- LOADS of classic cars! Join me as I walk the queue at the Festival of 1000 Classic Cars, which includes some amazing machines : Saab 96 Two-stroke, Triumph Vitesse, TRs, Stags, Standard 10, Ford Granada Mk1 Coupe, Gilbern GT, Vauxhall Viva HA van and HB GT, Ford Zodiac Mk3 (saloon and estate), Vauxhall Cresta Convertible, Ford Capri 1.6LS and 2.8i Police car, Bond Equipe GT4S, Citroen Xsara Picasso (Autoshambles, naturally) a Portuguese-registered Nissan Urvan, a Daewoo Matiz and much, much more!
In fact, I shot rather too much footage and amazingly, this video is the trimmed version. Apologies if your car did not make the report.
HubNut goodies can be found at our store, which you can reach by heading to hubnut.org - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
"something very special at this show" Then proceeds to walk straight past the Ferrari and focuses in on the orange Matiz. This is why we love Hubnut.
"And the twain shalt never meet..."
I was going to post exactly the same, it was just so Hubnut.
What's a Ferrari?
My thoughts exactly!!
@@phillipjones3439 I believe it's some sort of transportation device for people with very small penises, zero imagination, and gigantic egos.
See's a Nissan Juke says ignore that !, well said Mr HubNut.
"Awwwwwwww two stroke Saab. Listen to that!" YES!!!!!
Lucky you, you have such interesting motorcars in THE UK! American imports, and beautiful British classics! Nothing beats a classic!
What a brilliant HubNut style walk around and commentary on some fantastic cars. Especially appreciated the exhaust sounds - only the smell missing for the complete sensory experience (particularly the 2-stroke Saab). Forty minutes of pure goodness.
A fantastic collection of cars. Thanks for the tour Ian - so nice to see so many cars that would otherwise have succumbed to the dreadful scrappage scheme of days gone by... 👍
Uggh the scrappage scheme if only it was not in existence. So many beatful classic would be alive and modern-day future classic.
One of many little details of car ownership in the UK that escapes me is the apparent value of "original dealer plates." We don't have the same here in the U.S. (plates are issued by the states) but dealers certainly try to add their emblems. This is usually done on the rear edge of the trunk (boot) lid or similar spot on a hatch or tailgate and for decades now it's been done with adhesive lettering that's easy to heat-gun off (for those of us who object to driving around with dealer adverts on the car). But there was a time (Seventies and earlier) when these dealer promos were cast metal and *riveted* to the car! If you were ordering a car from the factory instead of buying from inventory on the dealer's lot, you could take steps to "intercept" the car in the prep phase before they could do this.
What a fantastic event this is, so nice to see a real variety of cars, cars that were so much apart of my childhood. So many of these were scrapped in that ill conceived scrappage scheme mentioned by Peter Hedley below, pure vandalism!
Scrappage scheme is back in again. I couldnt imagine scrapping my 2002 Mini....
An owner who scrapped a half-decent classic for a government handout was no aficionado and was probably letting it rot away anyway. To think, the cars I treasured that just disintegrated under me, as Ian's rust-bucket Rover 820 did. Scrappage started with manufacturers, who delayed factory ant-corrosion treatments for decades in favour of built-in obsolescence. _Où sont les BX GTi d'antan ?_
@@kh23797 I saw an old 1955 Riley go the same way, I actually saw it with my own eyes and begged to get it released but "more than my job's worth mate".
Ian I wanted to thank you for adding to my automotive lexicon with "triangle of doom", "poverty model" and now "auto shamble".
Lovely selection of cars. Love the 2 stroke SAAB!! 1960-65. Model 96
Probably a 60~63 as they had the clear turn signals, at least in the US. The 1965 was the first year of the longer nose with the 850cc with the coolant water pump migrating from the back of the generator to the front of the cylinder head. Better cooling the long nose version, and bumped the 36 HP to 40.
What a terrific gathering, many thanks for your excellent video.
Must complement you on your incredible knowledge of older cars, didn't know that the Scimitar could be had with a straight six, learn something new every day!
Well done HubNut!
What a great show, and excellent coverage Mr Hubnut. (Spoke to the gentleman with that beautiful Singer Vogue Estate at the Apedale Classic car show.) Thanks again.
What a great show it was, some amazing vehicles, a pleasure to meet you Ian and thanks for your time, you even captured me and my son right at the very end when you panned round to finish, we were looking at the Mk1 Bx naturally 😎👍🏼
Mr UbNut your knowledge of classic cars is second to none , respect .👏👏👏👏👏👏
The Lincoln Mark VIII was like driving a rocket. My friend had the first one in Los Angeles.. it was dark green with gold BBS wheels and gold plated trim. The American police car was a General Motors Pontiac. Thank you for posting
24:19 Wow Vauxhall FE Victor estate, our neighbour across my street had one in burgundy way back when I was a kid on a L plate. So many memories of seeing it parked up in his driveway at an angle or seeing him drive up the hill towards us when we were playing in our front garden! 😃 #TheGoldenYears
That Police Capri was just as I remember them on the streets of Manchester in the late 80s, wheels and all.
It was supposed to be a Festival of 2000 Classics but the other 50% broke down en route. 😄
They will be there as soon as the tow trucks turn up. 😄.
The American Chevrolet estate was a Chevy Caprice. I used to see these a lot back in the 1980s and into the 90s.
Blimey! Love the cars but your amazingly well-informed commentary is even better, great vid Ian.
Thanks Ian, some wonderful cars. Brought back some great memories for me.
Wonderful range of vehicles, most of which we don't see in the US, accompanied by 40 almost-continuous minutes of your encyclopedic identification of all of them! Amazing! I kept having to pause and Google many of the cars to learn more about them. What a great show.
Nice collection of cars, the Renault 11 brings back memories, I had a bronze coloured 1. 6 diesel. No turbo, had fun times with it.
A Nissan Juke passes by...
Hubnut:" ignore that.." 😂😂😂
Love the video. A trip down memory lane. Excellent commentary - laid back but amazingly informative - love it 😊 . Thank you for naming some of the older more obscure models - much appreciated.
When I get my 84 Sierra xr4i and 89 Sierra 2.9 estate sorted and ready I’ll have to take them to some car shows😁
Its good to see some cars from the 1990's and early 2000's now being accepted at classic car shows rather than being told to park in the general car park.
Ben Tullett i believe anything pre 04 reg is accepted here
Great bunch of cars. Very cool. Nice to see those estate versions that were unusual when new. Glad they are being looked after now.
This is wonderful. I've never seen a Cresta convertible before and I've only ever seen the later model Crestas in the flesh, those early ones are beautiful.
thank you Ian for a really pleasant walk around. some fabulous looking classics. looks like the weather was a delight too.
That was quite a walk around! Something for everyone there!👍
You’ve saved me a fortune on show tickets this year!😂
Thanks for the video!
Safe to say that The Nut O' Hub has severely broadened my horizon regarding what a cool car is. Can't help but be smitten by the calm enthusiasm. Fun times as some nut says.
Many thanks for sharing and very cool to see the channel grow..
9:15
Yes 1.6 capris always seem a bit deperate to me.
The mk1 s maybe ok but as always the later models put on weight and 1.6 seems a bit lost there.
I suppose you could have had a 1.3 or had those been phased out by then?
I knew a guy had a 1.3 in in fairness it went ok.
Your spot on there even the 2ltr was a bit "so what" maybe biased as I had a Mk1 3000E manual :D
Your knowledge is astounding! I’m so impressed! x
Another great video of a great show - several cars you showed I have only seen once or twice in my life, plus of course your sharing of knowledge teaches me about some I never knew about. Looking forward to your AX video - I had a 1.1 and it was great fun, could out accelerate a new Astra 1.6 in 2011 when I had mine, but drove so smooth.
BTW, 4:10 is an MEV Rocket
Had the pleasure of owning some of these cars in the past and did not imagine how their cult/classic status would grow in years to come along with their values.
Would have kept some if finances and space permitted, wishful thinking hey.
Todays average cars/mass produced stuff unfortunately mostly are without charm and character and simply just transport.
Thanks Ian great video as always.
Hi Ian,what a awesome video,the event looked huge with the cars that turned up,that white Astra GTE was nice.
One of the best things I can do ( having become lame of late ) is to walk around a car show with you. Thanks Ian Pete 🇬🇧
Another great video Ian, absolutely lovely cars on display.
What a treat to see all these fine classics! Thanks! Glad you are saving a Citycar. They didn't stay around very long and will soon be a classic too, as the end of Rover.
I just love how Hubnut can identify every classic car ever made from about 50 yards away! Nice walk around very comprehensive, even the Fords, some motorbikes & ice cream vans got a mention! 😉
my 19-year-old Polo 6n2 goes in for Tüv (MOT Germany) tomorrow fingers crossed everybody
I have a 17 year old car and always keep my fingers crossed on tbe day of the MOT. Hope everything goes well
Good Luck I hope you pass. Look after old VW's. Repair anything that Fails.
Keep a Good car regardless of cost. ( Unless that cost is Very Silly Expensive ) .
If you scrap that & buy another, You may have the same issues & problems next year. I run a 24 yr old BMW e34 .
My work van is over 330,000 miles & i still Like it. Looking forward to 400,000 .
It's Never DEAD until it is Crashed or Stolen. anything else can be fixed.
With a NEW car You Must work very hard in your job everyday to buy it.
with an Old car you must work on the car every week to keep it looking good & driving good to pass MOT TuV.
Spray oil to prevent rust, Clean out Water Drain channels. Take it for a Service at your local Garage . Replace oils & Filters often ( as the Book says )
Ask your Garage to Do A PRE TuV Check a few weeks Before it is Due.
So you can Replace any Cheap Parts like Old or Split rubber pipes & Rusty Connections & Other small Simple items. ALL the OBVIOUS Items .
Make sure all Bulbs / Lights & Wipers work, & replace any Tyres .
MOST of an MOT is very obvious items any driver should be able to see is Wrong.
I don't know about TuV test etc ?? I am in England.
Bulb out = Fail,
Bald tyre = Fail.
Suspension & Steering must be in Full Working order. No worn Rubbers etc. No Knocks Bangs or other obvious faults.
If it's a HEAP of JUNK = PANIC. If not it will pass with a small amount of work.
Best wishes From England.
@@A1DJPaul yaaaaaaa she passed!!!!!!! 2 more years :)
@@debbiepeter112 she passed !!! yeeeeeeeeaaaaa
Really enjoyed that commentary and the day out, even if the Jag did spit it's dummy out!
Another great video, love the focus on the average spec cars!
Blimey, looking at some of those cars makes me want to weep - the ones I've owned and ultimately parted with. If only I'd known then....!
I'm thinking the same Glen, hind sight is wonderful, LOL.
tony charlton Not just cars that have been my downfall with old stuff Tony!
Great video again HubNut and glad that the in-laws Granada Coupe (N plate) would meet with your approval.
Great show coverage, loved the Bedford van.
so many absolutely beautiful machines! Sound track very nice too.
Wonderful, Saab 2-stroke - riiiing, ding, ding ,ding, ding. Another great video, Ian!😁
This is the kind of joy I need.
The better noise they make is at 50~60 mph while rolling through hilly countryside with the freewheel working, tire noise on the downhill and that muted hum while engaged and working a slight grade. they don't really ring ding like an aircooled engine.
An enjoyable 40 minutes on a very cold day. Thanks for uploading and keep them coming.
Had a great time while there. My brother, who owns the lovely metallic red Land Cruiser V8 Amazon, considered LPG but decided not to because expense. After all, it did 18 MPG on the way there!
My friend has a Wolseley Six 2200cc and I'm sure he'd love to bring it to the 2020 event. (If I talk to him nicely enough....!) Nice video as usual Ian,keep up the good work.
38.min. Triumph Bonnie 71, best sound on the vid. thanks.
Great video, sir! Lots of classics that I recognized, but also some rare gems. The Triumph Vitesse at 2:56 I haven't seen since my childhood in the 70s;
I had never seen the Welsh Gilbern GT before (10:56) and never even heard of the car brand. Looked it up on Wiki and found out only 280 of the Gilbern GT were made.
There are lots of beautiful cars there!!.
Saw that Maestro police car at the NEC last year, they had a Morris Marina police car too both in very good condition.
Very good video, I like watching all the different classic contrasts of cars 😊
That FE estate is a thing of beauty!
Great video, i was there and had the pleasure of meeting you. Oh and love the bit about my Allegro at the end! Knew you'd find it!
Really good show Ian, we were there but missed you in the crowd and probably because were drooling over the cars. Great video of the event, thank you as always.
Great video, looks like a wonderful day out. No matter I wasn't able to attend, I can rely on Mr HubNut to show me what I missed! Thank you!
Dude knows his cars. Expert
Nice video mate. I was there in my Subaru Impreza RB5, but you didn't come near our stand of assorted classes. One of the best shows on the calendar, especially if the weather is good like Sunday, but some really nice cars there and in beautiful surroundings.
Ah, sorry. So many cars and stands!
Thanks Ian
I like the ice cream vans.......😋 So many cool cars. Motorcycles and two stroke cars, 👏👏👏👏👌👍The Gimbal is working great, I need to get one.
Fuego lights? I approve of this. Also, Traveller, first family car, happy memories of RKM 495G. Just commented on your other Traveller vid by coincidence. My kind of channel this.
Great walk around Ian, some interesting cars there. Loved the Vanguard estate. We've just got our FD Ventora back in the family after 20 years so Gary will probably start taking that to a few shows. 😀😀
Yes, saw that! Great news.
The Vauxhall FD series are some of the most beautiful cars ever made, IMO.
A40 Somerset!!! yes, real road test ? please. Column gear shift!!! sumptuousness. Brilliant. What a gathering.
My cossie at 6:31, great video,thanks for sharing.
Did an Allegro ever look better than that final vignette? Great pics, Ian, thx for all the hoofing around +
what a lovely dayout ,,,,thanks iain
Loved that Vauxhall convertible.
Was doing a bicycle tour yesterday and saw an Allard. Pretty sure it was a replica, can't imagine real ones exist in the wild in the mountains of NC.
that white mk1 astra gte omg, stunning
Thank you another great video 👍
Most excellent Sir, most excellent !
The Nissan Urvan is on Portugal license plate. Delicious all those different cars together.
That sunburst red xr3i was registered in jan 83 which was one of the very first injected xr3's that first came out in jan 83.
Amazing.
Superb , one of the most enjoyable vids I’ve seen for a while, great stuff .
Great upload. Some real classics
great show, just went and bought my first Hubnut stuff.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video mate. Some sweet car's. Some av had some I would have liked to have. Excellent 👍👍😃
Nice view..
Amazing.. You knew almost of those car..👍🏼
You're spot on about the Minor Series II and why they are a little bit hopeless in modern traffic.
The Dolomite Sprint was originally going to be called the Dolomite 135 on account of the 135 bhp that it could potentially make but they could only manage 127 bhp so it was hastily renamed the Dolomite Sprint. Some Dolomite 135 badges had already been made by then.
An extremely popular event from my past experience tpo many to look at.
Glad you can recognise an Alvis very underrated cars!
Brilliant content ( just watched it to the end)
😂That station wagon with the family waving and gently telling you "good morning hubnut" Almost felt movie like.
These videos are so nice to watch .
Enjoyed that, many thanks!!
loving the show! and another hubnut first an amicar! the car and boat in one, some rare beasts there love the maetro police car clearly a panda car used to go off to houses to tell someone there loved one won't be comming home and to cart the bad guys off to jail as the rovers were the ones out fighting the baddies,
The Matiz! Yes! Yes! I know very well why I love your channel. I really do...
1:25
Q what colour best suits a triumph stag.
A any does so long as its a triumph stag.
Amen
The Jensen Healey had problems the fuel lines supplying the carburetor and the Dell'orto carburetor needles allowed petrol to drip into the sump. They came from the factory with a plastic T. It was highly prone to cracking, sending fuel onto the starter, alternator or distributor.
That Victor estate is a thing of beauty
I was really hoping you were going to say you had a video on a diesel AX. I have fond memories of those.
14:28 Having owned 2 Colts of this age, I've never seen one with such badly faded paint (almost Vauxhall Corsa post office van like). Love to see a review of the last generation Colt Ian, they're a rather modern HubNut type vehicle. Huge front wiper action too ;)
G'day. Awesome parade of cars! :)
Last Minors were vans... they finished around 8 months after the Travellers in 1971.
Love these videos man, thanks
