Nice to see that as a Longbridge lad, i spent a lot of time at the doss (the arcade just up the road) and later the hare and hounds next door, I moved to Worcester a while ago but will look out for the next one, can come along in my mini.
Glad you enjoyed it @italsounds001 thanks for watching! 👍
A majestic car on a majestic journey , A great watch again , filmed with pride by another wonderful member ... Thank you
Our pleasure!
What a beautiful car on a perfect day, thank you
It really is! Thanks for watching @TheStobb50 👍
Another great tour, good to have the video as a reminder
Thanks @nickarthur7237 - always love seeing your Jensen on tour!👍
Great video, I really enjoyed the tour
Hi @nickarthur7237 - thanks for watching!
Thanks for these monthly videos Paul - always enjoyable to watch. Such a beautiful scenic area to hold this event.
My pleasure! Glad you are enjoying them, @robertbothwell2478 👍
The MK1 Cortina has a Mazda rotary. Great video Paul thanks. Can vintage motorcycle join in on the day?
Hi @more.power. - thanks for watching! I am not an organiser of the show but believe yes, motorcycles are allowed - there were some there in fact, but that's the first time I've seen any, so perhaps there will be more in future as more people find out about the event 👍
Another great turnout , the mk1 cortina has a Mazda Rotoy in it Unfortunately lol
Hi @sweede351 - thanks for watching and .... hmmm! Wonder why someone did that - because they could, probably 🤔
The owner of the viva is a 16 year old who has been saving for 5 years to buy his own classic car!!! His mum still has to travel with him as he is still on his learners licence. He drives up from waipukurau (50mins away)
Love that and good on him! I'd love to speak to him about his interest if he's there next month; I had an HB Viva as a teen myself.
Jack is also into british sporting trials and was thinking about bringing that car up on a trailer next month but I'm sure he would be happy to have a chat about his viva.
I'll keep a look out for Jack next time, thanks! 😎
@@enthusiastsofbritishmotors Snap. Mine was a 1969 Monaco Blue Viva GT with the 2.0 litre slant 4 engine. Very rare car these days. Wish I still had it now.
wow - the Viva GT wasn't common even in its day. Could have given the Escorts a run for their money with more backing and PR, but in that era Ford UK was better than the rest at that.
The last 2 shows were on the first Sunday of the month - has it been changed for next month?
Apologies - I misspoke, you're right - its the first Sunday of the month. Sorry about that.
The Mk4 Zephyr has Australian Ford Falcon straight 6 engine
Thanks! I've no idea about Australian stuff being an expat Brit 🇬🇧
Another great film chaps. You’re getting very good at this. Even the music was good.😁😁
Ahem - the music is ALWAYS good! 😜 Glad you enjoyed the video @mikepeake115😎
Ahh the good old colliery ... I myself was a proud miner , Worked underground for 20 years making New roadways and also working the coalface , all at 2000 ft down ... Best days of my life .... I loved my job at the Pit... Another great video ... thanks
Thanks @barrydavies998 - good to hear from you!
Thank you these stories should never be forgotten.
Hi @more.power. pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Thank you for your comment, it was important to me to cover the history of my mining family
I loved your comments about the hardship of miners in our grandfathers' days - mine worked in Abertillery. As a student, we went down a deep mine in Northampton and overalls were mandatory as they were trepanning a 24 inch seam so we had to slide along on our backs and came to appreciate the darkness, the damp, the noise of the machine and the grumbling of the rock which fell down as the coalface progressed. Modern youth would not survive! We were spoilt as visitors and had a hot shower when out of wet, dirty overalls. As you can see in the video, the miners would finish their shift and go to the pub - then home for a bath in a tin tub in the kitchen! Tough times indeed. My grandparents house suffered major damage due to subsidence and they had to move, I believe with no compensation.
Tough times indeed! Thanks for watching @davidselway-hoskins7475 👍
David, my grandfathers worked both Penallta and Abertillery, with my Great grandfather in the Rhymney mine rescue team, hard working brave men
I forget, what's the basis of Midge? I loved this tour video, my roots are in Abertillery and I have relatives in Brecon.
Gus's car Henry is a kit car - a Midge by JC. Here's the link to wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JC_Midge
What a great video, Dean really came up trumps with his videography and as usual Paul has done a fantastic job of putting it all together. Well done all.
Hi @GusBrooks ! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your contribution 😎
Great car… Jaguar 420 manual overdrive with wire wheels… crazy to hide it away for so long !
Hi @johnmoruzzi7236 - thanks for watching!
There are some beautiful cars there
Absolutely right - quite the turnout for a small town. Sunshine always helps of course 😎. Thanks for watching!
Love that Lotus Carlton, bet that would be a blast to drive 😃
Oh yes! and hi @yourrandompao - thanks for watching!
Gorgeous as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great tour around a beautiful part of Norfolk, You all seemed to have a fund day. Nice, All the best Bob (from Essex)
Yes it was! Thanks for watching, @bobspeller2225 👍
And that's just the Brit models...an amazing experience for anyone young or not, just North of Wellington. Go there!!
Hi @wadeconnell1493 - thanks for watching!
Emily has and shes a young member of the Morris minor owners club .in this month minor matters magazine you will see a photo of her
'Emily has'?? Sorry, don't understand 🤔
Another great video with some really nice cars.
Thanks again! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I was at that very park in Napier today - I’ll have to check out when the next meet is and get there 😊
First Sunday of the month
Is this event held monthly? If it is can you advise when and where, we might need an excuse to come to Napier for a weekend.
Yes - first Sunday of every month at Perfume Point in Ahuriri, Napier approx 9am-11am
Sorry i meant to say Simca Estate.
Hi @user-ix4wn1th5m - thanks for watching! Yes those Simcas were quite something
Hi 👋 Its very rare to see an Australian Holden Special now such as the 1960s white one that pulled into the show. I liked the Estate. They weren't released here on our car market. Thanks from Carl in Palmerston North.
Thanks Carl - we appreciate the interest 👍As an Englishman I know next to nothing about Holdens but did notice the one you mentioned.
Almost in tears every time I see your wonderful vids. I so wish I could go back. Thems were the days! Always great narration too. You should have a million subscribers ❤️👌🏽
Thank you very much! It's very difficult gaining subscribers but we can only do our best 😎
Another quality video ... Thanks to all who took part
Thanks again @barrydavies998 - pleased you enjoyed it!
The Riley Pathfinder is Ace
Hi @bluesteel6612 - thanks for watching! Yes that Pathfinder was stunning - glad you enjoyed it 👍
I thought that Scimitars were mostly V6s.
Whoops - you're correct, of course. Thanks @robertlonsdale5326 👍
They were all V6s, except the earlier coupe (at the back of the stand) which had a straight 6
Yep thanks - we got that wrong! 😳
What a great video and walk around of this years Restoration Show. Thank you 🙂
Thank you too!

Gus, im still waiting for an update on the 47 Talbot engine. What happened?
Gus does not maintain this YT page so you're probably waiting in vain
Another nicely documented account of an Enthusiasts weekend away. This is a really picturesque part of our country, so picturesque in fact it still looks lovely in the rain. As our Rover had had a bit of a hissy fit on the way down it was nice for Lorraine and myself to be welcomed as passengers in several other cars throughout the tour. We had a great time whilst Big Rov rested in the carpark. Oh, I love the little computerised animation at the end of this video too.
Thanks Phil and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. I wondered if anyone would notice the animation at the end -- you win a (virtual) fish for being the first to mention it! 😜 Wishing Big Rov an early and inexpensive recovery 😎
Paul, What are you doing leaving the warmth of New Zealand to come to the uk in February? Enjoyable tour although the grand designs house was a bit of a sad tale. Cost them a lot more than money and gained nothing from it.
I wasnt there in fact but would like to have been! I watched the Grand Designs episode in full and have to say the warning signs of impending disaster were there all along but were ignored, but sad as you say.
Enjoyed that! Lovely trip and tge Hoops is a great touring base
Glad you enjoyed it - would be even better in Summer! Ask Gar to film an in depth look at your MG sometime - a very interesting car 😎
Dream mini. I want one!!!
😎
Mk III cortina estate passed on the left??
If you mean the white one, thats a MK2 Granada estate 😎
Great to see the cars and hear your voice again. Gramps had the Velox, in white, as did my uncle. Dad had the Victor (super I think), with the bench up front. No problem to fit 6 people in them days. Cousin still has his 1600 ghia cortina mk II, acquired brand new when he got his licence I believe. All beauties! Someone please invent a time machine and take me back 😢
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video thanks Paul and what an eclectic mix of vehicles! Hawkes Bay is very well served with classics. Best regards, Geoff (Coromandel - 1972 MGB GT)
Many thanks Geoff, much appreciated! Yes it's amazing how many classics come out of those sheds around here on a sunny day 😎 Very pleased you enjoyed the video.
Cheers Paul for another quality video... Thanks so much
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
A new venue. and another great show. Enjoying the sunshine and blue sky. It always amazes me how far some cars from the UK get to. I'm not surprised to see the Austins etc but it the ones you don't expect to get that far such as the Bond bug, i understand you have one in the NZ motor museum. Then this TVR. The 80's styling marvellous. The Xk8 looks nice and the prefect colour. They are such good value for money over here at present. Some interesting number plates.
Thanks 👍As mentioned in the commentary, this show is annual unlike the Napier shows which are monthly. I'd been to this show once before several years ago, but it has been cancelled several times since then due first to Covid and then a run of poor weather so it was great to get back there at last with my camera 😎
We visited Napier in January 2023 ,loved all the classic cars we saw around the town. I have a lifelong love of them due to my late father . When we left quite a few were lined up along the quayside along with a band playing, nice touch and a fitting goodbye to a very friendly place.
Thanks for sharing! The old cars certainly play an important part in our memories and our lives. Those at the port would have been volunteers from the Vintage Car Club local branch.
Looks amazing. I have relatives in NZ. Never been. Maybe I could visit them someday, but with a secret agenda to see this car show! So many memories from childhood in these lovely pictures.
Go for it! Meanwhile I'll keep filming as long as different cars keep showing up every month! Good to hear you enjoyed the video 😎👍
Love zephyr 6 Earliest memory of Love of cars .That Galaxy Gorgeous,they all are .👌👌👍👍
Yes they are!

Well done Paul, another great video from Napier.
Many thanks Anthony - glad you enjoyed it!
I love Stags, i was thinking of buying a Stag in 2022 i had thought about it many times before and thought why not and i ended up buying an XJS. That's how it goes sometimes. The Datsun 260c are a rare sight these days. They were quite something back in 1976. The Daimler looked lovely.
Me too re Stags, thanks - there were some cracking cars there this month. I'm amazed I can go every month and keep seeing cars I've not seen there before. Long may it continue!
