She is beautiful. Brings back memories of my Mk 2 Spitfire '66 . I still love that car even though I had to get rid of it in '80. I would love to find and old girl like her but... You know how your friend had problems, same here. Getting one would just be the start, let alone restoring it! Anyway thanks for the drive and the memories it evoked, so much so that i've sub'd to you, see you later....PS.glad to see you had or maybe she came with, the bonnet locks, that definitely reminded me of my Spit, she had the same. Something of a security addition, much to my peace of mind!

Hi Sean, another interesting video and some very nice driving roads. Have a good week. Bob

What an interesting video. I live in Boxted just a mile or so from Hartest. Such a beautiful part of the country.

Apologies everyone. The Audi coupe is apparently the real deal... Fire up the QUATTRO!

It’s a ‘full blooded quattro’ with a 2.2l turbo charged 20 valve 5 cylinder engine (RR designation) putting out 220 bhp in standard form

❤

Hello Sean, thank you for another interesting and pleasurable day out! Perhaps, sometime, you can take us to some of the mediaeval places of interest in Aldeburgh and Snape. Best wishes, C.

A sunny Sunday morning driving an open top car through a quintessentialy English village with church bells ringing. What more could one want! Couldn't get to Thorpeness this year but good to see the cars.

**THORPY AND THE THORPETTES!!**

The warning on the back window of the Wolsely that "this car uses trafficators" made me chuckle a little. I doubt if most modern drivers would even know what a trafficator is. Let alone be looking for a strange orange pointer thingy popping out from the 'B' pillar.😂 It's still a considerate gesture evenso. Maybe the owner is hedging a little self-preservation, too. Great video. I very much enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

Great video, very nice put together. The show looked good. Hope to catch up with at some point, still knee deep in un-packing boxes and tip runs, The Stag is being used more now we moved and makes me happy and de-stressed after a nice run around the lane here in Oxfordshire, you would like some of these drive, so try and make it to the last Bicester Scramble of 2024 on the 8th of October. Hope to see you then. All the best Bob

I wish they'd bring back overdrive on third and fourth

I really will have to try to get there next year Sean! I’d have trouble deciding whether to drive off in the Packard or the Tiger (I should be so lucky…) Wonderful video as always, thanks ☺️ As for Tess, fingers crossed she’s cured. Did you replace the condenser in the end? I found mine played up erratically when the engine got hot.

That Vanguard thou' such presence, so solid, tough as old boots, remind me somewhat of a battleship, especially in grey, I do like the Beetleback version.

The Red Packard HPB117 was first registered September 1938

The 4 door white Rover BPW495 was first registered in 1937

A lot of those just post war cars, didn't have Chromed trim, it was often painted silver because of post war austerity, indeed, even getting a new car in those early post war years was nigh on impossible, unless you were a certain profession, such as a Doctor etc

Driving down those country lanes, if the car in front gets past the oncoming traffic, then you KNOW you will fit, because all the moderns are wider than the Vitesse!

Lotus 7s AND mini mokes!

I miss the Church Bells, I miss England.

Lovely drive of an iconic car

Hello Sean. I've finally got to this video (my To View list just keeps getting longer and longer!). I read Group Captain Cheshire's autobiography some time in my teens (clearly, a very long time ago) - it's certainly high time I read it again. Cheshire Homes are operational here in SA; my mother was something of a supporter (along with every animal charity there is!). I find it very inspiring that you have been sufficiently inspired by Cheshire to change the course of your own life. My hat's off to you. It's a pity I wasn't able to join you and your subscribers for the drive; I hope that a very good time was had by all. Very best wishes, Colin.

That sounds awesome

Anyone see my Dads bus

Excellent video, thanks, Sean. The next best thing to actually being there (as long as I could still have your commentary, of course!) As regards that other matter, it seems that my family historian and his sources have all disappeared - so no further information concerning the service career of my grandmother, I'm afraid. Best wishes, Colin.

Couldn't make it this year so thanks for the vid.

Thank you for creating this content Sean, it was a very enjoyable Tuesday evening viewing, I must make sure I attend next year. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your weekly(ish) videos.

Thanks for the lovely comments on my little Fulvia

I nearly decided to go there this year Sean. Now I wish I had! Must do it next time. Like you I lust after the Alvis, but the 420g, Stingray and Sunbeam Tiger would hit the spot as well. Thanks for such a comprehensive look.

Thank You so much for this video, it really made my day!

Maclarens, no thanks, absurdly over-priced with weak conrods, and panels screwed on with mild steel fasteners rather than stainless steel. For the kind of money they are asking, they should do better, a lot better.

I adore Aston Martins, so very English

I almost bought a DeLorean once. But I am glad I didn't, underpowered, poor handling, engine issues and painted chassis that rusts. A good conception, but stymied by lack of development

Those Jensens though, 😍 Lovely.

Those Maseratis are beguiling but they have a LOT of $erious engine issues.

MX-5s are lovely cars, but oh boy can they rust!

That 1938 Sunbeam Talbot is incredibly rare! And that 1950 Jaguar isn't exactly common. Very true what you said about the effect the war had on the British cars.

Gorgeous House!

That 48 Lincoln is rare, I've never seen one here, I don't much care for the white paint and blacked out windows, I suppose it must earn a living as a wedding car.

Thanks for another great vid, I was there again and that show never fails to impress.

Hello Sean! Thanks very much for another fine video. I wonder if my maternal grandfather was there in spirit. He was something of a car and motorbike enthusiast and he owned a Jowett Javelin and a Triumph Gloria. He also married a lady from Suffolk!

Very enjoyable video, thank you. Always nice to see events such as this. I've been lucky to have attended a few recently Baston Car show held at Grimsthorpe Castle where I met a university friend who'd been invited to display his Porsche and also accidentally found myself at the Rolls Royce and Bentley event at Burghley (although we'd only gone for a walk and didnt know it was on!)

thank you Sean a very enjoyable video again, my Dad used to drive a Humber, the Super Sniipe if I remember correctly, great name

I was there too. It is the Classic Car event where you see the more rarer and unusual. Great Video, Well done. You have far more knowledge than me. Keep up the good work.

Another great show Sean, very nice hood job on the Vitesse. Lot of very nice classic, some Cars of the show: Humber Sceptre, Sunbeam Rapier, Tigers and Alpines and the Triumph Gloria.. Happy motoring and hope to meet up soon. Bob

To quote Colin Chapman, when he was asked what the plural of Lotus was, "don't be so bloody stupid, it's Lotuses!" 😀

Thank You for sharing this show, I do miss going to shows in the UK, but I can live vicariously through your videos!

I like the TR2 front, because the shape was modeled on the air intakes of the contemporary deHaviland Comet 106 airliner.

In Sweden, they call those Volvos, "Tanks".

Those Avantis are absolutely fabulous, so well built!
