A Slightly Shambolic Shuffle: 2023 NEC Practical Classics Restoration Show - Part One of Fifteen

[@Pauljn67]

Youre off and running again Sir!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Filmed six parts today, sir, more to come tomorrow!

[@T16MGJ]

Geoff was impressive. Well on the Ball all things Motoring. Good show all aspects.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

This is just part one, sir, I have filmed thirteen so far, three are live on the channel right now.

[@David_H-73]

Enjoyable first part and good to Geoff Buys Cars. I do like that Fiesta Popular Plus even though I would be more partial to a Ghia.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, we are always partial to a Ghia specification Ford, although this will do for now....

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Great to see Mr Hunter, I love the banter between you two. So glad Mr Hunter's Channel is growing and I agree with his ethos about keeping his car running and the ULEZ, 15 minute city's, low traffic areas much like yourself. Is that Lyndon as in Alex's Asset Lyndon?? You need to get to get a shot of this Talbot. One of my favourite cars was the NSU Prinz. Into the Auction where I never ventured some of my favourites had to be the blue Sunbeam Stiletto, what a gorgeous colour Lovely looking Popular Plus, nice to see a early example, think it was the Popular that never came with a rear wiper. A great first part sir, now away onto Part 2

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, that was Lyndon's Talbot. I had heard about it but never seen it. Mr Hunter and I can just flow like this all day, it was completely unprepared. I really don't like the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and Ultra Low Emission Zones.... The NSU Prinz Sport was amazing, as were the Stiletto and Fiesta Popular Plus, which didn't sell for nearly as much as I would have expected!

[@JJay-p1x]

Thanks for the tour of the show Mr Lloyd. I particularly enjoyed the banter between you and Geoff. Great to see you can have a sense of humour and still make a serious point. ULEZ , its disgusting that so many people have been forced to sell cars they don't want to just to appease a certain persons own mission of imposing their own self importance on them and what's to say they can afford to replace the car with something that fits the bill. Its a wonder that society hast decided to curb humour altogether but its doing what it can. Liked the slippery slop. Well done Geoff for the digs. I have not really seen any of his videos before although i have seen them pop up. I will now take more interest. Good tour Sir, well done. Thanks to people such as yourself i have been able to visit these shows through your you tube posts that i would not otherwise have afforded to do.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Well, this is just the first part of a huge number of videos, I have filmed thirteen so far, of which three are live on the channel, with two more to come tomorrow. Mr Hunter has had a lot of success with his recent channel videos, and I am sure that he will continue to do so.

[@mpersad]

Great video, sir, and lovely to see Geoff!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I had to make sure that I went to his stand soon after arriving, as he wasn't around for very long!

[@JJay-p1x]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting Was that through a fear he would be removed for not being politically correct?

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

No, he had to attend an event in Lindisfarne!

[@Glamrock01]

6 parts, excellent sir...

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Six parts today, probably the same to come from tomorrow and Sunday too.

[@camperlustig68]

Good Evening Sir!! On with the show😊

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Part Two should be available for channel members soon, sir.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Excellent MR Lloyd

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

One down, sir, maybe seventeen to go.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

@Lloyd Vehicle Consulting Hope you have comfortable footwear, and take good care of your feet.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

My lady wife bought me some shoes at the end of last year, sir.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting That's excellent, you do cover great distances on these Slightly Shambolic Shuffles.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Keeps one going, sir...

[@GeoffBuysCars]

Another quality video!!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

And we had fun too, sir, didn't we?

[@frothe42]

Excellent job Joseph, great presentation!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

We aim to please, sir! Lots more to come over the next couple of weeks.

[@seancooke7332]

That Fiesta Popular Plus is something that used to be on every street, every school run, every supermarket car park, almost every independent motor forecourt. Lovely in red too

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes sir, and it only sold for £2025 in the auction as well, which seems a bit low to me...

[@badbooks476]

Thankyou for sharing Sir. Unusual body kit & spoiler on the mk1 Golf, very nice 911’s

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, standard Campaign bodykit, I think! Glad you enjoyed this first part of many...

[@badbooks476]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting body kit & spoiler not standard on a Campaign, possibly dealer fit but look clumsy in my opinion

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I wouldn't know, sir.

[@robbrady4649]

Excellent shuffle Sir. At 10:45 early Sunbeam Lotus had the Chrysler pentastar badge on the front grill.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, I thought so. I think the later facelifted ones had the Talbot logo.

[@robbrady4649]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting Even some pre-face lift Sunbeams had the Talbot grill badge. I'm not sure when the change over was. Perhaps someone out there can inform us. I'm under the impression the early recessed headlamps were straight from the Hillman Avenger. The bigger headlamps on the face lifted cars may have been from the updated Avenger or another car in the Talbot range.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I wouldn't know, sir, but those facelifted Sunbeams weren't around for very long, although there was a Y registration one I saw yesterday at the show as well without a front end....

[@WheelchairWonders]

Joseph.. see you there tomorrow..(Phil)

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Well sir, it may happen, but you know how it goes with the Slightly Shambolic Shuffles, got to keep going....

[@WheelchairWonders]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting Yes Joseph, I didn't see you but it was still a great day out. (Phil)

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I am afraid that is just the way it goes, as I have filmed thirteen parts so far!

[@roygardiner2229]

I think you excel at auctions. It works very well!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, this is only the first part, I have filmed thirteen so far!

[@focusrssteve]

Thank you Mr Lloyd, I was hoping to make it this year, but my dad's been taken ill and I've had to go up to help, so your shambolic shuffle will have to be my visit, so again thank you sir!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sorry to hear about your father, sir! That is a real shame. I hope that you will enjoy all parts of this series, I have filmed thirteen so far.

[@stefencooke]

Good start to the shuffle sir hope to make it to the motorist at the end of April so hope to see u there

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

We aim to please, sir! Many more parts to come from this show, I can assure you.

[@Andy-eo3mq]

I do enjoy your slightly shambolic shuffles. 🙂 Will you be going to FOTU this year? 🙂

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I am afraid so, sir... Much Shambolic Shuffling will doubtless occur again.

[@Andy-eo3mq]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting Fantastic to hear! I'm hoping to be there meself, so I'll keep an eye out for you! 🙂

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, you know the rules, got to get round everything in a ridiculous number of videos, so probably not too much time for socialising, I am afraid.

[@Andy-eo3mq]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting That's fair enough, I'll be happy just to say hello. 🙂

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

You are very kind, sir!

[@richardhowlett9424]

The loneliest railway station ! Maybe everyone thought they were on strike .

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I just happened to arrive at the back of the station in Coventry at a quiet time. I hope that you enjoyed your visit yesterday, sir.

[@richardhowlett9424]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting I did , Sir

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sorry that I couldn't stop, sir, you know how it goes!

[@Mighty_Cat_Mods]

We hope those gay lads are there again with their Sunbeam Rapier.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Don't know if it will be there, sir, but we will find out...

[@GeoffBuysCars]

We both need to invest in proper microphones 😂😂😂

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

It's fine to use my ancient, but handily light and compact, Sony Xperia for the Slightly Shambolic Shuffles unless I wish to speak to anyone else. Then it all goes wrong.
