CAN WE FIND SOME CLASSIC BARGAINS AT HOBBS PARKER CLASSIC AUCTION?

[@sruk]

Yes I made a mistake it was a mgb 🤷‍♂️

[@chriswright3062]

I was about to say!

[@johndavey72]

Rob . You actually said this was the same colour , but didn't claim it was the same car .....

[@inchaseable1]

I feel like this video is far the best ever having the helping hand holding the camera. Because the banter between you and Chris was hilarious knowing u don't need to worry about camera angles and holding the camera. It flowed so well

[@Taz-wf4jl]

My grandad had an Allegro in that blue. Poverty spec but he bought it brand new when he retired as a treat. His pride and joy. It looked like the future sitting in a street full of 60s/early 70s cars

[@philtucker1224]

That was great having the walk round and both Chris and Rob sometimes not knowing a lot of the more unusual car’s names, with all of us older petrolheads shouting all the correct names at the screen ha ha!

[@philiprush3745]

Rob I started watching the early episodes when kris never spoke my god how the channel has changed now its great listening to the banter between you 2 is brilliant 😂😂

[@robertpowell7672]

Your first MG Midget is actually an MGB . But you did correctly identify a green Midget later on.

[@deanishere7237]

Does anyone remember how shy Chris used to be when they first started... Great to see him cracking some one liners and being himself on camera !!!

[@GarryMcGovern]

Cheezuz lads, that Alpine (pronounced Alpeen..... .like the F1 team!!!)....... bloody knee-trembling motor back in the late 80's, early 90's (that motor you were looking at is April 93). When I passed my test in 1989, these things looked like spaceships - gorgeous!!!! (And yes, owned by Renault, but you'll need to hit Wikipedia for the history! 🤣)

[@robincook3367]

A610 is a Renault Alpine, early 90s, an updated version of the 80s GTA V6. The white Audi isn't a Quattro, it's an Audi Coupe with quattro 4wd. It's the same bodyshell, but with no turbo and no flared/blistered wheelarches, also bumpers are different. Green MG is a B Riley Elf is a Mini with a bigger boot and restyled front.

[@sruk]

Anything 4x4 is a Quattro bud

[@silverback7170]

Love the classic car tour guys, brings back so many memories for me, my eldest brother had his own garage, taught me to drive in a MG Midget, absolutely loved it, wish he was still here!. The days of plugs, points, colour tuning, Stromberg carburettors and the smell of Gunk!....happy days 😊

[@robaustin245]

Midgets ran SU carbs either HS2 or HS4. Triumphs ran Stromberg carbs mainly on Dolomite 1850.

[@stevewhite1444]

Boys…..so disappointing every time you walk straight past the Moggies. Lovely looking old English white 2 door with minilites and a split screen. Looks a top car and not a mention. Please give the good old Minors some love

[@stephenricketts7764]

The stand out ones for me in no particular order, Morris Minor pickup, Rover P5B, Rover P6 and the VW single cab. I think Chris will have a bid on the old Land Rover even if the engine is seized it is still a good project and you can't have too many projects can you Chris!? Great video Gentlemen and a good first try by Dan the man as cameraman. (I think he did well) 👍👍

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Love these auction videos. That green MG video you were talking about was the first SR video I ever watched and I haven't missed a single video since.

[@thomasweatherford5125]

In all honesty today, I didn’t watch much of this episode. I was doing something else and I was listening to the banter between you two and I just laughed and laughed. Outstanding comedic relief. Thanks for all you do fellas.

[@johndavey72]

Thankyou Gentlemen . You haven't got time to watch Dennis Collins ...😆 white kit car was a Unipower and used mini subframes , engines . These were one of numerous specialists in the 1960's who made these. The most desirable , and expensive was the Ogle . That 325 drophead is definitely worth a shout and the mini countryman could be a good buy . The Rover 2000 could be a cheap way into classics . Thanks guys

[@williamlloyd3769]

Too much fun doing the auction walkthrough. The VW work wagon with the canvas back would be so much fun driving around on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Malibu! PS - Sad to say two of our local automobile museums in Ventura County, California are being liquidated in 2024.

[@royeady800]

Not a Midget, it is an MGB Roadster

[@sruk]

Correct

[@4NK8A]

No time on the best car in there ???? Rover P5B coupe. Love your work lads ,thank you

[@alisoneveritt9497]

Having a cameraman worked really well. He did a good job.

[@G4RY1159]

Was a stunning XR3i went through ''Manor Park Auctions'' just last weekend, it only had 3k miles on the clock. Video can still be found on here. Thanks for the tour fella's.

[@geneva760]

HA - those ‘glow in the dark’ teeth lit up the interior of that ROLLS. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

[@dscclay7084]

Great video guys. My dad was a Puch dealer and later ran a garage selling, repairing, spraying cars. The Puch Maxi sold well. He also sold tge Puch 125 a 2 stroke, which was a decent bike. good. I think the little red car which you didn't come in the garage was a 3 wheeler Berkley, we had a tatty yellow one.

[@Timrsnakess]

That 200sx is a very popular drift/tuning car facelift aswell extremely rare bog standard somebody will pay up for it

[@paulrichards7587]

Evening guys, I know it’s late but I’m still watching that classic car. One I know is most of the old classics people put seatbelt in I think I’d left them out the there’s loads of nice old cars there

[@knoxyish]

i owned a puch maxi just after i left school!! my dads first car was a e serious vauxhall cresta with 3.3 litre straight six ! my choice ? would be the a610 or the porsche 944 conv . the tr6 was nice though!!

[@paulperratt3748]

Great little video guys. Just 3 guys wandering around the auction, having a chat and a nice day out. Brilliant.

[@philkfoto]

Moped. I had a NSU Quickly and the furthest I rode it in one day was from Norwich to Worcester 180 miles I think. Then en route to Reading the chain broke leaving me stranded. Then a chap driving an empty low loader stopped and asked where I was heading. He put the moped on the back and dropped me off in High Wycombe near a motorcycle shop. Once back on the road ended up in Reading before the last drive back to Norwich.

[@WartonPlanes]

Alpine Was a twin turbo v6 0-60 4.4s fibre glass body, very very quick

[@philtucker1224]

True but they both seam to very “anti plastic” when it comes to the fibreglass cars..probably because they’re difficult to panel-beat ! 😁

[@mikebriggs3164]

Chris will end up putting Rob in the boot of one of the cars lol so funny watching you too works loads better having some one else on the camera

[@JohnHonda101]

Cresta. "Its frothy man". (I bet not many get that).

[@HowardLeVert]

Get it? I used to buy it!

[@Iancrombie-nx6hs]

Lemon flavour was the best .

[@445fhn]

I get it. Shows my age!

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Yep we’re all showing our age

[@foxstrangler]

'E' model, not 'E' series. Picky I know, but correct. Rusty floors. Brake hard and the body could drop on the ground.

[@ged3680]

Good morning Road and Chris, some lovely cars there, I hope the Range Rover sells for a good price. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

I knew the most obscure vehicle would catch Chris’s eye, rob not knowing a cresta shame on you Rob, you should be as old as the rest of us 😊

[@nicksmith7514]

Good camera work, nice to see you both together chatting :)

[@tomhope4613]

Brings tears to the eyes seeing that mk1 fiesta……. Owned two of them 30yrs ago v-reg and a y-reg. also must’ve been one of the first Orion’s a-reg 1.3. Would be a fair wad of money for those three now. K reg 1.8 16v xr2i that was stolen and burnt out back in 2001

[@1mic3]

I’d love to buy that Rover P5b coupe. I sold mine too cheap years ago. Some gorgeous cars there today lads 👍👍👍👍

[@JohnHonda101]

That Blue Allegro. I remember the BL TV Advert from 1977 "get your S plate special coming down the line"

[@GarryMcGovern]

Woah, woah, woah, stop the horses there boys!!!!! Being the owner of an actual factory Porsche 944 Cabriolet (1989 3 litre S2..... the year they came out!!), that front end and reg plate hit me like a gaggle of kippers! Quick DVLA check, and that is a 1984 2.5 coupe, so that conversion is an after market (though very bloody good, as from the video, looks pretty much bang on an original from 89 like mine!). I would love to know more history on that one, see who did the conversion - and even more interested to see what it goes for (not that I have any intentions of selling mine any time soon........ I bought it as a 30th birthday present to myself, and I'm now 52 and still have it!!! 😉) *edit* The radio aerial in an original S2 is actually in the windscreen, and not poking out of the wing - I just noticed it!).

[@barrywood5357]

What a good one cant wait to see what you bought Good show dan for filming these two you got it right.

[@driver13954]

The red one three wheeler was a Berkeley T69 that was outside I had a yellow one in 1971 still got the pics

[@bernardshieldstysonfive1009]

Hi Rob and Chris the first MG You was looking at is not a midget it’s the MGB I had one just like it Bernard

[@sruk]

Correct 👍

[@kanemac4730]

I prefer the self filming so can get the pov’s

[@GrahamWP58]

I had a Puch Maxi S Rob fill the tank up for 75p back in 1974

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Great vlog, felt old listening to Rob's comments ' imagine kick-starting a 500cc ' and asking Chris what the car was they were viewing ? !

[@Fenders25]

Great video looking round all those classics. Brought back a few memories.

[@victorbox6289]

From his knowledge of the TR6 and Riley Elf I reckon Chris is about 60 but doesn't look it and Rob is about 27 being told about the good old days by his dad!

[@sruk]

Chris is 53 I’m 43

[@slottaway]

The E30 325 BMW soft top, Vee Dub Splitty pick up or the 3.5 Rover Coupe for me, a lot of the other stuff was quite plain apart from a few exceptions. Still a good vid though, bit of banter and Dan the man with some artistic camerawork is a bonus. 👍👍👍

[@mickmolloy6594]

That A610 is just fantastic. The pop up headlights on that facelifted model suited them really well

[@jamesbrett6518]

PRV engine (Peugeot, Renault, Volvo) V6 - with turbo. Similar to Delorean, Volvo 780 coupe, etc)

[@mickmolloy6594]

Brilliant loved the walk round,so much style , no stupid electrics to go wrong 👍👍👍

[@petterd6966]

Absolutely love you guys and your work. Also love your usual format of the channel. This video is brilliant. The camera man really did you right. Lovely to see you walking and chatting about. Please more of this format also in the future. Thank you, for me personally you are a huge inspiration, cheers from Norway

[@davidclarke9767]

In 1971 when I was 24 years old I could afford to buy a new TR6 they were £1500 But I couldn't get insurance they said I had to be 31years old before they would insure me. Same with the 3litre Capri another £1550 car new I couldn't insure despite being insured with my new 16 XLR Capri.

[@ablestringer9063]

Funny banter from you guys cheered me up no end. And I love these classics episodes because its the one time I can say I know more about the cars than you lol. And by the way, you never did get to talk about the Mk1 Granada...

[@robinfuller747]

The ex mod...ideal shifter or mobile work stand . Rebuild engines on outside etc...little conversion....but brilliant unit for dragging cars lumbar....great yard pig

[@Pyoutube2023]

So much better with a cameraman! Love it ❤

Shocked most petrolheads like the Porsche 944 good looking motor.

Love the sounds of the TR6

Great one again lads well done , nice to see Dan

[@TheDaf95xf]

Afternoon guys 😊 Great walk round with a camera 🎥 man lol 😂 Rob that Honda 550 will easily kick start as the pots are like cotton bobbins 🧵 I had one 👍🏻 It’s really good seeing something different and seeing some classic motors that are still about 😀

I have a 1982 GTI it’s been parked up for 10 years, Not got round to restoring it yet, Still runs & drives 😄

[@davemellor4697]

Motorcycles are making silly money Rob....i have a mint 1975 Fizzy in my office its worth £7k and was £195 new! I also have lots of retro 70/80s bikes they are worth money!!!

[@neilharrison7555]

Alpine A610 - lovely car, rare in RHD. Alpine produced cars at their factory in Dieppe. Their A110 rally car was very successful in the early 70's. The latest Alpine coupe takes a lot of it's styling cues from the A110.. Unipower GT - very rare, but did you say £60K ?? Never. Honda 500 Four - relatively easy to kick over. My brother had the 750 Four, which DID have an electric start, but yes, you COULD kick it over quite easily.

[@jon-cunningham]

I enjoyed Chris giving Rob some grief. Funny. More of the same please! 😂

[@KristianByatt-cw3ce]

Nice to see videos like these but I think they should be an extra in addition to the Wed / Sun videos as I’m sure other will agree we all love to see the usual content and since you reduced the videos to twice weekly it feels like we have missed it out on one lol!

[@ImSpinksy]

Yeah, I came here to say the same thing. I never miss a video. Gutted when it’s the auction ones, find them really boring.

[@mattwalker4034]

Seeing that little mk1 fiesta reminded me, I had a mk1 fiesta and the windscreen washers were operated by a foot pump on the floor next to the clutch. When it froze in winter you couldn’t clean the windscreen. 😂

Love the longer car auction vids. Keep up the good work, gentlemen.

I was going to go to this and have a look but I thought it wasn’t as good as it has been in the past not that I’ve been but going by your videos. . I didn’t think there was many old classics.

[@leuvenlife]

That midget was an mgb roadster, a desirable chrome bumper version to boot.. i get it that these cars are not really your bag but as an old dude, it sometimes pains me when you get your oldies mixed up. This was general knowledge to my gen, but this knowledge disappears with us. Love what you do though, the new stuff and the old, you keep it alive..

I am from the USA, manual chokes were gone even on the cheapest cars by the early 1960's. It was a shock to me when in 1984 a Ford Fiesta rental car I used in Ireland had a manual choke.

Always liked the TR6 myself from being a kid. Not sure if I like the TR4 more or as equally. Given the choice I'd struggle. Shocked neither of you ever heard of the Alpine A610, Chris guessed right being Renault - Alpine is a shootoff of theirs, as in the current Renault/Alpine F1 Team.

[@jamesbrett6518]

Wheeler Dealers had one of the Alpines once. Not very common then or now

[@yips_way]

@@jamesbrett6518 Yeah, rare indeed. Although I remember seeing them quite often back then, but more than likely the same car in many different places locally 🤣

I have a mate who lives in Canterburty. In 2016 he decided to treat himself to a run out model of the old Defender. The deal included a trip to the JLR factory. and 3 things happened. 1/ He noted that the moderns were assembled by robots the old Defender was hand built by a cast of hundreds 2/ His daughter who went with him decided she wanted to work at JLR and became an apprentice there. 3/ He gets it serviced at the dealers. Every time he does they offer him nearly what he paid for his 8 year old car. When was a car that you use as a daily that good value?
