"Older" Pop Richard here, that model Connie (2.59) I need that, wonderful (good that I wasn't there or temptation & then divorce????)

[@LouisF38]

Rick, I've recently become positively hooked on your channel. Never a dull video all loaded with an amazing cast of vehicles, and love your format of presentation. So nice to see the father/son bonding round the love of cars. I have learned so much via your storehouse of automobilia knowledge surrounding Old Classic Cars, and now better understand the significance of all my late 60s-70s Lesney Matchboxes, Corgis, and Dinky Toys (wish I still had them) Thank you for appreciating and highlighting the odd bits of old Yank iron that burble in at these great shows as well! It's a bobby dazzler!

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks for your kind words, glad the vids are of interest

21:11 Mazda 323: Sold in the United States as the “GLC”[ Great Little Car]. I had a blue one, just like this. My old boss defaulted on my paycheck, so gave me the car instead. It actually was a good car. 22:08: WOW, Stunning Bentley‼️. Very unusual color combo. I like it. It’s surprising to me, in all these shows, just how many TVR cars there are. They must have sold quite well, and must have been well made. 📻🙂

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Re TVRs they've always had a loyal following, and the fibreglass bodywork has helped survivor numbers I guess (the chassis can still rust though)

CHEERS from WESTCOAST CANADA!

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Hi from us too!

[@stevepearce1913]

Richard - thanks as always for yet another stunning video. The Morris 8 van brought back fond memories - I used to spend the summer holidays at my aunt's wonderful Tudor house in Cubbington and remember Planks bakers very well. I used to joke that they should have been joiners with that name but their bread and cakes were truly wonderful.

[@OldspeedJDM]

Excellent video! And as always THANK YOU for sharing the JDM cars in the UK, my favorite part of your videos btw 😁 🎉 keep up the great long videos 👍

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks, I'll do what I can!

[@mercury66ut]

The interior of that Alfa Junior Z looked so cozy and inviting, I don’t think I’d want to get out it!

[@larrytucker2938]

The Blue Bird is tops...very beautiful engine. The yellow pre-war Triumph blew my mind❤. Thanks for all the leg work and commentary.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Cheers, glad it was of interest

[@Shawcrosscarphotography]

Bravo 👏👏👏 fab video, missed out on tickets for this one, thanks for the in depth look

[@nickjones2536]

Excellent work as always Richard. Well done for catching the wonderful Scramble atmosphere. Thanks for the name checking the Jones posse visiting from Brecon, Wales! It was great to meet you 👍

[@PeterSalter-u3f]

Another excellent video from the Master who has again treated us to a visual feast of autorama. Talking of which, your sandwiches must be curled up at the edges after your exhausting walk. I hope you didn't get into trouble with Mrs OCC after bringing then home uneaten.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

I'm not sure about the "master" :-) My butties survived the ordeal and were consumed without issue, thanks for watching

[@johndavey72]

Hello Richard . Terrific coverage as always and impossible to pick a favourite. The cant rail slot screws on that Humber although asthectically pleasing the slots should be vertical not horizontal so water can pass through the slots. Incidently , that was a series 1 "e"type . The 4.2 was first introduced in 1964 and the series 1.5 didn't arrive until 1967 . The only obvious external difference is the 1.5 has exposed headlamps , a dicate to satisfy the U.S market . Thanks Richard .😊

[@Carl-x8y3c]

I'm viewing this again. I like the 1960s music in the background. Tom Jones and his hit from 1965 It's not Unusal. I remember that song back then. Im getting old !😊

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Yes some of the background music is quite appropriate, I just have to not include too much of it

[@Carl-x8y3c]

@oldclassiccarUK Copyright , i suppose. I love listening to my music collection. I was a Beatles fan in the 1960s. I have been playing alot of them. Very nostalgic for an oldie like me.

[@sylvaincarroy5271]

Thanks for this vidéo, as always. The Citroën Ami Super is very rare even in France

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks for watching, did you see the Amis in my recent France video?

[@sylvaincarroy5271]

@@oldclassiccarUK Yes Richard. I saw him with a oil can in memory🙂

[@RobertGott-c3f]

Great video😊love Bicester always excellent display of cars Hope RAF Scampton becomes an heritage centre to that was the plan ??? Thanks for the trip and your time😊😊😊😮

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks for checking it out, yes Scampton should be saved

@@oldclassiccarUK the committee say the funding is in place But nothing said recently??

[@triumphstu]

Can't believe I missed the auto jumble ! I had a chat with your youthful assistant though. Good show this

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Ha yes we weren't sure whether the jumble would be there or not, as it's been absent lately, hopefully it's back to being a permanent feature. Thanks for watching!!

[@Carl-x8y3c]

Hi 👋 Such a good car show. Good variety of different vechiles. I have mentioned that I liked to go to Stockcar racing here in NZ. There was a driver who had a stockcar with a Renault 4 CV body shell , he called his car Snoppy with the Charles Schulz Peanuts cartoon character painted on the side of the car. He was a very good driver. The Renault 4CV on display has a nice colour.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Yep the 4CV was a good looking car, don't often see them here

[@Carl-x8y3c]

@oldclassiccarUK How is your Renault 4CV doing. Getting it out on the road lately.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

@@Carl-x8y3c Yes it's been out and about, I hope to feature it in a vid shortly

[@bennwhite4052]

Its Dove as in the bird. Built by Thos. Harrington of Hove for Triumph dealer Doves of Wimbledon, same idea as the Harrington Alpine. Excellent video, as usual.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks Benn, yes I thought that as I said it actually :-)

[@colinhead284]

Thanks for the lingering look at the Moto Guzzi T3 850 California at the end , I have a 78 model , mine is called il mio trattore nero , or my black tractor

[@paulroossien5322]

Great show some lovely cars there i would choose the c type jaguar beautiful set of wheels cheers

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks 👍

[@richardbooth4573]

XK120 , Xk140, Bristol, Alvis , Daimler, Riley, Bentley , Rolls , Austin Ruby are all fine cars . Standard and Ford also . Ad016 also. The lotus Elite and Elan . Your little Renault and restoration project also.

[@richardbooth4573]

Love your photo collections . Reminds me of the slides Dad used to show around Christmas time when he was alive . Sadly the slide collection vanished . Many pictures of old cars and the people who drove them .

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks, yes the old slides and photos can be really interesting, thanks for watching

[@Carl-x8y3c]

Sorry I meant Snoopy not Snoppy as i have written.

[@Shawcrosscarphotography]

Great video, and that plug in Bentley is a travesty...

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Ha yes well it wouldn't have been my choice I guess :-)

[@adamsfamilydottwo]

As usual a really good video thanks as always . Here comes the gripe I love the rally cars , but Must ask what is the fascination with large engines and the mention of 6 mpg makes me feel a little uncomfortable ! In my working life unfortunately had to deal with oil companies and I can tell you I think they have been ripping us off for years ,look at the profits they make and always come out with some lame excuse to try and justify it ,and of coarse this passes onto the cost of living which some people are finding a bit of a challenge and our useless government seem unable to control My rally car apart from the HA Viva was a 1300 Chevette it revved t o 8000 rpm and did about 70 mph in second gear, and won the South East Rally Championship and did over 40mpg driven normally, the oil companies and the government don't like that ,I wonder why? Not quite sure why anybody would make a superb job of restoring a car , but fit a wooden steering wheel or keep the original bakelite one ,not very good for driving .But as I have said before it takes all sorts to make a good show ,so well done to everyone no matter what their taste! My guess is that an HA Viva and a 1300 Chevette might not be on everybody wish for list

[@johnhrichak]

I believe the way to tell a 2 cam 275GTB from a 4 cam 275GTB is the 2 cam has a flat bonnet while the 4 cam has a clearance bulge. That done, I enjoy your channel and Harley's immensely! Thank you sirs.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Handy, thanks, I'll try and remember that :-)

Hi From Queensland Australia i have a Volvo 262c but have never seen one in You Tubes did they come into the UK?

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Hi yes they were sold here, I have featured one or two at shows - one of the Capesthorne Hall videos has one in it for example. Thanks for watching.

[@RGChandler]

Not my car, sadly, but that is the Visa GTI that was at Rustival. i know because I sent pics to a friend who owned several back when they were worthless. better than a Peugeot 205 GTI in my experience, if even more prone lo lift oversteer.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Ah righty yes I thought it must be the same one
