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

It was hard to comprehend the quantity and quality at Japan Classic Sunday, held in Dorst, The Netherlands on 7th July 2024. It never disappoints!
Honda, Toyota, Datsun/Nissan, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, Suzuki, Subaru and even Hyundai, Kia and Daewoo were represented as near-neighbours were also welcomed. We took our Perodua Kenari.

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. ❤

[@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!

[@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 🍻

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@iandavies8061]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 !!!!!

[@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

[@jinxylad71]

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

[@peter_is_my_name]

Wow! This video certainly gives value for money.

[@TheCounty90]

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

[@grahamcockerill2406]

Well done Ian, loved the vid mate.

[@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

[@fritzkuhne2055]

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

[@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 ...

[@mrtracy6398]

Ian ,another great vid love your overseas cappers 👍

[@67tomcat]

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

[@stephenjcuk7562]

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

[@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

[@percyob1]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Invisibleman7]

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

[@TheTorkerman]

What a MASSIVE show, wow!

[@dungbetel]

Phenomenal show! Thanks for the tour!

[@alansimpson835]

So happy to see the Kenari prove a grand roadtrip companion. Nothing more satisfying than spending £200 on a car which turns out to be a good egg. Loved the return to the supplying dealer too. Fingers crossed the MOT goes well

[@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!)

[@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?. 😅

[@daveowen9481]

I really loved watching this. Thanks so much Ian!

[@Hectors-Maison]

Didn't rain Dats-un-cogs & stayed Niss-an-Sunny all day 😊

[@maxcopen4676]

Brilliant, great to watch. Thank you.

[@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!

[@kubasorama]

Greetings from Precis crew! :) Awesome video!

[@allanmollison6971]

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

[@mrtracy6398]

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 👍

[@theshowmanuk]

Brilliant show Hubnut. Great.

[@TheMbfarm]

17:51 Thanks for showing my Subaru legacy 😄

[@HubNut]

Great to see one!

[@philipwilliamson2798]

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

[@gregburkhart9764]

Well. That was amazing. Thanks!

[@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.

[@scalecrawlnl]

Thank you very much! Excellent event report👌

[@Ricketik65]

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

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

Mitsubishi now just badge engineered Renaults. I saw a Mitsubishi version of the current Clio a few weeks ago in St Malo. Hard to believe seeing a French registered one since the french really only love buying French (enmasse) and have no idea why someone would buy one over the Renault badged one!

[@richardorchard3364]

Finally two Subaru Brats,but my favorite is the Red Datsun Pickup,thanks Ian.

[@aslandama]

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

[@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!)

[@davidsherratt4581]

This is amazing 🤩

[@ColinCarFan]

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

[@richardharibo]

Amazing footage thanks Ian. That Mitsubishi ASX reminded of a Renault then I checked and it's a rebadged Renault Cature.

[@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 ......

[@orange_light_pictures]

I was hoping to see either a Suzuki Vitara or Jimminy. what an amazing selection, all of the cool rear lights.

[@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!

[@peterdelaat273]

Lovely footage, hope to see you next year as well

[@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.

[@Oldspeed86]

Ian the Japanese car shows or JDM car shows are the best part for me on Your channel HubNut! No offense 😂 but I wish I was there with pointing out the ones that puzzle you because I know them all! Can’t wait until the next one! 💪🏼🏁

[@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!

[@fritzkuhne2055]

LOL this part was hilarious!

[@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.

[@tinniswood2577]

Absolute feast of lovely Japanese classics.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@gregbeliveau4773]

Greetings from Texas! I am pretty sure that Texas edition emblem is from a Chevy Silverado truck. Excellent use of the badge😀

[@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!

[@pablojones5613]

Great video Ian. Kudos.

[@johnalees99]

Seeing all those 120y's makes me miss my mine. I had a rusty panel van before I got my dad's hand me down wagon. My girlfriend's first car was also a 120y, which was written off when a motorbike t-boned the front fender. Would love to find another one for a Sunday cruiser but the rarity of spare parts is a concern.

[@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.

[@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.

[@OPPERROUER]

Thank you for the nice coverage, Ian. Greetings from Belgium. Danny (blue Honda Quintet owner)

[@tomwinch9107]

Great show, glad it didn't rain all day

[@HubNut]

It sadly did later on. See my Perodua roadtrip home video!

[@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 💙

[@wasabicars]

Oh! That Bellatrix Yellow Toyota 1600 GT5 was special! Engine is two thirds a Toyota 2000GT's. (I'll watch the rest of this video later)

[@mrjsv4935]

Awesome event and video, lots of Japanese cars from the good old days, very big event :) So nice that people show the special features of their cars, like the Mazda 626 4WS 👍

[@volvo480]

It was the first time I went there and it was absolutely amazing! Next year I hope I can persuade my petrol headed optician to come with his Toyota Century V12. And if you're coming next year I will buy you a "broodje kroket" again. Dutch cuisine at its finest. 😂😂😂

[@HubNut]

Dank je wel!

[@MollyMotions]

Lovely voice to listen to, and gave me a little chuckle how the second 323 saloon threw you off compared to my little stock 323 saloon 😂❤️ love to hear all the little facts about the cars! Keep it up!

[@romac9516]

Another thing that never disappoints - Ian with a camera in a field full of cars!

[@Rich.Aardvark]

Goosebumps

[@Phiyedough]

I'm clueless about Japanese cars so I was impressed by your identification skills!

[@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.

[@CauliflowerMcPugg]

Awesome event, so many cars my brain hurts.

[@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.

[@jonforis]

HubNut gem! Awesome turnout of vehicles with encyclopaedic knowledge to identify them in real time! A real treat. That M100 Sirion at 1:07:30 isn't exactly the same as either the yellow '98 Sirion or Miss Daisy which have both graced the fleet. It has flares on the apron (to lead into side-skirts), mesh grille, fog lights and a centred aerial mount rather than it being pillar-mounted so that all means it has the 4-pot 1.3L 101bhp (@7000rpm) engine. I couldn't see wheels clearly but the UK-market 5-gear manual 1.3SL has 6-spoke (model-specific) trims whereas the F-Speed has 5-spoke alloys to go with its sequential paddles which can supersede 4-speed auto changes (for an extra grand on RRP). The previous paragraph contains pretty much the sum total of my knowledge of Japanese cars (not forgetting the nugget that Daihatsus like to rust). Kudos to HubNut!

[@tonysargent7787]

another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍

[@justinlambert1324]

Mega!! Cracking cars 😎👍

[@bombakdik]

Where have all the Space Wagons gone? Into space? I remember them being everywhere as a kid…

[@DUCato-ed3fw]

It took a while but eventually spotted a red Charade GTti in amongst that little lot (ex owner...) 👌

[@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…..

[@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!

[@rahmann936]

An enjoyable video with a big variety of classic Japanese cars.👍👌👏👏👏 Quite a lot of orangery red coloured cars I noticed. 👍 I don't recall seeing a Honda Ballade, like what I used to have, but everything else that was Japanese was there though.👍😁 Definitely couldn't pick out a favourite. But as I've currently got a thing for cars with mudflaps, so any car from that meet up with mudflaps gets my vote.👍👌👏👏
