THANK YOU MY LOVE ONLY OLD BRITISH CLASSIC CARS

[@oldclassiccarUK]

very good

[@tomday7309]

Thanks Richard. I love this venue which is very picturesque. Harley scored with that box of bulbs and you as well. I may have to look through my garage again as Harley got some nice larger oiling cans. Have to keep up with the bits and bobs!

[@thewholeshebangandsome75]

Your videos are always insightful and informative with the commentary. Great work

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thank-you!

[@chalouisminouchon4487]

Beautiful

[@XTours]

Perfect

[@nevillestumbles4631]

Wonderful presentation with beautiful clear photography. My favourites would include the 1934 Buick (not really rare in Australia during the 1940s and 1950s), the white Mark 9 Jaguar, the Humber Super Snipe, and the magnificent 1949 Cadillac Fleetwood.

[@stephenoliver1437]

Good to see epic video and you’ve purchased some useful parts well done

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks Stephen, it was a fun show!

[@tomday7309]

Holy Cow....I was looking at the Corvette Stingrays at 12:28 and what should appear at 12:30 but a gold 1989 Chrysler New Yorker!! Of all the American cars to own, an "M" body Chrysler no less. Amazing to see one in such good condition in the UK let alone here in the homeland of the marque when it was new.

[@TheSeanJourney]

That was my white mk1 mondeo towards the end, thanks for the video it was a great show!

[@markchandler1130]

My first car was also a Spitfire….1968 MK3. Greetings from USA!

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Hi Mark, great choice !! :)

[@michaeljohnston6527]

the riley kestrel is on a northern ireland plate super video so many wonderful cars to see keep it up lads

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Probably the most famous Cortina Mk111 GXL of all ,' Swampy ' the one previous Essex owner car totally rebuilt by Pete C and the subject of many fascinating videos .Usual 5 star content from this top channel !.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks Roger, yes I've heard of that GXL before, quite the rebuild

[@helenphillips4204]

MK4 zodiac, what great cars they were xx

[@michaeljohnston6527]

wow love the super snipe what a car

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Hi Michael yes it was just fantastic, thanks for watching

[@bobspeller2225]

Great display of classic cars and a fantastic looking event. Some of the cars bring back lots of memories. Thanks for sharing this and your invested in producing the another interesting video. All the best Bob

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks Bob

[@allanriches9381]

That Humber Super Snipe caught my eye, what a beautiful car. Another well produced video of cars as far as the eye can see. Well done.😊

[@ratty383]

Another great vid, seeing that Silver MK3 Zodiac early on reminded me how many owners of these big Fords used to paint the rear panel between the chrome trims Red to emulate the later MK4 cars full width rear lamp effect. As usual you found some real gems including the Two Princess wedges and the 3.4 Jag. It’s great to see the mint cars but sometimes it’s the sheer rarity of the cars at these shows which makes your vids so great to watch. Great job 👏

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks ratty!! I try and show a bit of everything

[@johndavey72]

Hi Richard . Very full and busy day ! That Super Snipe was amazing .....and not restored !!! Like you , that '49 Fleetwood was wonderful . But l was slightly disappointed with the lack of older Jaguars . Thanks Richard .

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Hi John, it would have been nice to have the older Jaguars all together agreed, but at least they were around if you went looking. Thanks for watching.

[@MarkMatthews-z3j]

Thanks for another great video Rick, Loved seeing the Vauxhall Royale coupe and Magnum 1800 also that Jensen CV8 what a stunning car, keep up the great content.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks Mark!

[@Stallzyx]

I was there too. Was a great day but always takes me ages to go through the footage. The red TT was leaving just as I got there really and spotted them in one of your older Capesthorne vlogs I think. The red Esprit was probably one of my favourites of the show.

[@jeffking4176]

At 24:25. Favorites so far 1949 Cadillac, 2nd gen. Cortina Wagons, Singer Vogue, And of course, the Pre-war Rolls. 🚗🙂

[@michaeltreadwell777]

WOW Rick, what a video ! HUGE line up and something for everyone there. I'm with you - the Humber Super Snipe or the Saab 99 Turbo would be my 'take home' cars from that lot - one day when I win the Lottery ! One thing I wish is that people would not put on after market wheels - personally, I prefer a car to be in original guise. Thanks for sharing. Take care 🙂

[@davidkendall2992]

You caught my Mazda MX6 arriving. You are quite right, you don't see many of them about these days. Last time I checked there where just 67 still registered at the DVLA as being on the road and around 100 SORNED. Owned from new, it has just 38k on it and is completely original.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

It's certainly not something I see many of at all nowadays, an elegant looking car

[@jeffking4176]

1:27:11, the Renault 9 built by AMC in the U.S. was called the “Alliance “, with the 3 door hatch, “Encore” There was also a Convertible available. 📻🙂

[@Embracing01]

Capesthorne Hall used to hold a kit car show, I think (as far as I can recall) it was the only kit car show they ever held, which was in 2004. I remember seeing a Challenger E-Type replica there as well as a D Type replica (though no idea if it was a Realm D Type), plus lots of Caterham/Lotus 7 type kit cars, a Jag XK140 kit car as well, plus a few classic cars. I wonder why they have never held this kit car show since?.

[@jeffking4176]

56:35❗️. WOW - [ Jaguar]. 📻🙂

[@jeffking4176]

1:13:25 - BMW: That “paint “ is a “Rhino-Line” type coating. Here in Florida, this coating is not only used for the beds of Pickup trucks, but whole vehicles, especially raised up 4x4 trucks. The coating is rock hard. Prevents scratches, and rust. [ and just about anything else.] 📻🙂

[@oldclassiccarUK]

I thought I'd seen that stuff before somewhere

[@jeffking4176]

@@oldclassiccarUK It’s crazy to do a whole vehicle, but I see it sometimes. Whole trucks. But in a place prone to hurricanes and flooding and such, ….. 📻🙂

[@Vince_uk]

There is something very appealing about a 4 seater convertible I have always fancied one to be honest.While I understand why the Hump Of Doom is there I would have thought that for a show such as this they would somehow try to minimise it for the event such as a gently sloped temporary ramp.That Humber Super Snipe is truly a magnificent car.A lot of work pulling these videos together. My favourite has to be the yellow RR Silver Shadow II, I can definitely see myself in that, followed by the Jag MKIX. Each and every one of these cars is someones pride and joy.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

"... Each and every one of these cars is someones pride and joy ..." yes that's definitely the case, not everything is my cup of tea but they are all someone's P&J/moneypit :-)

[@richardhalliday6469]

Thank you Rick for another fantastic trip down memory lane, I always look forward to your presentations and commentary. My particular favourites were the Imps - so many fantastic memories for me as my late wife and I had a Super Imp reg. YCX 51J in our early courting days and first couple of early married years . Happy days.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Glad it was of interest!

[@timbrookes3699]

Saab 96s also had bolt on panels

[@oldclassiccarUK]

I remember the wings being bolted-on on my crusty 95 van, I'm not sure that the roof unbolted too on the 95 or 96 but it's been a while since I was last around old SAABs!! Thanks for watching.

[@paulhelman2376]

Your I Spy lists a Morgan 4/4 Series ii. I have a series V ?? Points.

[@giulianomarco]

Favourites: #1 Vauxhall Magnum 1800 1:02:13 1:49:26, #2 Vauxhall Astra Belmont LXi 1:21:07 and #3 Austin A60 Cambridges 1:01:22 1:40:25 😁👍

[@robbrady4649]

At 32:07, are open wheels allowed on nowadays? I was always under the impression wheels /tyres had to be covered by a mud guard in Britain.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

I know many cars have quick release guards for the road, similar to those used on competition cars that are driven to/from hillclimbs etc, so that could be the case with car(s) in the video

[@DrifterWill]

My Father owns the Morris 8 Tourer along with a 2 door Morris 8 Saloon that was featured on a previous video at the Avro Heritage Museum :). The saloon is a 1934 model and the tourer is a 1936 model. I also own the Clove Brown Austin Mini Mayfair that was featured on a video at Capesthorne Hall last year and is in the back of a few shots in this video. It has been in the family since 2003 and I have owned it since 2010, truly my forever car. Thank you for the brilliant videos!

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Glad you're liking these uploads, always a treat to see pre-war cars in particular at these events! Thanks for watching.

[@Smartbadger51]

Hi, I owned the Morris 8 Tourer CYU 140 until summer of 2016 so your Dad probably bought it from me unless there has been another owner in between times. I bought it specifically to take my Dad out in as he had always fancied one. I upgraded the engine to Series E along with a 4-speed gearbox which made it a much better drive. I hope your Dad is enjoying it. Best wishes, Alan

[@DrifterWill]

@@Smartbadger51 Hello, I have just asked him and he remembered your name straight off! He adores ‘Ruby’ and regularly uses her for tootling around and attending local shows. Great to hear from you. Best wishes, Will.

[@darrylmcleman6456]

We saw a Morris 1ooo just before the 58 Buick and being a lifelong resident of Canada(lefthand drive} it looked from here that the black and white dog was at the wheel driving the Morris!!! CHEERS from HERE!!!

[@chrisrumble2665]

It's a great video but the 40 or so ad breaks rendered it almost unwatchable.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks Chris, it was more like 25 according to the automated ad positioning thing that YT does but I've trimmed them back manually to make them less frequent now.

[@jeffking4176]

Toyota Corolla Levin. [Lighning]. 1983-1987. *49:51 🚗🙂

[@oldclassiccarUK]

It looks like a JDM car as they weren't sold here new AFAIK

[@jeffking4176]

@@oldclassiccarUK Don’t know. Hard to find much info on it. There was another version of it, with a different name. So quite possibly you could be right. There weren’t many made, and only certain Dealers got these. Definitely an interesting car. 📻🙂

[@davidlinstrand5913]

The same cars come and go, week after week, round and round, no difference.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Fortunately you have the option not to watch if you don't like sometimes seeing cars that have featured before.

[@peterward3965]

So many vehicles to like, love the Goldfinger Rolls as you say 😂 Take home for me has to be 1st, the stunning Humber Super Snipe lV, 2nd, Toyota Crown Coupe, and 3rd the humble and cute Hillman Minx Phase Vl convertible. Some lovely original looking cars, but some owners fit non spec wheels which is totally out of character. To me it just ruins the look of the car. Each to their own taste I suppose. Obviously they have bad taste, and I say that with love in my voice 😂 Another enjoyable video, thank you, but looking forward to another street scene car video from yesteryear.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Thanks Peter, yes there'll be more olde worlde scenes along before too long, at the moment there are so many shows going on!

Hi, how many cars were on display here ?

[@oldclassiccarUK]

I didn't count them sorry, the organisers say 1000 classics but I'm not sure it's that many. Thanks for watching.

[@jakmoan]

Beautiful singer vogue but the Americana seems to out trump all our bland cars of the 60s

[@oldclassiccarUK]

They were certainly very different approaches to mass car manufacture, thanks for watching

[@petervisor]

546FTE ‽

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Hi if it's the car I'm thinking of, it's a car based on a BMW Z3, bodied in the style of Aston Martin racers of the 1950s.

[@jasonwinters9807]

I find that a lot of the British classic car shows these days are catering for too many American cars... Can they not have their own dedicated car shows ?

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Most shows tend to allow entry to cars from anywhere, it's usually more down to age rather than country of origin. There are US-specific shows already, in addition to these shows with a broader acceptance criteria. Thanks for watching.

[@ronaldmurray7746]

So boring, a personality.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

Judging by your comments I can only aspire to one day having your effervescent wit and charm, maybe one day (sigh). In the meantime I'll check out your videos and get some tips on how to improve .. oh wait
