Apologies for all the wind noise and terrible editing! And all the incorrect information... Watch at your own risk of boredom and possible loss of sanity.
The Slightly Shambolic Shuffles are back! This time we are at the 2022 Festival of the Unexceptional at Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire, and it gets rather Shambolic rather quickly. These are the Slightly Shambolic Shuffles after all...
In this first part, we remind the audience that we do not talk about diesels on this channel, get rather enamoured with an awful lot of exceptional, but still unexceptional cars, dodge Porsches which are probably too new for the event and generally ramble on about very little of any importance at all. Nothing untoward, then!
As an independent vehicle consultant, I take potential buyers through the whole car buying process from choosing a make and model to a vehicle handover and road tax. In addition to information on this service, I also have a selection of written and video reviews of cars that I have owned, hired, borrowed or have somehow come into my possession. Please use the Contact Me page on my website to get in touch, visit my Facebook page for latest updates and share this video if you like it! Thank you for watching.

Another quality walkaround MR Lloyd.
One part down, seven to go, sir!
Incredible to think the Audi A4 is two years away from being 30 years old when it was released.
It's really weird, isn't it? However, this one is well within the criteria for being eligible for the show.
The 1.6 Escort Mexico from 1995 to 1996 is already my car of this part of the shuffle, followed by David's 205, then Mark's Mégane Coupe.
Loved the little K11 Micra shape, takes me back to my first car which was a K11 Micra Twister.
A great first part sir.
Sir, if you liked that Escort Mexico, you will very much enjoy Part Three. Mr Parr and Mr Harding were definitely representing the regular viewers yesterday. Thank you again for watching!
Man I wish we had a show like this in the US. What a great idea.
It's been going for a number of years now, actually.
So many of these car designs are still attractive. The Astra and Maestro, for example. The Ford Cortina (Consul) is so elegant, so simple in shape.
Glad you enjoyed the first part, sir, there are plenty more where that came from! Parts Two and Three are also up now as well.
I had a Ford Mondeo 2.0Si mk2 saloon in Panther Black, most 1.8s&2.0s had their exhaust on the passenger side of the car but the 2.0Si was on the driver side.
Thank you, sir! I thought someone would know more about these than I did.
Thankyou for documenting the Festival of the unexceptionable again, it is wonderful event. These late model Talbots did indeed use peugeot gearknobs steering wheels and column stalks. Like many cars now mk1 Seat Ibizas are a rare site.
Thank you for bringing along your car, sir! Looking lovely as well. We will be seeing some more Talbots after this too, sir, don't worry.
A Mk 2 Fiesta 1.1 was like a fail safe go to buy in the 1980s, luckily it was a fine little car.
The Daihatsu Applause replaced the Charmant which was actually rear wheel drive but very plush.
The Talbot Alpine and Solara. I have driven the Solara, a 1982 1.3 and a can report good grip and cornering ability, with much roll, I might add. The gearchange is an acquired taste but it works and the engine is actually a good unit if you are not in a terrible rush and is actually quite economical but yes rattly and noisy . The cabin is roomy and the dash is very nice and was applied to the later Talbot Avengers at Facelift.
The Mk4 Escort Eclipse was a desirable car as was the Bonus 90 poverty job for some reason, even though the Mk5 was already in the showroom.
The P38 Range Rover is a forgotten gem which is a very nice vehicle.
My Uncle had a 1975 Hillman Avenger 1500 Estate and it had a lovely revving engine, with a beautiful American look steering wheel.
Excellent Sir, so much stuff. Senator, A Class, 205, Cayman (actually not really), Corsa B, my word and Rovers, Meastros, and Not an Allegro.
Yes sir, this is only the first part, of course, there were seven others! Never seen a Charmant in real life, I have only ever heard of them. I would like to get hold of a Solara at some stage, although that could be tricky given how rare they are. The Escort Eclipse was delightful, as was that Senator.
This is turning out to be exceptional Joseph!
Thank you!
An exceptionally Unexceptional show, sir?
@@lloydvehicleconsulting Absolutely!
Good Morning Sir, excellent video and excellent cars
No problem at all, sir! Very glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Many more parts to come.
Sir, you appear very knowledgeable on your cars, so varied....excellent Vids..
Thank you very much indeed, John! Really appreciate you subscribing. One part down, seven to go, Part Two is already up, Part Three will be up soon.
Very good Sir. Lovely Senator, I was pulled a police Senator in period, got a rollicking for going a bit, cough, fast in a Carina. The Maxi & Vanden Plas were lovely
Sir, we did like the Senator, as well as the Maxi and the Vanden Plas, and, as you know, we have a lot more to come now as well!
Being a Volvo nut, that 940 Torslanda has to be my favourite. I'd say the colour matching trim above the number plate is from a 960
Yes, I have never seen a 940 Torslanda before, although I have driven two 940 Celebrations. Glad someone knows more about these than me!
Nobody does diesel dodging quite like Mr Lloyd. To coin a well used phrase, nobody does it better.
I don't think anyone else does it at all, sir!
@@lloydvehicleconsulting What! They must be philistines.
@@matthewgodwin3050 , or not as weird as I am.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting nah, you're not weird. Diesels are horrible noisy, rattly and smelly things that have no place in a family car.
@@matthewgodwin3050 , you make some valid points, sir, but the reasons why we can't talk about them are actually different from that.
The Avenger at 24:07 is in incredible condition.
One of four there yesterday, sir.
Some real rare gems, pick of the bunch for me has to be the M5. Ps did the mk1 ibiza have "system porsche" graphics on the side?
The System Porsche lettering for certain appeared on the engine (apart from 900cc Mark I), as you will see in Part Three, but not sure about the body graphics.... Glad you liked the M5.
Oooh a 309, always good to see one but i like mine more xDD
Thank you for watching and your self-censorship, sir!
At 17:36 that's Annie the Alpine from th-cam.com/users/GreyTheFloydianSergal
Definitely worth a watch Joseph.
Thanks Simone! I hope you enjoyed this first part. These Alpines and Solaras are extremely rare now.
Already cars I managed to miss even in this first part.
It was a fantastic event.
Interesting tit bit regarding the Triumph parked next to my Mégane. My friend drove those along with various V8 Rovers in the police force and the triumph was affectionately nick named the flying dust bin because they were very fast in a straight line but apparently not so capable in the bends. I think these cars are looking very stylish these days.
I did manage to feature a few of these cars today including the Punto, Ibiza and Prisms. The latter of which I've never seen before.
Yes sir, we like those Triumphs! Part Two is now up, and then Part Three will be up soon, so I hope that you enjoy those as well. The Lancia was very nice, as was the Ibiza (the first of two at the event) and that Punto Cabriolet. Hope you enjoyed it yesterday.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting I thoroughly enjoyed it despite having missed so much.
@@markonmotoring , I gather you enjoyed having a chat with Mr Coleman too, sir.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting I most certainly did sir.
Two Avenger estates? I think that's all they ever built?
No, they built them all the way from 1970 to 1981 as far as I remember.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting I was kidding, loved the Avengers. My mates dad had an estate. Before that he had a Minx estate and I had a hunter saloon and then a Hunter estate. all very under rated cars in my opinion.
@@kevinbartram5302 , yes, been trying to get an Avenger on the channel for a long time now, and would like to try a Hunter as well!
Think the Maxi HL colour is Sandglow.
Yes, that sounds right to me, thank you, sir!
Joseph: will you be going to the Helmingham Hall classic and sports car festival on the 7th of August? 🙂
Oh sir, I am afraid not, there is another show weekend for me to attend already.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting That's a bummer. When I was taken there last year, I bumped into JayEmm, lol!
@@Andy-eo3mq , yes, he is a very nice chap.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting Well, I didn't bump into JayEmm today, but I did bump into the legendary Lawrie, from Lawries Mechanical Marvels, lol! 😃
@@Andy-eo3mq , we know Mr Rose, sir, a most interesting gentleman.
Brilliant video, Thankyou. At 15 minutes, that’s an Astravan not an Astramax.
Could you possibly tell me the difference between the Astramax and Astravan? I always knew them as the Astramax, but perhaps I am totally wrong. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@lloydvehicleconsulting yes, no problem! The Astravan was basically a 3 door Astra estate whereas the Astramax was bigger, with a boxier load space and different rear lights. The Astramax was actually more van like than the Astravan. Sorry to be picky, I’m just a car nerd. I love your videos by the way and was trying to get to FOTU myself but my 1989 rover 800 (beige of course) has been very grumpy lately and I didn’t want to risk breaking down!
@@davidw8759 , I am not sure most people know the difference at all, but now we do. That is a shame about your 800, we know about problems with old Rovers all too well on this channel, sir...
Astravan not Astramax (higher roof/capacity). You did well not to swerve - it's a rare petrol with a 4 speed 'box.
Yes, so I understand. I didn't realise there is was a difference, but I do know. Is this a 1.3 or 1.4 Family I engine?
@@lloydvehicleconsulting 1.4
@@SteveDull , I thought the later ones were the 1.4!
@@lloydvehicleconsulting 88/89 seems very late for a 1.3. Maybe the owner will get in touch with you to clarify. The new H reg one I had used the 1.7 with 'alternative' fueling!
@@SteveDull , the Circle L engine about which we do not speak?
1 of 8 my you’ve been busy
Yes sir, the first two parts are up now, and the third will be up soon.
How on earth could you tell the 106 was a diesel? She's whisper quiet.
Nice to be the first car in the video, though...
I would like think we can still talk about the actual car as a piece of design or model spec, regardless of the fuel type, just don't mention the said fuel. Just ignore that fact and focus on the car itself. That Sierra for example, is such a rare beast, and does warrant a mention. Just my opinion. I know MR Lloyd is a very fair man. Most of the time the engines aren't running or on show. At the day end of the day, it's still someone's pride and joy, forbidden fuel or not. All cars on show, are a testament to someone's passion to keep them alive and on the road.
I am afraid, sir, that you do know the rules by now, and as much as you seem to be pleading for me to change them, you knew that it wasn't going to happen, didn't you? We shall continue to refrain from talking about diesels on this channel, even if an XUD is clattering merrily away in the background, it is all over the merchandise, and it has been the case for over 1,000 videos and almost four years.
11th
Next chance coming soon, sir...
1st
I'm claiming insider knowledge sir 😂
I am at Mr Coleman's house, sir...
2nd.....
Very good, sir!
