wow, the Morris Oxford in traveller form is a rare survivor - plenty of saloons but estates not so much. Nice T1 - the only other possibility - do you remember in the 70's if someone imported a car they got given a brand new registration plate for the year of import - in this case 1975 - rather than a plate which related to the year of the vehicle. I can't remember when that system stopped. This was a really interesting video with some great spots.
Thanks Mike pleased you enjoyed it. I was out for a walk and thought if its of interest to me it may interest others so I'll share them. I was really surprised and pleased to see the Oxford parked on the street. It looked fairly sound and wouldn't take much to bring it up to a good standard. The number plate on its own would have quite a decent value. The T1 thanks for mentioning about imports being given plates relevant to the year of import not original registration. I'm pleased you mentioned this as I may not have been aware , however i do remember it well and it was something i did consider.☝ I'm not sure when that ended i suspect in the 80's? Possibly pre 83 Particularly before the new format of reg plates possible from A plates? In 1971 my Dad bought a 1964 Morris 1000 that came in from Jersey and it was registered on a J plate. He got fed up of been stopped by the Police because the car didn't look new as it had faded paint. It was a point i considered but DVLA seemed to imply it was a recent import which led me to the conclusion i did. 👍
So part three now, hahaha ... As I am just so impressed this morning by all the cars you just got to see around there. The Peugeot 205 CTI Cabriolet is also already a rarity. So tomorrow I'll finally also going again to a classic car meeting - if my back is staying as good as it is again (finally!) and weather will be nice ... anyway, I already got an e-mail from one buddy and he told me he will come to Neuenbürg with his Peugeot 205 Green. So probably for the next series of classic car shows there will be also a 205. But back to this example, I am totally loving these rims! I can remember in my childhood and youth there was during winter time always a VW Passat with a Canadian license plate in the neighbourhood. Always wondering how much it costs to bring your car over there just for a vacation. Beautiful 1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback. Followed by a 1968 Ford Mustang (the difference is the grill (it has no horizontal chrome bar anymore) and the sidemarker integrated in the front bumper plus the side marker on the rear end. Also the fake airvents beside of the passenger doors were replaced with this more simple chrome bar). Porsche 911 targa - always nice. These old 964 are also already 30 to 35 years old. The Ford Mustang VI is also interesting because you can tell if it was originally sold in Europe or imported. So the white tail lights and these higher mirrors are Euro spec. The Shelby on the other hand was a grey import to Europe (it was never officially sold in Europe and you can see the red tail lights and the more flat side mirrors). Amazing machines! I like the design. But once I had the chance to sit in one and it was definately not feeling comfortable for my big fat back, haha.
Good to hear you are feeling a bit better just a shame its stopped you doing what you wanted. Hope you enjoy your weekend and the show. The convertibles don’t seem to command the prices or seem to be as desirable as the normal gti but I think are just as special. The same applies for the Escort xr3i cabriolets if anything they offer better value that the normal xr3 still got the looks and ability to put the roof down. It makes them more of a bargain. Interesting info about the Mustangs. Both modern Mustang had travelled down from Scotland to attend a big Ford spon-sored birthday celebration of the Mustang I think at the British Motor museum in Warwickshire. A big free event for them with I think over 500 Mustangs in attend-ance.I think they were all given a big goodie bag of items on arrival as well as a free ticket to the venue..There was a big group of them that had travelled down but they were split up at different hotels close by but were supposed to be at the same one. The owner of the grabber blue one came from Oban on the west cost of Scotland the gateway to the Isles. I commented to him I bet everyone in the town must know him as they wont be many Mustangs there.
Cheers Neil👍I saw them and thought why not share them. The only thing that could have improved the Targa was the colour. Spectacular in Orange or Bright green?
Really some nice car spottings Glyn! The MG ZS is looking really sporty with its spoiler wing. I bet the Morris Oxford Estate is a rare find. It's looking like this one is still used as a daily and probably for a handworker when looking to the stuff in the boot. Lovely VW T1 microbus. It's looking like the T1c, so the c stands for the third series of the 1st generation. Looking at the flat indicator glasses at the front and the wide door for the boot then it's one built from 08/1963 until some time 07/1967 before VW did switch to the second generation (T2/T2a). So when the UK license plate is always showing the year code of production but not from importing then I'd also say it is one of the late ones from Brasil. It's really a beauty and loving all of its windows. The G wagons are really expensive machines - this one is from the latest series since 2018 when Mercedes did widen the body to have smaller wheel arches again. Then they also got these more modern appearing tail lights. It is really crazy what Mercedes did to the G-class since the 80s. The overall design changed evolutionary but they put lot of modern stuff into it. Powerful engines, etc ... what makes them so insanely expensive. And still when closing and opening the door it feels like you've to throw the doors like in the good old days, haha. The Audi 100 C1 is so lovely. The bumper is definately showing it was an early one from approx. 1968 to 1973 (in 1974 they did change the bumpers which became straight and you just had a black plastic part on the edges to go around - these quite often gone missing on the VW/Audi (VAG) cars from that era - I can remember about that from my childhood). Wow the price tag on the VW T1 Samba - must be from 1951 to 1958. In 1959 they got the oval tail lights like it was used also for the T2a. The front indicator glasses are different to the other T1, so I'm pretty sure this one here is a T1a. Lovely Mercedes SL Roadster (R107) with hardtop - I can remember in the late 90s I've almost bought myself one. It was for sale at a Mercedes dealership for 7,500 DM only. When looking at the price tags from nowadays I better bought it. But I bet when driving it as a daily for 3 decades then it also would have been for a multiple value of that. The R107 was also built for such a long time - from 1971 to 1989. These "manhole cover" wheels were used since 1985 but you can also put them on the older ones. Nice to see the old vintage car and the two Range Rovers
Thanks Sven. As I said I like the big spoiler on the MG ZS. On the second generation they didn’t all get that. They had a body kit and wing vents but some had a small lip spoiler but you could option the big spoiler. I liked the full fat version and unlike the other 75,45,25 facelift cars the ZS facelift was the only one in my opinion that looked better than mk1 versions in their styling. I was surprised to see the Oxford estate and as you point out looks to be in use. It was on the street and dvla records show it to be taxed for the road albeit exempt duty as its more than 40 years old. I’m no expert on the VW and wouldn’t pretend to be and so I am grateful for the information you give on T1C and telling me it’s a t1 3rd generation with pointers such as flat indicators that’s all good info which helps to give me a better understanding so thank you. Its all good to know. The G wagon I realised was fairly new LED lights etc but thought it was worthy of showing as we don’t see that many of them. That combined with the interesting number plate. The Audi 100 was registered in September 1970. I remember been given a ride in one with a work colleague back in 1980 on the way home from a Christmas party. The T1 samba (23 window) was expensive but I know they have gone for a lot .lot more and are the ones people want . I like the old SL R107 and those wheels. The vintage Bentley was a 1949 mk6 sports special.
Thanks , pleased you found it entertaining. I take it your speaking from experience with the A2? Owned one? I know there was a lot more to the A2 in terms of space and MPG etc and innovative technology.
@@Alpaholic I was surprised to see this one in the hotel car park and it was all there. The 205 were and still are very well respected cars /hot hatches. I was pleased to see it. Equally the Subaru are well respected and useful cars. I remember been impressed with the Subaru range back in 1978 after visiting the Motor Show at the NEC. I think they deserve more credit and there venture into motorsport brought them more to everyone's attention. My sister had a couple of Legacy's but there pick up's were good useful farm vehicles as well.

This video is inspired, made my night. What a cracking selection just out and about. (A2 has a highly regarded coffee holder!)
Pug 205. ❤ I confess, I love Forresters, too.
Thanks , pleased you found it entertaining. I take it your speaking from experience with the A2? Owned one? I know there was a lot more to the A2 in terms of space and MPG etc and innovative technology.
