Brooklands Day New Year's Day Meet - UK's biggest winter car show?!

[@marial8235]

The Ford V8 Pilot was gorgeous. Being a UK Ford, and me being a Yank, I never saw one before. There were so many nice ones-the Lancia Fulvia looked adorable. Really cool show.❤

[@idriveaclassic]

Ahh thanks for watching!

[@allanmollison6971]

Great show Steph, thanks for sharing. The UK seems to have the best car shows. Love your outfit and fluffy hat. 😊👍

[@idriveaclassic]

Thanks Allan! One of my favourite dresses.

[@jonathanmorrisey5771]

Steph, greetings from the colonies. Plan your stateside visit for the Pumpkin Run just outside Cincinnati OH. The first full weekend in October each year, its a Fri/Sat/Sun of ~2500 1974-older vehicles plus swap meet. You are cordially invited.

[@drwho534]

Never a dull moment with Steph! Great to see a show with such variety everywhere, too many favorites to choose from. Thanks for taking us round!

[@idriveaclassic]

My pleasure! I love bringing subscribers along

[@roygardiner2229]

The Ladies' Waiting room is so interesting. Look at the two bar electric fire! Takes me back. Thanks for a really good explanation about the real character of the show.

[@idriveaclassic]

I need to properly visit the museum.

[@robertngreen6]

Looks like a really good way to spend the day! How interesting to see all those pre-war cars in addition to some great classics.

[@Vince_uk]

WOW!!!! What a hell of a show Steph, excellent.

[@martinneumann7783]

My favourite: the »German Sausage« snack bar. And the Citroën GS. Thanks for the walk, Steph! See you next week --- Martin 🇬🇧🥰🇩🇪

[@anthonystevens8683]

Many thanks for sharing Steph, I had an invite to this one but due to circumstances beyond my control I had to take a rain check. My brother who has been a few times drove down from the midlands and really enjoyed it. I hope all went well on your journey back with Mary the Minor.

[@idriveaclassic]

Ahh next time! Yep no probs. Mary is ace.

[@chilternman]

New year people tend to peel off earlier than other events at Brooklands throughout the year. I love the Raleigh bicycle museum and the area dedicated to Barnes Wallace (bouncing bomb) loads to see at Brooklands

[@Mark1405Leeds]

So many of my favorites - Simcas, NSU - the Allegro Estate always made more sense than the saloon!

[@MGBetts1]

Loved the Mk I Capri (facelift) in Daytona Yellow! 💛💛💛

[@russelmaclean4416]

Great show Steph. A lot more American cars at your shows than i thought. They seem to be fairly popular. Ladas were sold in Canada including the Samara. I had two a1981 1500 S and an 1986 Lada Signit both 1.5 liter . Saw lots if Samaras but never had one. They were actually Russian built Fiats as you know. Had no trouble with them and were as reliable as the Chrysler mini vans i had. Always started no mater how cold the weather. As far as a favorite you have too many really great cars there I would have to pick a dozen. Looking forward to your next video. PS No shows here just snow and tons of salt on the roads.

[@АндрейПопов-б7е9э]

VAZ 2101 - VAZ 2107 cars were copies of the Fiats. Lada Samara is an independent development, with some participation from Porsche and Volkswagen.

Sigh. Here in one of our Canadian snowbelts my '67 Mini Traveler goes into the garage for its annual hibernation October 1st, not to turn a wheel again until May 1st. What a treat it would be to take it out for a New Year's blast! Luv your hat, Steph. Be well.

[@Blofeld76]

This was very enjoyable and interesting video. 7:22 Fiat Uno Turbo IE was my favourite. Also I personally admire people who keep lesser admired cars like that Allegro and Lada going even if they're a bit rougher condition.

[@robertlambert8719]

Great show! Interesting to see a Lada Samara after all this time. My late Mum had one in the late 1990s, and the reliability was not good, to say the least! I didn't mind Ladas (I did own some Nivas back in the day-shh!) but this one really tried my patience! Happy times! Nice to see so many cars of all makes and conditions. Love your hat, too!

[@idriveaclassic]

Aw thanks. It was a Christmas present to myself.

[@davidwakefield2425]

Thanks for saying lots of good things about Brooklands Steph. I couldn’t make it this year but it looks another good one. I’ve been a member here for years and my late dad worked here until he was made redundant when the site began to close in 1988. He helped secure all the buildings to set up the museum in 1990. It holds a special place in many peoples hearts and was very nearly lost to development. Thank you again.

[@ianchambers2731]

Was my first time at the New Year meet, but not my first time at Brooklands….. got there at the start, but I was quite surprised how early people left. I think the forecast was set to deteriorate in the afternoon, so that might have been a factor! Hard to single out one favourite, but probably one of the Citroens 😊

[@stephenricketts7764]

Far too many to pick a favourite , well maybe one the Italian Zephyr perhaps? Such a broad selection there and I do love pre-war as well. Thanks for taking us round Steph and hope you made it home without any drama! 👍👍

Happy New Year. Looks like a great show with the widest variety of cars. It's better to hear you talking about the cars and show than hearing snippets of naff music that might get you demonetised or, worse still, the money going to some music corporation that's not short of a bob or two! Cheers

[@gary5481]

The car at around 7.12 is a chopped 1940's Lincoln Zephyr by the looks of it, with the grille being the only distinctive way of identifying it. It could perhaps be an homage to the Chip Foose/ Boyd Coddington build. There are some absolutely stunning cars there, although I don't care much for the modern stuff, I do appreciate that there are enthusiasts, showing their cars & keeping the movement alive. Great video, the cause of lots of drooling & envy for me.

@@idriveaclassic It's raining out here at this time. It's hard to believe that parts of my island are considered semi-arrid desert (I saw my first live cactus in the wild here back in the day, lol). Those dry areas are in the lee of these upper ridges of two extinct volcanic craters. The windward side of the island is very moist, however. Mould and stuff grows there, too. As an old English ex-pat, I find the cooler, wetter weather more amenable to me.😆🤣

Lovely show, thanks. Singer Vogue my favorite.😊

Another venue I need to Visit one day, have to say the Allegro Estate looked spot on, have seen it on Social Media before. A brilliant video Steph as always.

[@jeremyfdavies]

Brilliant. I couldn’t make the show this year and your walkaround was a real treat. Thanks!

[@paulmayer8645]

Hi Steph, love the video. Re the Italian Zephyr, I’ve seen that a few times at the show over the years, so I guess it’s UK based. If you get there between 9 and half past you get to see many of the cars coming in. With those parked on ‘the bank’, it’s not easy to reverse up as it’s so steep. I always hope a) the handbrake works b) it’s been left in gear. 🥴 That part of the site is usually ‘full’ by 10ish. You really need 3 hours min to see all the cars and auto jumble, plus time for the museum if you’ve not been before. So many car events there, an annual ticket/membership is great value. 😀

[@CarsandCats]

I've never seen a Concorde at a car show! Wow.

[@idriveaclassic]

Haha they’ve got it all.

[@caw25sha]

There's also one at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton. Two others I can think of are in Barbados and New York. I assume a few Air France ones are preserved as well.

[@964tractorboy]

Good to see you making the trip from Coventry. Well done. I was there early-doors and also got short shrift from the marshals for climbing the banking. I left early afternoon to avoid the impending rain, as many did I suspect. The Sunbeam Cafe staff worked like Trojans all day and deserve a special mention. They had a deal for becoming a Brooklands member whereby you effectively got a refund of the ticket price. How could we resist? A bargain compared to Goodwood… A great day-out.

[@idriveaclassic]

Honestly the cafe staff should’ve got a mention and I am really sorry I missed them out. Jacket potato/cheese/bean combo with a Pepsi max chaser was a real hit.

[@benvan-ness1030]

I'm an American here and it was nice to see cars that I don't see here in the US but it is funny to see Trans ams hot rods that were American cars that are now imported into England so it's kind of funny to see all these. I enjoyed the walk around but it is odd for such a short time to have a show that people are only there about 2 hours that's almost like a cars and coffee meat that we have here in the US compared to an actual car show that normally last several hours

[@supersparks9466]

It does last all day, but many people start to leave early but many stay for hours.

[@peterchapman8357]

No need to apologise, Steph. 😊 For me, the highlight was seeing a few Bristols. No, that's not a joke. I'm an ex Bristol employee and l'd love to see you drive one someday. Great, as always.

[@idriveaclassic]

I know I missed the bus museum, I am really sorry! Truth be told, it was jam packed and I already felt a bit ‘close’ with all the people so tightly packed in. I couldn’t face being indoors.

[@asciimation]

@@idriveaclassic To be fair when I visited I didn't know the bus museum was there! It is not mentioned much in most Brooklands films. I understand the too many people thing, no apologies necessary.

Anothrer fantastic video Steph. Some great cars. I actually loved that Herald as it looked quite like most of the ones my dad owned. Plus I can’t remember when I last saw a Subaru Brat. I wonder if it had the rear facing seats in the back. Loved it. I was also quite taken with the Allegro estate. How many three door estates were on sale here in the 60s/70s and into the 80s.

[@bitofbritlife183]

Great job Steph as always. I don't know why there is a rush for exhibitors to leave, and it's particularly annoying when you've paid admission for them all to clear off at 11:00 as happened here recently. Where are off to in such a hurry?

[@caw25sha]

Seems to be a major problem. I think the organisers should try to encourage people to stay longer or at least try to find out why they don't stay long.

I’d love to see an incentive given to get people to stay. It makes me so sad to see a car drive away and not even get a proper look.

Omg that PB Cresta brought back memories. Dad had a Grey one, and a Red and White one.

[@tpmanysaws]

The "work in progress" vehicle at the 7:04 minute mark started out as a '39 Lincoln, I believe. Mike Bello of Bellos Kustoms Chula Vista, CA builds cars like this. If you're interested in the process including design and fabrication, Mike has many videos on KZbin that will take you through the build. One of Mike's favorite words is "locochon" which describes the degree customization. I'm sure Mike would give this Lincoln's roof chop a muy locochon rating. Loved this video. It was like walking through a vast car park where mundane vehicles got to rub bumpers with the most exotic ones. Very egalitarian!

[@michaeltreadwell777]

Excellent video Steph. The Ford Pilot was my 'take home' car. Rick Jones from 'OLD CLASSIC CARS' has recently purchased the exact copy of that one. Some lovely vehicles there, but that 'slammed' Allegro should go straight to the dump ! Hope you all got home safely in Mary. Thanks for taking us along - take care 🙂

I think we can all be respectful of each others builds. If it’s safe and brings joy, I welcome it ❤️

[@parne1978]

Great video Steph always wanted to go to that but never got round to it I have always loved the look of an allegro est and will own one eventually x

[@TheDarkPhoenix23]

Great show, so thanks for showing us Steph! Also, the car at the 7:03 mark looks to be (American) a 1940's Mercury, which was a Ford brand sold here in the US as an intermediate car, slotted between the "bread and butter" Ford brand and the luxurious Lincoln brand. Clearly the bodywork as been customized ("chopped and shaved"), which is big in some circles here in the US. Also, the wagon at the 6:49 mark is a Ford Falcon (or Fairlane or Torino, depending on the year). My parents had the sport version when I was a very small kid, a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra. I was all of 4 years old and loved that car. Also, when we had it, it wasn't that old of a car (I'll be 49 here in a few days).

[@1990drewman]

G’day Steph. I visited Brooklands when I was over there in January, 2009. I spent the whole day there! The Concorde Experience is really worth the cost. It was a bitterly cold mid week day and I was the only one who turned up, so the guy did the tour anyway. Seeing as I was the only one on the tour, he took my picture in the pilot’s seat. It hangs on my garage wall! I was so impressed when I went back for a wedding in 2010 I took my sons and son-in-law back there, again all day. This time I got my photograph taken inside a Harrier Jump Jet. Great memories of Brooklands. Anyway, a couple of other things - they sold Lada Nivas and Samaras over here in Australia - not very popular and not very reliable! I have a soft spot for Morris Minors as they first car I owned back in the early ‘70’s was a 1958 Series 3 (I think) 4 door. So I love to hear your stories about Morris’s! Been watching your show for a long time and I watch your latest one ever Sunday. Thank you Steph!

[@michaelhalsall5684]

Love the Ford Consul Mark II convertible at 7.55, a very rare car indeed! The odd looking car with the very lowered roof line appears to be an American 1940s Ford (Lincoln ???) hot rod. The very "chopped" roof line is an extreme form of customising

[@graemew7001]

What you maybe didn't realise is that that paticular Allegro estste, if memory serves me correctly is and estate body grafted onto a VW Beetle floorpan and running gear, crazy but so cool. My second car was an Allegro and although it was a clonker that used more oil than petrol, I loved that car, it was so comfortable and lovely to drive.

[@sagaris400]

As the (very happy) owner of the Samara I love that you were so happy to see it! It is however not the car that is for sale but another Samara non-runner and a 205 that I am reluctantly offering for sale.

One car I've never seen at a car show is a Facel Vega HK500, a luxury French sports Coupe with a Chrysler 6.2 V8 engine. My late boss had one in the 1970s which I had the opportunity to buy for £800 but the insurance for me as a 18 year old would have been horrendous.

[@racer6583]

Great stuff Steph as I've come to expect, question, do you have any friends with American classic and would they share their experiences in up keep of their rides cause I was wondering how they get their spares and bits to keep their vehicles on the roads of the U.K. Any reply will be appreciated or maybe a video presentation on it . I have a 66 Chevrolet Corvair and I daily it in the spring through till the first week of November it runs me around $3,587 a year with the most expensive part binging insurance. Just curious cause I live in Pennsylvania, USA. Thanks

Yes! If you speak to Niamh Frances smith on my friends list she can advise who they use. There’s a big parts importer and I think it takes about a week for parts.

[@McGrory69]

[@stanwbaker]

7:04 The body on this one is a (possibly reproduction) pre-war Mercury (more posh than a Ford, less so than a Lincoln) in the midst of conversion to a "street rod". Those were the cornerstone of American "kustomotive" culture starting in the 50s and are only now waning in popularity. The wheels imply this was built on a more modern frame; Mustang or Crown Vic/Town Car are common. The roof is "chopped and channeled" with fully modern glass mounts. The headlights are (almost certainly) reproduction Willys units with integrated turn signals frenched (made fully flush) into the fenders. Typically all the running gear is quite modern with an interior not unlike a bourgeois honeymoon suite. These things cause quite a stir when finished to a high level.
