E38 7 series and my newest car is my ‘11 RR Vogue. I’ve tried and had newer cars but nearly none do anything for me(although some of the American stuff is still great, most notably the Corvette and the Challenger).

[@eddie7167]

I remember my uncle getting a new XJ40 in '86, very nice

[@Crazy1Clive]

RIP Mike Smith: very good live presenter who could do pretty much anything.

[@Fizzbomb123]

Is he dead?

Top TV interview technique - always tell your guest that his suit is shit

[@tonydry8189]

1986 was my 2nd year working for Lucas in Birmingham, now I'm retired and in between the British car components business simply got eliminated, eg I went from Lucas to LucasVarity, to TRW then ZF with Aerospace in between eg Goodrich & Rolls-Royce, cant say i miss it these days but 86 I remember going to the NEC and dreaming about an Aston Martin.....

[@medicus1963]

You have been working for the Prince of darkness? 😂

[@CJDiecast]

That 7-Series still holds up today. Such a good-looking car. I'm sure the design was ahead of its time too.

[@ksturmer5388]

LOL! Even the camera doesn't like the Rover 800 Sterling!!!

I tuned in just to see the 800 🙃

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

I was 7 years old in '86 and i remember seeing new cars on a D reg plate Volvo 240. Those were the days, where cars looked so different, from each other.

[@piledriverpotter9847]

In the autumn of 86 I was in my last year in school. I had a Saturday job at a local Volvo dealership as a petrol pump attendant and I remember a brand new D reg Volvo 740 Turbo in the showroom. Absolutely stunning car. I remember the price on the windscreen. It was 16 grand.

[@skyworks1621]

80s and 90s were so amazing. I was growing up and my parents had/changed so many cars from Golf GTD, Nissan Patrol, Mercedes 190 E, Nissan Micra, BMW 320, 525, Audi 80..... I was so into cars, good times... and now I drive a Tesla 😊

[@medicus1963]

Jaguar build such beautiful cars. And the first series of Range Rovers: I like them so much. This was the only Range Rover.

My Brother and I went to this show as kids, my brother sat in a Saab 9000 he kept of playing with the electric seat adjusters on the drivers seat , he ended up braking it in the reclined position, the demo guy was really pissed with us, we hot tailed it out of the stand.

The conceptual basis of today's automotive electronics was invented in the 1980s, that is, today's electronics were what had been researched, designed and put into experimentation in the 1980s.

At 3:15 he start saying America is the most important market to prestige cars. O times run fast now China determines the success of car brands.

[@easydrive3662]

Many of the cars shown in this clip are actually now modern classics with values increasing! Something is very obvious from this video and that is that the vast majority of these motor cars look superb compared to todays ugly fat bulbous motors that have no beautiful lines and style whatsoever! Roads today just clogged up with them stupid SUV things! Cars of the 80s and 90s have character!
