Great video! Was fun to have a chat!

[@greatwesterner1]

Great video and presentation 👏

[@Lot76CARS]

Really enjoyed the day yesterday, some wonderful cars, a few weird one and some great interviews with the owners!

[@robbrady4649]

Thanks for featuring some of the quirkier cars at the show. The Avenger and Manta were standouts for me.

[@Lot76CARS]

Thanks Rob, you can’t beat a colour coded Manta, I always wanted one of those myself!

[@stevem7868-y4l]

great cars, and lots of rust buckets

[@Lot76CARS]

Indeed many hours blood, sweat and tears before some see the road again!

The y reg golf gti in black is a 1800. The 1600 was only used for the first few years, S, T and possibly V before switching to 1800cc

[@Lot76CARS]

Thanks, that’s a good point!

The maestro colour was zircon blue

[@Lot76CARS]

Thanks Kevin, ‘Moonraker’ must be darker maybe. Lovely colour isn’t it?

I nearly bought a 1975 Consult GT 3.0 manual in red in the 80’s, it had around 13000 miles on it, like new , but did score a 75’ Audi 100S (HOC770N) factory black with 20,000 miles on it for £350 that I restored with all new Audi panels (2 wings 1 door, and a bonnet) cost around £1300 with the paint , then sold it to my nephew that did a knightrider impersonation with it 🤦🏻‍♂️ those were the days 😆

[@Lot76CARS]

If we knew then what we know now we’d hung on to these! Consul GTs are so rare now

[@martiniv8924]

@@Lot76CARS I looked for months and months at the time for the GT, yes very rare, a bit like the 100S and 3 70’s Audi saloons, the 131 mirafiori sport, Celica ST1600’s etc etc. Ce la vie 🤦🏻‍♂️

The ford probe was a disaster.As you know it was suppossed to fill in the by then missing capri gap.It was too american in styling for us that actually once owned a capri.That mk 5 cortina was nice.Ford totally lost it in the uk by the mid 1980,s.Ok the mk1 mondeo and mk3 granadas saved the day but that was it.Every ford now looks like any other car just in different paint.
