- Marbury Merry Days is a traditional country fair/fete with different displays taking place over two days in May. One of the attractions is a display of classic cars, so we decided to head down in the 1950 Ford V8 Pilot and take a look to see what would turn up for the Marbury Merry Days 2024 on a particularly bright and sunny Cheshire day.
The video begins with the old Ford receiving a little TLC and prep, not least sprucing up the swathes of bakelite in its interior and also treating the bodywork to a quick wash and brush up. This is followed by our day in Marbury, displaying the V8 Pilot and also looking around the other displays, not least a very impressive American civil war re-enactment group. The visit of a BBMF Spitfire was also much appreciated by everyone.
Old cars featured include a Bond Equipe, two Mk1 Cortinas, AC Ace, vintage Star tourer, 1950s Bentley, Morris Marina, Hillman Avenger Tiger, a rally-prepared Lancia Fulvia, Gilbern estate and others. All in all, a very civilised and easy-going day out.

Excellent event very well organised 😊😊😮
And looks well supported
Some great transport present
Thank you for video 😊 and organisers for show😊😊😊
The more I see your Ford Pilot the more I want one. Keep up with your Videos
I'll try! thanks for watching
Looked like it was a great day out for the family in the great British countryside 👍
It was all very pleasant agreed
Thanks, another great video, although I'm not getting the connection with the American Civil War. You'd have to be a hell of a shot to hit Gettysburg from Marbury.
I did ponder this myself but just decided it was an interesting attraction and left it at that :)
The wax dates to 1952.So do I !!! CHEERS from Here!
Clearly a good year then eh!?
A super video that perfectly captured the atmosphere of a classic English fete. Some fine cars too. A distinct air of Dad's Army about the Civil War re-enactment, or should I say Pop's Army. The Pilot was looking splendid and I have to admit that after initial doubts I am gradually warming to the whitewalls. Thanks for sharing your 'day out'!
Thanks, yes the idea with this one was to not just be about the cars, but also the other stuff going on
Another very interesting vid, My first car was a Morris Marina 1.8 sdl the same as the Blue one that was for sale, It was in a very fetching colour of Tundra Green which just happens to be the colour of the lovely ‘P’ reg Mini that you saw parking up. I very much doubt that VUR 660M is still on the road but all in all a lot of memories jogged for me so thank you. Great to see an Avenger Tiger as well. Great stuff 👍
Fête accompli. 😁👍
I enjoyed this video. A bit less car intense than usual and none the worse for it.
Yes definitely smaller scale, and as a result a lot more laid back in a way
I love your car, The color is perfect and the sound is awesome.
👍👍👍👍👍
Hi rick,another great vid.so much to see,enjoyed the re enactment.lovely cars,but my eyes are always drawn to your v8pilot.big thanks to harley.well done.❤
Thanks 👍 Yes we exchange clips if one of us does a better job than the other :)
That looks like a great show and the Ford Pilot V8 looks really fabulous. Well done you. All the best Bob
Many thanks!
Good morning from New Zealand.
As an ExPat from near Coventry, I really enjoy watching your video's, as I get to see
cars of my youth and the thing I miss the most the good old English country side.
My parents lived a good life and enjoyed their cars, and seeing the Lancia Fulvia
and the Capri brough a bit of a tear as my father had a Ford Capri 2Ltr Broadspeed
Turbo.
I've been trying to find the rego of a car my father had to see what happened to it!
It was a Barker bodied Daimler convertable which had been converted into a hard top!
The instructions had been, "so a gentleman wearing a top hat could sit in the back seat".
It had a fluid flywheel and rod brakes and was serviced at Daimler when they were still
in Coventry. My father had (I cannot remember seeing it) a 1930's Invictor, which I was
told scared the crap out of his mother.
I enjoy your calm voice while you present your videos, great job and thanks.
Hi Richard (great name), thanks for watching and I'm glad the videos are of interest etc. The Invicta sounds fun.
A very enjoyable day out I think. The Ford Pilot was looking splendid and you did a good job on the dashboard.. She will need another clean once you get home as I saw mud on the tyres after the parade but never mind. The 1950's Bentley was lovely as was the AC Ace, a very nice car. Plenty of Minis representing the Mark too. I also enjoyed the fly past and the radio controlled planes were very nice. All in all a nice relaxing day Rick thank you and thank you to Harley for stepping in with the camera work. 👍👍
Thanks Stephen, yes a bit different to the norm not being a car show, just an event that had a car element to it
Since me Hornbee be busted ,I`ve lost me Mojo.
Hi Richard . As much as l enjoy the big shows I do enjoy the smaller ones . You can spend longer looking at the car and talking to the owners . Oh! And the pilot is looking very pucker ! Thanks Richard
Thanks John, yes a small show can be welcome after going to a few of the larger events
I'm glad you chose this meet. So many unique cars there. The Pilot was looking great, but that AC Ace was spectacular! I have to say that I was confused when I saw US Civil War enactments at a UK event though. As always, great coverage and quality, thanks.
Thanks for watching these vids Tom!
I love events such as these, I have just checked the Marbury Merry Days website and although quite a distance from me it is worth keeping an eye on for next year There is a lot of work involved getting these events ready which isn't always appreciated and they should be supported. .The Pilot and I share the same birth year and are the same age, amazing actually that we both have survived.😊 (No comments please).
Marbury is in a very nice area of the county, this was my first visit to the Merry Days, I'm sure we'll be back again.
Gosh, even a fleeting glimpse of the mysterious Mrs OCC! Looks like a terrific local village fayre. Plenty going on. The pilot looks better every time we see it, those subtle little improvements and touch ups. Was that a Hurricane (or replica) flying over?
It was a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire, there should have been a pair of them but the other succumbed to gremlins in the works apparently.
Thank you Richard, I do like the "smaller" type of shows, I have one or two to attend on the Wirral this year, hoping to have the Herald all checked over by then and fit for a longish journey.
Hope to see it somewhere or other!
Hi 👋 What a nice day out for you guys. I like your Ford Pilot , she came up good after the wash. When I think of bakerlite I think of my mums cream coloured bakerlite radio she had in the kitchen of the family home. They were popular in the 1950s. Good turn out of cars. I like the 1966 Bond , we never sold them here in New Zealand. Is that a old church in the background ?. I like old architecture and buildings. I'm following a couple of British guys and there channel where they travel to different parts of Britain and record stately homes. Ming blowing places that they record.
I'm gasping while viewing their channel. Nothing like some bagpipes being played. We have a Scottish Bagpipe groups competition each year in our square in Palmerston North where I live. Very good video Richard. From Carl.
😢
Great video loved the V8 outing. 👏🏻👍🏼
Thoroughly enjoyable. There's nothing quite like a village fete and at times it was like watching an episode from a Midsomer Murders mystery.
I hadn't thought of it like that, but I see where you're coming from :-)
Lovely show,lots of variety of events. I thought the Bentley Type R was a beauty but the star of the show for me was your Pilot!
Glad you liked it!
another thing with the wax is it gives the correct period shine to a surface
I am amazed at the interest in the American Civil War in the UK.
See you got riid of the wing mirrors, well done 😢😢.
Yes they a) looked very out of place and b) made accessing the side of the engine a bit of a struggle!
Any idea when the A40 restoration will continue?
One day, one day ... maybe this summer when the youthful assistant doesn't have much to do ;)
Mind blowing not ming blowing is what I meant.
We're those Civil War reenactment?
Alphard not at all rare. Place in Wigan imports dozens of them and my mate’s business converts them to lpg making their 3lt engines cheap to run. Similar to the Toyota Elgrand which they also import.
It's the first I've seen or noticed, thanks for watching
