Capesthorne Hall classic car show, August 2022 | Old cars out & about in Cheshire

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ย. 2022
- The August 2022 Capesthorne Hall classic car show was a two-day event, day one (which we attended) saw Jaguar cars as the featured marque, while day two would see the products of Mercedes-Benz line up outside the main hall at Capesthorne, situated just off the A34 in Cheshire.
As previous videos show, there's always an interesting mix of cars that turn up at this event, so we headed over and prepared for a long day of walking around, and talking about, the old cars that turned up. We tried to book in but entries had closed by then (the cut-off date hadn't yet passed so presumably it was full up).
Highlights for us this time included the following sightings:
A Puma (ex-Brazil, based on VW Beetle underpinnings)
American fire truck
Citroen SM
FIAT 130 Coupe
SS Jaguar 1.5 Litre
MGB GT V8
Triumph GT6 Mk1 & Mk3
Humber Hawk
Ford 100E Squire
SAAB 9000
Morris Cowley "bullnose"
Jensen FF
Austin Allegro estate
Ford Consul Mk2 x2
Triumph Vitesse
... and more of course.
The video begins with watching the cars arriving, there are also clips of some autojumble gems that we spotted while ambling around the grounds at Capeshorne Hall, then a walkaround and closer look at many of the cars in attendance. I couldn't feature every car (the video would be twice as long) but I had a good go.
Let me know in the comments which car(s) you'd want to be taking home, and if you were exhibiting, tell us more about your car please.
Don't miss previous show visits that are also on the Old Classic Car channel if you're new here. Thanks for watching.

Just to let you know I live in Darwin, Australia and am an Automotive Diesel Mechanic as an indentured tradesman..... I did my Apprenticeship in a Perkins Workshop we also did Gardners and other British Engines Lister Dorman etc I have been in the trade nearly fifty years and am retired..... my first car was a Wolseley 15/60 Farina although I got my licence in a Morris 1100 and My step father let me drive his Mini1100 van around occasionally...... My fathers first car was a bit of a rarity a Mark V Jaguar Convertible and sadly he had a major accident in it before I was born.... I still however have some of its tools. My younger brother drove a Silver Shadow for a few years, I currently drive a Toyota Avalon Grande ( made in Australia on the Camry Platform) basically the Cressida follow on in Australia and a Mercedes Benz ML 270 and yes I off road it. I still have all my Whitworth tools so I get asked advice and can I borrow this or that or do you have a half inch Whitworth tap, as Australia used Unified threads from the fifties for the Australian built vehicles before they went Metric Whitworth tools are a little bit of a rarity. My Oldest son is a Panel beater and restores old vehicles as part of his job.
The lambagini is an mr2 kit car same with the ferrari's
Sir, you are an encyclopedia of vintage car knowledge. Very impressed.
Thank-you!
Yes, but one model is missing ( Simca Chrysler from 1972-1982 ) model 2L automatic. Regards from Johannesburg...
Nice to see so many favorites ! Citroen SM ,Simca 1100,I'ts a shame so many 70's Japanese cars are gone forever! I loved 70's Datsuns!
I was at that very show and I have to tell you I was like a kid in a sweet shop. Looking at all the cars that I remember seeing but never actually driving. And the Jaguar set-up outside the Hall just made it more meaningful and memorable than I could possibly imagine. The show didn't disappoint and neither did the venue. Both went hand-in-hand and complemented each other. A truly great day out that I will never forget, especially after going to the US Auto Show at Oulton Park the previous day and being able to see American muscle in all its glory.
Thanks, yes we were at the US Auto Show the day before too although I didn't video it
Another super classic showing really entertaining with good weather to video
Really terrific coverage of a great show. Thank you. Nice to see a good selection of pre-war cars, especially the Flying 10 and that glorious Jaguar SS. Just wonderful.
Wot a lorra cars, great video and excellent breakfast viewing.. That speed bump is definitely OTT and looks lethal.
Thankyou for going to the effort of making all of your videos, with my GTV off the road at the moment and living in an isolated part of Mid Wales, I haven't been able to attend any car shows. Your videos allow me to immerse myself for some time every week and it makes me feel so much better. Thanks again!
That's great to know, thanks for watching!
I recently lunched at the Swettenham Arms, 61 years after taking my first drink ever in a pub there. Dangerous territory!
Thanks for sharing. The little Golden shorts car is a Puma, madeira in Brasil with a VW engine.
Another really enjoyable and informative video with some stunning cars on show. As my Dad had a Zodiac Mk3 I enjoyed seeing those. The highlight for me was the Citroen SM, But then again, as I used to run a very tatty MGB GT V8, the Orange one (Bracken?) was probably more in my league.
I agree with you that the Princess should have been a hatchback from the start, the same could be said about the Allegro, BL made some strange decisions….Thanks for posting.
From the Land of Down Under [Australia], thank you.
I hope to get back to this show again in 2023
That Fiat 124 coupe was a beauty. They were the first twin cam belt driven production car and the first to have a structural glued in windscreen. I had an 1800 Mreg one in Champagne.One day I stopped very quickly and the windscreen kept going. The flange was like a row of rotten teeth where the water had got between the surround and the glue. What a job it was to weld in new metal. i needed a new screen as I ran over it as it slid off the bonnet. The bottom wishbones rotted too and were replaced by better Lada items. Undersealed with pasta and structural paint the body was terrible if pretty but the mechanics were sublime.
HA wow that doesn't sound good! It's amazing that any survived really.
Great video Sir,3years ago I visited a friend in australia and at a place near orange NSW I entered his shed and there was a 1951 austin london taxi complete with working meter,the things you find in the strangest places.
Well this is great stuff., I play whilst doing the evening meal etc. most importantly I have been involved with historic cars all my life as my family is Allard and I am the custodian/collector for the family and Allard club records. Until a month ago though I had never owned a classic car, Allard’s are too expensive for me but we now have given back the new car and gone for a wonderful Morris Traveller. I feel more involved already in the wider classics world and even learning rudemetary mechanics with the Morris. Thank you for such an easy watching video and I do believe even the very occasional Allard. Keep up the videos. Gavin Allard
Hi Gavin, great to have you on board, one of the more recent original b&w photo compilation videos features photos of a prototype Allard with a steel folding roof. Until last year I owned an old Commer race car transporter that used to carry the Allard-based Sphinx sports-racer in the 1960s, so yes Allards have featured on the channel on several occasions and will no doubt do so again! Thanks for watching.
Stumbled across this by chance .......brilliant ! Remind me NEVER to play "l spy " with you ! I know my stuff but you'd knock me into a cocked hat ! And l've only watched half so far . The 2500 S ran on S.U's .l had a 2.5 pi turbine smooth and the ultimate pocket rocket in the day . I look forward to watching the rest . Beautiful setting . I the opportunity arises l'll have to pop up . I'm in Devon. Thankyou very much .
Hi John, there are plenty of gaps in my knowledge trust me - especially US cars. Thanks for watching, there are quite a few show visits now on the channel (including others from this same venue).
Thank you very enjoyable
Thanks Greg
Well Rick, that was one hell of a line up ! What a great show and some really lovely vehicles there. My Dad had a Mk3 Zodiac Abbott Farnham Estate, which my sister and I did a lot of learning to drive in. It seemed huge, then he found a Mk4 Estate and that was even bigger ! Thanks for all your hard work with these videos - they ar so appreciated, and bring back so many happy memories. Take care 🙂
Thanks for sticking with the channel!
Well. I've just watched the remainder and l found it to be as informative and entertaining as l'd hoped . You know when you sometimes drive a legendary car and it underwhelms , well the M5 did. I was so disappointed ! Likewise a Ford Escort 1600 turbo . Thanks for sharing .
The "Dear oh Dear" whilst strolling past the new Lexus 🤣 Tickled me Pink.....
It was the politest thing I could think of at that moment :)
Wow, very impressive collection of cars. I can see Harley is getting more knowledgeable with the vintage cars.
Thanks, yes he's picking stuff up all the time
Love your vlogs.....you certainly know your automobiles..cheers !
Thanks Fred, glad you like the vids
Thank you for a really super video! You certainly know your cars. We had Pumas in Canada in the late 70's, sold by the local BMW agent, the style was nice and the quality seemed pretty good. Until the mid 70's we had most of the British cars represented here but our Rovers, Farinas and Minors have mostly rusted away however it is still possible to find nice ones on Kijiji for not too much money. Get your young friend a ride in a P6 so he can really appreciate how good they were. Cheers!
Thanks! yes he (my son) is beginning to like the P6s, check out his CarTraction channel if you get a minute
thank you
Where has this Channel been all my life? So much nostalgia. Gonna get lost in this content 😊🚗. Brilliant channel 👏
Many thanks for your kind words, there's plenty to go at :-)
@@oldclassiccarUK looking forward. Thanks bud 👍
Thanks for another great vid. What would I take home? Sensible choice would be the two-tone grey 2CV, or for a blast, the tyre-shredding TVR Griffith.
Fantastic! Thankyou for these videos so much fun and your knowledge is enlightening , I can watch these for hours, brilliant. Have to throw in an edit here and say how chuffed I was to recognise the 4/72 before you did! Easy for me as my father had a beautiful maroon example with tan leather interior and burr walnut dash it had an impressive overdrive If I remember correctly.
Glad you liked it, I wasn't sure whether the Riley was a 4/68 or a 4/72 as they both look very similar. Keep an eye out for next Sunday's walkaround vid at Bicester Heritage.
Belated breakdown... Sorry for your loss ❤😄💖
I watched in 2 parts 🤭 excellent show and coverage, just wonder how that beetle got over the road humps 🤔
18:57 "I'm extremely important and cannot be delayed with these lines! Who put that speed bump where I am entitled to speed!?" 😉
excellent
amazing.
Thanks, glad you liked it, I hope to do more videos like this in 2023
Thanks
Thanks Daniel!
Hi I've been watching your videos and this Jag ss you mentioned your son Harley and it reminded me that I know you we remember you told us that you just had a son and his name was Harley when he was born I've not seen you for years now but I really enjoy your videos very best wishes from Anglesey Mike
Hi Mike, thanks for looking in, yes I remember chatting with you on several occasions many years back!
'Sorry: no one is admitted into the building, much less allowed to stay there, particularly indefinitely. Kindly move along.'
(That speed bump should have been posted.)
good video, with classics I get annoyed when people don't know their stuff....but you do....
Some of the time I do ...... thanks for watching
Should have thought of that pine branch 1st.
Comme dans le passé,le prestige,la richesse dans la cour du chateau , les autres sur la prairie,le faubourg.....
So to answer your question on which car I'd take home, it would be the Gold Nissan Laurel. Such a beautiful looking thing.
39:19 Wouldn't it be great to see Lotus Cortina 8515 UN (so close in number and which auctioned 10 years ago for £42.500) sitting next to this one?
my first car was a Cortina
That might not be a speed hump it could be an over filled pot hole looking at the state of the roads in this country 😳
Some people have some strange ideas as to what makes a car 'classic'. Most of the stuff here is just old. However there are a few genuine classics to keep the real enthusiasts happy! (i.e. not just car polishers!)
Wellll love is in the eye of the beholder, it'd be boring it we all liked the same thing IMO - thanks for watching
@@oldclassiccarUK ... Very true but Ford Fiestas and Vauxhall Vivas are not classic cars however you behold them! Good for you for doing such a long video though.
I wonder what they had said about our Mk3 Fiesta XR2i-90? It's rare here, and probably rare in the UK as well, were never many made. You didn't show any Fiesta XR2i`s however, or are they trailer queens or Museum pieces these days?
I don't remember if there were any XR2is there or not, sure I've seen one or two somewhere (perhaps in another vid)
Another great video.
[ though I wish you would have filmed the American car show 😁].
QUESTION:
Who’s your friend that always pops in on your videos❓
(( just curious)).
🚗🙂
That's my son, Harley (see his CarTraction channel)
@@oldclassiccarUK
Oh, okay, cool
Thanks.
🚗🙂
And I’ve subscribed, too.
🚗🙂👍
@@jeffking4176 Thanks Jeff!
A small van drove by about 1:23. Do you know what that was? it says VW, but we don't get the cool stuff, over here in the states.
I remember seeing a small van drive by that had a front end similar to a VW, possibly a Subaru Sambar (?)
how did you get these classic cars
It was a car show open to the public
@@oldclassiccarUK ok thanks for the information
Do you still have the Volvo , or did I miss you selling it on
No that went, I wasn't all that keen on the auto box and the complexity of fuel injection etc. Had it been manual and on carbs it'd still be here.
I would be hanging my nose over the jag SS how much? lovely
I didn't ask the price, it went through auction a month ago at the Gold Cup but whether it sold there or not I'm not entirely sure.
14:02 It's a VW Puma GT/GTE mate. The Puma and SP2 were Brazilian Domestic Market cars and has been build by "Volkswagen do Brasil", they not often seen outside Brazil.
Most of them sadly have been rusted away over time.
VW Puma: th-cam.com/video/PCQNH3QGLC8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info, definitely an interesting little car
There are quite a few in South Africa.
Puma has quite a history.
I did not know they also made trucks an busses ❓
I actually did see a later Puma in St.Louis Missouri USA, when I was a young man, and that’s when I learned of its existence.
Very cool car.
🚗🙂
Sadly the zodiac estate that is seen at the beginning of the video was involved in an incident by the airport after leaving the show. I saw the aftermath of it.
Oh no, I hadn't heard that. Are the occupants ok? Is the car repairable do you think?
beetle based Puma
Hi. The red '67 E-Type 2+2 in the video doesn't have wing mirrors. I've been driving in SA for 50-odd years and I can't imagine driving a car without them. Is that legal in England or have I missed something? Regards, Neil
It is usual to have either wing- or door-mounted mirrors yes
There is no legal requirement to have wing or door mirrors fitted to a car of that age, BUT, if you drive such a car with a misted-up or obscured rear window, then you commit the offence of driving having no rearward vision. So, best fit at least one!
@@robbierobson3251 Thanks for your reply. Regards.
good video and nearly without reciting the number plates
Thanks for watching
Thanks for filming-a shame the organisers no longer allocate the cars by decade.It’s all a bit of a jumble now.
I think I prefer it like this tbh, otherwise you tend to end up with open spaces between each group of cars. That's how it is at Weston Park, fine when it's packed out, but on a quieter day there are gaps. Thanks for watching.
They are certainly egalitarian at these meets: any type of car at any age and none need not be classic or antique. It would seem that a new, basic econobox would qualify. Maybe just an entrance fee is all that's required.
Welllllllll the shows organised by this particular team have a cut-off of about 2007 for individual entries, club stands are allowed a few later cars I believe but they (should) be in the minority. The moderns are fairly easy to skip past though, although I agree that with people paying to enter, they deserve to see just proper old cars and not recent-ish models that turn up in any shopping centre car park. If it was free to enter then it'd be different. IMO.
Guy in the base spec red fiesta really stretching the term classic.
All cars of that era are getting quite scarce now
@@oldclassiccarUK old does not mean Classic. The term has been bastardised so much now it’s almost meaningless.
14:10 ~ 1979 Puma 1600 GT (Volkswagen chassis) manufactured in Brazil.
After owning both Jags and Rovers I’ve learned why the British don’t build computers….they can’t make them leak oil…
I'm not sure that leaking is reserved just for British cars though
Hello,
Has Harley seen the "Fanatik Builds" 1971 Triumph GT6 Mk 3 being restored in Canada? The video series started 8 years ago & charts the progress, so far! Here's a link to Epidode 1 from 4th January 2015. I hope he enjoys the unique rebuild. It's not an easy one.
th-cam.com/video/AuDXfH1N16c/w-d-xo.html
I'm not sure if he has but I'll ask him! thanks for watching
1000000/car/yes/no/🤔
Agreed
I expected this to be interesting, but stopped watching because of the incredibly boring and annoying commentary.
Sorry for being so incredibly boring
@@oldclassiccarUK well each to there own! I find you interesting.
