Very enjoyable, good spot to film. I could not help thinking of that film, Carry on Screaming with Kenneth Williams as Dr Watt sitting in one of those larger cars!! I expect it will be on telly over Christmas. I also enjoy your band videos. Thank you.

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you for watching the videos.

I love, love, love antique cars! You caught a gold mine! The best of the best! I'm all flustered! I'm going to save this so I can watch it over and over without having to hunt. Thank you so, so much. So beautifully and lovingly restored!

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

Great place to stand and you got so many of the cars. Well done and thank you. I was driving one of them in the video, not often that happens, and my passengers were chuffed to see it and in front of Buck House as well!

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you, hope you made it down to Brighton ok. 👍

[@Splashlube]

@@MrBaton74 We did thanks with minor adjustments to the brakes en route 🙂. Being in the last batch to leave we got caught in traffic and arrived later than normal.

I absolutely love this video. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video. I watched them all from "Starbucks" on the Brighton road, Hooley in Surrey, but they were traveling along with all the other traffic. It's so lovely to be able to see them so clearly in this wonderful video.

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you.

Reminds me of the old comedy film that was always on the tele in the 70s. Genevieve with kenneth more. London to brighton with veteran cars but it was a race in the film. That was the theme music for it right at the start so i guess your old enough, like me, to remember it as well. A fine collection of jalopies and penny farthings. When the old fire engine went by i was looking for benny hill from anothe 70s film those magnificent men in their flying machines. Unbelievable there are so many of these things still running...

@vickyRoyalHistory Hiya vicky. Great memories of bellylaughing, something i rarely do these days, at some great slapstick comedy in TMMITFM. The german entry with their strict military adherence to efficiency and literally doing it by the book. The guy reading the instruction handbook as he was actually taking off got me and the rest of my family laughing our heads off at the time. That along with CCBB which was more adventure/fantasy, i believe both were released in the 60s but repeatedly came on uk tv in the 70s. Genevieve was actually made one year before i was born in 1953 so from a different era and generation. It still has a lot of charm and is still around on you tube to watch as i just checked. It involves their jalopies falling apart a lot unlike these shown here. Good luck and happy birthday to your great nephew on his 13th birthday.

Hi, yes I remember that film, that's why I hunted around for a little bit of the theme, I remember it was Larry Adler on his harmonica. Just thought the clip needed a little bit of music at the beginning, faded it out so you could hear the cars though, think the sound of them is just as entertaining. The old fire engine reminded me of Dad's Army, I've got some old footage of some of the cast of Dad's Army driving around on the fire engine from about 2000, might have to find that out and post it, as another "Something Completely Different"video. Glad you enjoyed this video though. Thank you.

Gert Frobe, playing the German officer in TMMITFM, "A German Officer can do anything" of course he was also in Chitty Chatty Bang Bang as one of the spies who tried to steal Chitty and one of his most notable roles as Auric Goldfinger in the James Bond film.@@colby25

[@MrBaton74]

I loved the old black & white Ealing comedies, Passport to Pimlico, The Best Years of our Lives, to name a couple. Margaret Rutherford and Alistair Sims, great performers who could turn their hands to comedy or serious roles. @vickyRoyalHistory

[@shaza7657]

Loved it my favorite film will come to watch this one day thankyou

[@keithnichols7926]

Good to see so many old-timers still in running order, and that includes the automobiles ! The sound was almost as enjoyable as the sight, although some of the vehicles sounded as if Brighton might be a bit out of their range. How many cars took part?

[@Splashlube]

348 started and 45 retired broken.

[@derekantill3721]

Even in those days they had some electric cars. How many of today’s electric cars will still be going in 80 years time ?
