A Quintessential English Village Event - Vintage Power Day at Pakenham Watermill

On the Triumph Bonneville T100 to a quintessential English Village Event. Summer has arrived and all over the English countryside Villages are hosting fetes, shows, open days and events of every kind. Fresh back for our holiday and Mrs TAYM recovering from a hen night, I ventured out to a local village event organised and held by Pakenham Watermill. It was the Vintage Power Day. I didnt know what to expect but assumed tractors, cars, steam engines and the like. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video of what I found there.

Awesome vlog TAYM thank you 👏😌. And... never apologise for being yourself, it's part of your endearing character! Regards, Mo 😊👍.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Mo 😁

289 cubic inch...

[@TAYM]

Thanks David, that makes more sense 😁 so about 225 bhp?

[@chrisweeks6973]

That was a lovely day out! The Mustang with the 289; the number refers to the engine size in cubic inches, so 289 cu.in equals 4.7 litres. The Alvis is a late model TC 21 Grey Lady; the early models had painted window frames, rather than the chrome ones that this car has, so it's either a late-1954 or a '55 model. The Morris Eight is a Series E, made 1938-48; we had a 1947 Morris Ten Series M. The D-prefix (1986/7) Morgan looks like the +4 model, but that's a guess! The grey Jaguar is either a Mark VIII or a Mark IX; the only external difference is the badge on the boot lid; Jaguar was originally the Swallow Sidecar Company. The Rover P5B finishing line used to be below my office window when I worked at the Solihull factory, back in 1971/2. Lovely car, that! 👍Singer Motors (who made bicycles and motorcycles up until WWI) were taken over by Rootes Group in in 1956.

[@TAYM]

Wow😁 great comment and fantastic information 😁 thanks Chris 😁

[@MrMomo182]

That music is wonderful!

[@TAYM]

😂😂 thanks MrMo😁

[@dungspreader]

Lovely day out TAYM , thanks for taking us along . I enjoyed seeing the little Austin 7 parked between the " High and Mighty " cars . All of them are great though and very interesting seeing how cars developed from the early years . The unique engineering and the distinctive styling of the various marques . And nothing made "on the cheap" from China . Mmn . Have we progressed ? Not really . Old vehicles are our Time Machines and therefore very precious .

[@TAYM]

Couldn’t agree more 😁 thanks DS 😁

[@volt8684]

Used to have a mini steam engine as a toy as a kid, the smell and seeing it move. Had a little burner u put turps in. My god now be health and safety and parents sueing the makers. Did anyone else have one. What will become of these old beauties with govt fuel plans

[@TAYM]

Thanks Volt 😁 a lot of my mates had them but I could never afford one and the price of them now still means I can’t 😂😂😂 Mamod steam traction engine I think they were called 😁 like you say, health and safety these days 🙄 can you imagine the warning labels that would be needed 😂😂😂

[@brettgeiger4863]

Keep talking your way, we love it. Good to see the English countryside. All the best from Aus 👍🏼

[@TAYM]

Thanks Brett 😁

[@glynmumby104]

Hi Mr. TAYM, Totally enjoyed this video. Great to see your world and your local events. What made this video good was that you found time to chat to one or two of the owners of the vehicles. This adds greatly to the interest for us. Just a couple of snippets of info from the owners adds a great deal and a lot of the owners are right characters usually. Don't spend the 19p all at once. Thanks again. Looking forward to more mutters. Glyn and Neil M.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Glyn and Neil 😁 yes, unfortunately they usually become much more willing to talk when the camera is off or at the other end can’t stop when it’s on😂😂

[@throttle_up]

What a splendid display of peoples' passion and dedication. Don't worry about all the "marvellous"s. We all know that's what the "M" in "TAYM" really stands for. 😉

[@TAYM]

Thanks TU 😁

[@daintree2455]

Great that,lots of lovely old Jags and who doesn't like an orange tractor. We had orange Allis Chalmers when i was a little kid, lovely old think but she did try to kill dad a few times...not to be messed with tractors bit like wives haha.Thanks TAYM.

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂 yes, I have had a few old tractors and my current ‘modern’ international 454 constantly injures me and occasionally attempts to kill me 😂😂 so just like Mrs TAYM 😂😂 thanks Dain 😁

[@russellfisher3629]

Only one thing to say about this wonderful video, Marvelous 😊

[@TAYM]

Thanks Russell 😁 you are very kind 😁

What a unique little show. The mini Steam engines were brilliant. So slow, smooth and quiet. I want one now 😂😂.

[@TAYM]

Wonderful. Its the Citroen 2cv for me please. Thanks for taking us along. Ride safe👍

Thanks Shottos 😁

[@pinkiewerewolf]

What a wonderful show! Loved the eclectic collection of vehicles, motorcycles, and engines. The car next to the yellow Corvette reminded me of Cully's car on Midsommer Murders. (I'm a mad fan. I have them all on disc.) The Alvis was so cool! 😎 I miss my Mustang GT from the 90's. My ex-trashed it, my 2000 Mitsubishi Montero, along with totaling two of my Ford Rangers. AAA made me sign a paper saying she couldn't operate my vehicles after that. Crazy days. Thanks for taking us along Mr TAYM!

[@TAYM]

Thanks PW 😁 sounds like you managed to escape purgatory 😂😂😂 love midsommer Murders 😁

[@tenorbanjoguy]

Uber cool!!! Don’t forget Splendififous!!!!!😂😂 what do you use for voice capture when you are off bike like this???

[@TAYM]

Thanks TBG 😁 I just use the GoPro 10 with the media mod switched to the back facing camera 😁

[@daviddavies5347]

No! I do like pre ‘40’s cars! But nothing much after that. So, you should have bought it me as a present for all the ‘hurt’ you put me through! 😒

Lovely little show. Seeing an Alvis parked next to a Morris 8 bought back some memories. For my first car I had a choice of an Alvis or a Morris 8. The Alvis owner wanted 30 punds for it and I only had 25, the Morris was 20 so Morris 8 it was. Thinking back on it as a new driver aged 18 the Alvis would have been a bit too much car for me. They were a lovely brand of car though.

[@TAYM]

Bloody marvellous choice of cars though 😁 bet you wish you still had it 😁 thanks Colin 😁

[@cyelland5064]

Smashing Mr taym. A car that didn't get a mention was the Morris minor. Had a 1956,a brilliant little car.👍. Chris

[@TAYM]

Yes, they were very popular a few years ago but you don’t see many about now. Topcat has one but the traveller version 😁 thanks Chris 😁

[@GapBahnDirk]

That was wonderful viewing. It was a pleasure to see the vintage cars without having to physically go to the village show. I liked them all, including the Rover 3500👍👍.

[@TAYM]

Thanks GBD 😁 I should think your village events are pretty spectacular in a different way, full of colour 😁

[@hobnob15]

Morning TAYM well I must say these “Tay mite meets” are getting more diverse 😜 looked a great day out shame mrs TAYM wasn’t with you, thanks for taking us with you👍🏻 carry on that man Caio for now tat ta 👍🏻

Thanks for keeping me sane with your vlogs Taym, 90% of my retirement is spent looking after the dog, can’t remember the last time I was out on my bikes, maybe look to getting an outfit for one and some goggles for the dog and take him with me ! ☺️

[@TAYM]

Absolutely perfect solution 😁 so many do that 😁 thanks AS 😁

[@gvinrad]

The radiator cap mounted temperature guage seen on some vintage & veteran cars is called a Motometer Taym, very popular on American cars & the more exclusive British makes.
