It never ceases to maze me just how many cars show up o these events. There must be literally 1,000''s of garages in the UK holding these cars and an absolute fortune spent on an annual basis keeping them on the road. True dedication. Between your good self and Harley you manage to monopolise my Sunday mornings. Jag 420G simply magnificent I owned a 1963 Humber Super Snipe in the early 70's a terrific car in many ways. I actually sold it for a small profit.
I had a 69 Sunbeam Rapier similar to the one seen at 1:38:00, it was a great car to learn how to do body work on, it came loaded with rust at no cost!! It was imported into Canada by Chrysler, had a Penta Star on the passenger lower front wing.. Single SU, 1725cc, bought it for $500 from a friend and drove it home (500 miles) from his place, It was my first standard car and not my last English car. Sold it for $500 after three years,, it had a wood dash!!
He seems to only highlight British cars and just skirts past foreign makes apart from porche he looks at these old Brit cars that some are too old and should be in a museum?&
You mentioned the 70 mph limit on major motorways. We have the same but most cruise at 80 without intervention. That was one major reason I switched to a Transit five speed the fifth giving 0.8 overdrive so my 63 B900 series V 4/4 keeps up withought undue stress and then some should the road be straight and spirit tempoarily willing. At which point I recall that I put in the Gemmer steering box myself and did I check tire status recently?
Excellent video of a wide selection of Classic cars for all tastes on show here. The Dodge Charger exiting at the end was an absolute beast of a car. With the Ford Mustang Fastback also turning up, they reminded me of that brilliant car chase from Bullit with Steve Mc Queen.
Just outstanding as ever Rick , as you say in a beautiful setting , you manage to include so much detail and perspective of so many.I could gladly take a few home, the superbly elegant Rolls 20/25hp Sedanca Coupe , most likely with coachwork by Gurney Nutting at 3.32, JJ 5549, the gorgeous Sunbeam ( Talbot ) Alpine, but probably the most incredible and rare , the Invicta Black Prince.Then again , wouldn't say no to the ' 65 Velocette Venom Thruxton- wow that exhaust note !.
Looking at the MGBs is interesting. Early cars didn't come with side view mirrors, in fact most cars didn't until the end of the 60's. They were fitted by the dealer as an accessory, usually 2/3 way along the top of the front wing (or wings if you got two). Reason I noticed is that MGB door skins were quite prone to splitting vertically under the quarter light where door mounted mirrors could be. Along with telescopic radio aerials on the wings, they just drilled holes in the bodywork with predictable results. Wing mirrors were always a bit "difficult" unless you had something like a Mini.
If I ever want to down size to a pokey little house, with a postage stamp of a garden, gawsworth hall would be ideal!🤣🤣🤣👍🇬🇧ps always try to get a cortina mk1 on film, for the big fan of the channel, Mr Biddle.👍
There’s a man in Iowa [ I believe], who recreates the Bat Mobile under License, for sale. He made the news not too long ago when a client [ who missed some payments- and was pushed back in line], got mad, and pulled a “favor “, from his local California police chief, and had a team of investigators raid his place. Something of a scandal, and the builder was CLEARED of ALL charges, which led to investigation of the California police chief and his. 📻🙂
Hi Rick I have never seen so many startling cars even on your videos. The Black Prince was one of my favourites however I was spoilt for choice what a fabulous venue. Thank you for a fabulous day out.
Thanks for doing this one, Rick. Amazing selection of cars on a not so nice day. My favorite was the Invicta Black Prince – it is so elegant and to me looks very custom with the sleek body and no hint of running boards. The only thing to have made it better would be to take a couple inches out of the top height. I know that cars of that era needed "hat room", but lower would have been better for me. There were so many cars you showed that I will never see in person and I thank you for that. The blue early Triumph with the three position drop head was just spectacular. I can't imagine rechroming that grille and getting it so straight!
Wonderful show Richard . There were several favourites . That '63 split rear screen Stingray ….WOW! That '66 Porsche was probably a 912 , l did a very major repair /restoration in the early 1980's on one . The GT6 was a conundrum , the mk2 is my favourite . The Jenson FF. It's possible l repainted this car in the early '90's . If you're a Ford man you may have thought it was finished in Aubergine . Jensen called it Cassis ! Well,and so many others, incredible !Thankyou.
Amazing show!! So many cars. You asked if we have any favourites? Phew! So many… Really like the TR6, the Wolsey six land crab (had one myself) the Saab 99 in orange 🍊 the Interceptors. And I spotted a stunning looking yellow Mustang Mach 1. Loved the red Ginetta and Mini coopers.
Super video, Richard. The best show/meet on your channel so far, IMO. Such a variety of cars and so many not seen before. Nice to see the cars leaving the event and to hear the different engine notes.
NOT ONE EURO 7 COMPLIANT, COMPLIANT WITH THE EU HYPOCRISY GROUP
Brill so much to see and take in 👍
Your knowledge is outstanding…once again thank you for your video.
I'm still amazed at just how many cars turn up at these shows. Fantastic.

Great to see these videos you make. Would have loved to be in the England to see a show or two and maybe even meet you there, keep the good work up!
That was truly awesome
, So many cars that I would take home. Thank you another great video.
Do these shows happen all year long or is there a "Season"?

cheer's mate enjoyed it thoroughly''.
Good job of mixing up the vantage points for different perspectives.
From the driver's garb I surmised the weather to be same as ours. Upon checking it is about identical.
and still not a Puma in sight ? ….
Thank you for a great video. I hope these videos don't detract from your enjoyment of the shows.

I believe that taxation HP. Formula favored long stroke (oversquare) engines and therefore grill shape.

I meant undersquare.

Great show !!
I've always had a soft spot for the Wolseley 1500. No idea why.
