February's classic car show at Crewe Heritage Centre, "Off the Rails" | 27th Feb 2022

Plenty of classic cars, pickups and motorcycles turned up for the regular "Off the Rails" morning meet held at the Crewe Heritage Centre, Cheshire, on 27th Feb 2022. It was a good excuse to dust down the 1920s Dodge and amble over at a leisurely pace, its first show in several years, the Ford Anglia enjoying a rest on this occasion.
As always there was a real variety of older vehicles on display, favourites for me included the green Triumph TR5, the Austin 7, and a bright red MGC Roadster. I had quite a long chat with the owner of the rare Vanden Plas 3 Litre Princess which until quite recently was little more than a basket-case by all accounts (our chat is included in this video), and also with the owner of the white Hillman Imp parked inside the main building, which is also included here.
Other classic cars in attendance included a fab bright yellow Lotus Elan S4, a variety of Triumphs (Dolomites & 1500s, TRs, Spitfire, GT6, 2000s/2500s), MGBs, Vauxhalls, and quite a mix of American cars and pickups (Chevys, Dodges, Fords etc). The Maestro & Montego contingent was out in numbers too, no Rover SD1s this time though. Pre-war days were represented by our Dodge and the aforementioned Austin 7, it'd be nice to see a few more early cars making the trip over to the Heritage Centre. A number of vintage and classic motorcycles and scooters also turned up.
This is turning into an excellent morning/breakfast classic car meet, keep an eye on the Off the Rails Facebook page for future show dates. Thanks to all the organisers once again, also for arranging the great weather.
I'll include a link to the previous (Jan 22) meet at the end of this one.

The imp had a bad reputation back in the day, but you have to admire its unique design. Thanks for a really interesting video. Peace be unto you.

[@michaeltreadwell777]

Brilliant video yet again, especially the 'interview' with the owner of the Austin Princess 3ltr - I LOVE those cars, in fact all those 'big' Austins. I dream ov owning a Princess R one day !!! Thanks for sharing your day out with us.

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Lovely old cars, lots of smiles. Thanks.

[@richardhalliday6469]

Thank you for giving some time over to the Imps - the greatest little car that never stood a chance ( due to politics, geography, strikes, ridiculous deadlines etc etc). A smashing collection in this video, a great variety, a big thumbs up.

[@craigsibley8161]

👍👍👍 Excellent video once again. Like the running commentary. Too many great motors to pick a favourite...

[@rydermike33]

Really great video of a terrific show. Many thanks. It was good to meet you and chat about my Morris.

[@allangibson4354]

Very nice to see some stunning Vauxhalls. Especially the Sports Hatch in Extra Dark Wine, they were a numbered limited edition. I sold a couple whilst working for Bentley Brothers in Sheffield, a very well respected and long serving family run Vauxhall/Bedford dealer who are sadly no more. Too many big groups these who fail to offer the personal touch of the quality family owned dealerships.

Thanks again for this great video..cheers

[@jontaylor1652]

Wow, another great share from you. Brilliant to see all these old cars. It doesn't seem that long ago that we used to just see these things every day and take them all for granted. You are the 'go to guy' for this old classic stuff.

[@knifetrain3118]

Wonderful video as usual! I have to say little Dodge is eye catching!

[@happyhermit2022]

Really good thank you so much....I do not live in the UK any longer and do miss these fantastic days out😍

[@nigelgroves9851]

Nice to see "little Dodge" out and about, I thought she held her own amongst everything else. Very much enjoyed the chats you did with a couple of owners, really adds to the enjoyment when you have a back story. Many thanks and keep up the good work. All the best. P4 man.

As an ex-pat in his 80's I do so enjoy " Old Classic Car " - Brings back many memories of my early days in England .

That was quite a day and quite a marathon to watch 👍👍

[@allanriches9381]
