Wowsers! Japan Classic Sunday 2024 was incredible! Dutch show PACKED with classics.

[@robbrady4649]

A Hubnut walk around a car show = awesome.

[@chrisbury4635]

The Dutch know how to do it, some beautiful car's there Ian ❤

[@Boergi79]

@20:02 Thanks for showing my Nissan Cube. ❤

[@MrOvershoot]

I'm just blown away by the sheer amount and diversity of the cars on show. Well done Ian for your huge effort to show us this with such a good grasp of the cars. My head was spinning trying to take it all in, how the bloody hell you manage to give a commentary & film always staggers me 😊

[@MrOvershoot]

I think I need to add this show to my bucket list for next year, should I take my Mk2.5 MX5 or Mitsubishi Colt?

[@bong4538]

@@MrOvershoot Colt's is more rarer. Cheers 🍻

[@JR90.]

I'd consider myself a car guy but I'm going to be honest, a good 70% of those cars I wouldn't know what is was without looking at the back! Great video Ian, thanks for standing there all day to capture them in such detail!

[@TheFlyingdeuces]

Thanks!

[@TheFlyingdeuces]

As always the car shows are the best and this was amazing!

[@HubNut]

Thank you! Appreciate that.

[@TheFlyingdeuces]

@@HubNut you're my top channel and I follow hundreds

[@TheFlyingdeuces]

@@HubNut I have a HubNut reply, I watch the vids on 130+ resolution and that takes out the button on the bottom of the screen for 'thanks' and I'd often wondered why you didn't utilise that option, but it was me.

[@motive440]

How is it that I just enjoyed sitting here for over an hour, watching cars crawl into a field? Love your encyclopedic knowledge of it all. Thanks!

[@XLargeEric]

It was my 3rd visit this year and it was gorgeous ! It´s such a nice concept of a show. No BS, just meeting old friends, making new ones, see a incredible mix of cars. I was afraid they can´t find a new location and it was a relief when the news came in that they found a replacement that´s even bigger then the old one. I´ll be there next year again for sure.

[@arieplomp8906]

Thanks Ian for taking us to this amazing event ! So many beautiful cars ! Miss HubNut would have loved 🥰 it! All those cars only on a Sunday!? It looked more like a 3 day event! Amazing 🤩 and the cars just kept on coming! 👍🏻👍🏻🆙

[@MartsGarage]

Fantastic show, Ian. Quite the brainteaser rattling off all (well most) of the names like that. The vast majority looked to be in great condition in the care of loving owners. Thanks for taking the time and effort to get out there. Outstanding! Mart.

[@club1fan552]

Completely mad! Who would have known you'd have a collection like that in that part of the world! Many were big sellers in Australia where Japanese cars are popular. Love the Hondas, Mazdas and Datsuns! Thanks for filming. Great treat!

[@Blackadder75]

I don't think it's a collection, it's hundreds of individual classic car owners that meet up

[@ben_jam]

Joy of joys, i love the contrast between the 70's styling and 80's styling, sweeping lines into geometric but both utterly charming !! Great vlog, and such a great event it seems

[@fhwolthuis]

Amazing event, great footage. Thank you! 😀👌

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

What a brilliant show, so much variety, this is a show I need I need to attend one year. A brilliant show Report Ian, very enjoyable.

[@jinxylad71]

Fantastic coverage Ian thank you! Appreciate how much work it takes, great seeing them all roll in ❤

[@philippep561]

Incredible ! Amazing ! I am 63 and there are many cars I haven't seen one time specially those old Mazda RX. I drive Japanese cars since thirty years, first one was an Accord coupé with A/C and Hondamatic !!!!!

[@gg_vard]

Thank you for the review of that awesome show! and for showing car details up clskei. Congratulations to the Dutch organizers

[@awtistiaeth4699]

The blue Datsun 1200 really highlights the relationship between BMC and DATSUN in the late 50's-to-60's. To me, in side-profile it looked like a Wolseley/Riley 1500 back-end had been grafted onto an Austin A55 Cambridge front-end. The front-profile and rear profile fit said models as well. Great and interesting video. Diolch mawr

[@Robhalifax]

Japanese cars of the 70's are wonderful but I took them for granted as a youngster.

[@fritzkuhne2055]

this will never happen with todays modern cars. When i am old, they will still be CRAP.

[@NorickFZS25]

I am Japanese. I never thought I'd see a Nissan Cherry in this video. I'm very surprised and impressed. It was released when I was 9 years old, so it's a car from 53 years ago (1970). The 1968 Mazda Luce 1800 and the first generation Mitsubishi Lancer and 1967-1978 Mazda Familia 1000 are also very rare cars these days. The Mazda 626 was sold in Japan under the name Capella. Old Japanese cars are popular in the USA too, but many of them have been modified. It's nice to see that in Europe they are preserved in their original form. This is just my personal guess, but I think Mitsubishi Motors started selling cars under the name "Colt" because anti-Japanese sentiment was strong at the time in 1971 and they wanted to avoid the name "Mitsubishi," which was a military manufacturer. That was the year the Emperor and Empress visited Belgium, Britain, West Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland for the first time since the war, in an effort to restore friendly relations.

[@67tomcat]

What an amazing event! For someone who loves JDM, it's eye candy. Thanks so much for narrating this event.

[@grahamcockerill2406]

Well done Ian, loved the vid mate.

[@iandavies8061]

I still hold my 1991 Toyota Carina 1.6 hatch close to my heart...

[@meirionevans5137]

Degree level knowledge. This vid officially 2 mugs of tea in length. Perodua held its' own for sure. My fave the Austin-style Bluebird. Thanks!

[@tokyojoe7163]

When I lived in Italy in the 80s I often saw Japanese cars with Dutch license plates so I assumed there must be a fair number of Japanese cars in the Netherlands.

[@Invisibleman7]

Really enjoyed this Ian, too many beautiful cars to take in, I’ll be watching it again tomorrow

[@percyob1]

OMG...all these lovely Japanese cars. They're so lovely. Amazing video, sir!

[@dungbetel]

Phenomenal show! Thanks for the tour!

[@wxcferdts]

So nice and much more entertaining, Ian, you filming the cars as they drive in, which you did on previous JCS as well as on some Selshley Walsh Weekenders ... We then get to see the cars (and their headlights) moving and hear them a bit as well. Furthermore, we get to see the sometimes bemused, but mostly happy faces of driver and/or passenger! Nice you're on 115K now, but I do hope the subs grow even further fast ...

[@fritzkuhne2055]

thougth i would just tune in for some minutes. Ended up watching the whole hour! So many models is had no idea existed!

[@dwarfshortage244]

“Ooo he’s got all the gauges down the A pilar…” 57:53. Absolutely had me in stitches. Looks like an awesome show, thanks for sharing.

[@bradleywilkinson8882]

Good watching in all. First time ive seen the datsun 240K on youre show. Ive had my 77 model since 1988,99% rust free here in Australia.

[@peter_is_my_name]

Wow! This video certainly gives value for money.

[@mrtracy6398]

Ian ,another great vid love your overseas cappers 👍

[@Ricketik65]

Such a great day with so much variety. And nice of you spotting my BX Toulouse!

[@daveowen9481]

I really loved watching this. Thanks so much Ian!

[@ChuckFickens1972]

We did get the 180B coupe in the UK, I owned one, it was my first ever car, a 180B SSS, I swapped it for a 125cc motorbike as the car needed a new clutch and the owner couldn't afford to pay a garage to do the work and needed transport. One change of clutch later on my parents driveway it remains one of my favourite ever cars I've owned, despite me only having it about 6 months until parking it on it's roof in a ditch. (Side note, they had a 5 speed dog leg gearbox that was really heavy when I dropped it on myself trying to refit it after putting a new clutch in using just ramps and axle stands!)

[@TheCounty90]

Such a nice civilised event. They really do things well, no ego, just all about the cars.

[@maxcopen4676]

Brilliant, great to watch. Thank you.

[@sjcuk]

Can you imagine an SUV EV event with this kind of enthusiasm in the future.

[@2HopesGarage]

Well that killed nearly an hour and a quarter quickly. Whilst being more of an American car fan - the 1970s Japanese stuff is a treat. That Carina with its Oldsmobile-esq rear lights and the RX3 especially so. 👍 Keep up the good work!

[@XLargeEric]

Yes, Karsten and his wife where on their holiday trip with their Vellfire. They where at the Toyota Collection event the day before and drove to Denmark after their vistit to JCS .That´s why they drove the Vellfire. Otherwiese they would be there with their beautiful restored and modified Celica ST162 .

[@HubNut]

I still enjoyed seeing the Vellfire!

[@sonofdat]

This is exactly why i love Datsuns... and all classic cars! That was fantastic, what a day! Just wondering.. how many eggs were laid in the making of this video?. 😅

[@theshowmanuk]

Brilliant show Hubnut. Great.

[@mikeball6182]

Anti maCASSar! Macassar oil was a (messy) hair glop of which Victorian gentlemen were very fond. (Nice cars! I'll have to tell my daughter; she's Dutch!)

[@daniellee9015]

Absolutely fantastic video ian ❤👍absolutely exceptional collection of classics if they were in UK they wouldn't have lasted so long now I've never seen so many beautiful cars brilliant

[@davidhinkson8856]

I really couldn't keep my eyes off this video! So many great cars all in one place, and a lot of models I grew up with that I just don't see on the roads anymore. Kudos to the owners who have kept these 40+ year old cars in some cases on the road and still in good working order. The dark blue Laurel is similar to a company car my father had when I first got my license, and I took my first driving test in a Toyota Starlet estate.

[@ColinCarFan]

Great video. I bow down and salute your amazing knowledge of Japanese brands, models and even specifications.

[@graemew7001]

Highlights for me were the Civic Mk1 5 door Hondamatic (I had one) and the Datson 120Y's especially with the original hub caps. What an amazing show, thank you so much for this amazing video.

[@JS-1983]

Thanks for a great video 😎👍 What a selection of cool and interesting cars 😀

[@Hanzilla75]

I wish I could have made it down there with my Suzuki Wagon R+ before it died. Great coverage as usual. The trip looks amazing.

[@aslandama]

This has got to be the best car show out there!

[@Captain1diot]

My dad had a Mazda 929 Coupe, same as 17:45. But with smooth rear lights. In the early 80's. We have a photo of it still to this day.

[@heikkiremes5661]

Awesome show, as always! Always a highlight of the year for me. My god, I haven't seen any Mazda 323's in ages. They've all just vanished here in Finland. So happy to see so many of them. Seeing a clean N15 Almera made me so happy. Have been repairing a rusty (shocking, I know) N15 Almera. Bought because the interior was so clean. Just stood on grass for a couple of years. All it needs is sheets of steel and some brakes for the MOT. Not gonna be a trailer/show queen. It will see black schmoo aplenty. Cheers, Ian!

[@greatwhite1958]

I had a Mazda 929 Coupe in 1979. What a lovely car that was. My dad also had a Mazda 1800 in the 1970’s. My 929 was red and the 1800 was red as well. The 1800 was another lovely car.

[@revolution1one]

I am so glad you went to JCS. I love your reports of the show. We have nothing like this here. The biggest show for specific origin I know of is the All British Field Meet in Vancouver, BC. Over 500 cars show up for that.

[@curmudgeone]

Fantastic coverage of the show, Ian! 😊 In another video I commented that in a previous relationship the very kind mother of my then-gf gave us her 1982/83? Y reg Datsun Cherry in chocolate brown exterior, beige interior, lovely to drive. I now know it was a 4th generation model, a few years old at that time. I didn’t see any 3rd or 4th generation Cherry models in your coverage so I presume they are rare now.

[@thatcheapguy525]

so many long forgotten great Japanese classics. the original Cherry is so beautiful, I had an SC100 briefly in the 80s, the Cube is SO coooool, love those RX3s 4s & 5s, Mk1 MR2 - the perfected X1/9, 240/260Z Capri eaters and the cute little Figaro. such a shame the formidable steel worm ate most of them. haven't been to NL for 40-odd years but it still looks as clean beautiful and well kept as I remember it. bet the food is still great too!

[@icascone]

0:39 "Cuore" does indeed mean "Heart" in Italian but it also derivative from the word "Courage" or "Coraggio" in Italian... (I think it's lovely to know that)

[@HubNut]

Cheers. How's my pronunciation?

[@icascone]

@@HubNut Actually pretty good! :)

[@davidmilne5122]

Great show! So many older models from my youth in the 70’ and into the 80’s and 90’s. I had a ‘78 Datsun 120Y, and ‘95 Civic 3dr (a rare VEi) for many years which I really wish I’d kept! Loved the Mazda 323F mk1 and so wanted a Diahatsu Charade GTti…..

[@happyhermit2022]

Well...that was the best surprise...and Saturday night taken care of... brilliant...loved it...those first gen Celica's...were really good looking...and the Datsun 120Y ...very very good looking practical car.. especially in that lovely aqua blue 💙

[@TheTorkerman]

What a MASSIVE show, wow!

[@TaffPlays]

1:06:03 Also known as the Brumby in Australia. My grandpa had one of those as his last ever car. Had it until the day he died over 9 years ago!

[@AlfaGiuliaQV]

When i was a kid in the ´80s my grandparents had a Mazda 1800 de luxe station wagon from 1971 i believe. It was painted "chicken yellow" as i called it and was in excellent condition. It lived on a farm and was used once every week for carrying crates of egg to a grocery shop 15 km away which my grandfathers brother owned and ran., hence it was very low mileage. Even the wiper blades were original matte silver painted... I wish i could have bought it off them and still have it but sadly they traded it for a brand new 626 in 1989 and i was too young at only 14

[@allanmollison6971]

Excellent video and show. Much appreciated it, thanks for sharing Ian. 😊👍

[@FrankJCarver]

Datsun 120Ys were everywhere in the UK, in the 1970s and early 1980s, especially turquoise models. Very popular with Indian shopkeepers, who loved them for their fuel economy.

[@philipwilliamson2798]

What an amazing show. Great video as ever 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Ian watching your Japan car meeting again ,I wish these car manufacturers would make cars like these again but with a modern twist,today’s cars are so umdrum .great video again mate 👍

[@Stratospherian]

@44:07 It would be interesting if you at some point can get your hands on a 2 cylinder Daihatsu Coure/Mira!. Besides 4 and 5 speed gearboxes there were a 2-speed Daimatic (semi auto) and a 2-speed automatic.

[@TheGarnetNugget]

41:14 ah yes, the break-in attempt was caught on camera! The perps quickly fled but I caught up with them a couple minutes later 😂 thanks for showing off all the cars I missed, can't believe the amount of stuff I didn't see!

[@GentilsGarage]

This is absolutely fantastic, never realised there was so much following of Japanese cars in the Netherlands. Another place I know that has a big Japanese following is in Portugal. Fantastic video an walk around Ian.

[@reddermot]

This is the best coverage yet! I am seriously considering attendance next year. Bonus points for rotary content ... apart from NZ and Oz, you'll struggle to see an RX-4 anywhere. The Rx-3 that showed up is ultra rare. It is actually an Rx-3SP, a USDM only edition. Special mention too for the 616. Also available as a rotary engined option and badged variously as a Capella or Rx-2 depending on the market. The 616 though is a rare enough sight in Europe. I think I've already talked myself into a roadtrip ......

[@worldhello1234]

@43:10 Toyota Crown Super Deluxe, an upmarket version of the Toyota Crown Comfort, probably with the 2.0 inline 6 out of the Lexus IS 200 but with highest power output + 5 HP. @43:23 It is a commercial version of the Crown used as taxis or by government agencies. @43:41 No, it is clearly an Toyota Altezza, probably a RS200 with the high revving 2.0 4 cylinder. @46:06 It is probably a Toyota Altezza Gita because it has the Altezza badge not the Lexus badge but might be a replica. It doesn't mean much that it is RHD if it is a lookalike. It is pimped and cleaned, so who knows? @54:53 The Aristo was sold with a twin-turbo 2jz, unlike the Lexus GS300, AFAIK.

[@fritzkuhne2055]

That second generation Celica still reminds me of the Mustang II. Nice video.

[@viking7509]

Thanks for showing my (according to you) poverty spec Daihatsu Cuore L200 around the 27 minute mark. Its actually a mid spec model. The rear window wiper was only on the most luxurious TX models. Lovely to see you there and thanks again for filming us! 😊😊

I love old Japanese cars. My first car was a 1978 Datsun 510 hatchback in blue with chrome rims and louvers on the back window. I currently have three Nissan Sentras (2011, 2013, and 2015).

[@alansmith1770]

Wow how many Japenese cars. The Matteria there is one in my town. Some of the older motors I remember from years gone by. My friend had a 180B Bluebird. And a sadly departed friend had a Justy & then Legasies.
