What a fantastic show. Thanks for featuring my Escort Van, it really was well received by the public, many with memories of previously owning one. Congratulations to everyone who entered the pride of ownership competition and well deserved to the winners and runners up. Steve ( Ford Escort Van)
It was my pleasure Steve. It had lots of positive comments and I’m still stunned how well it’s survived. I hope to see you on the show circuit again some time, thanks, Simon
Great start to the show Simon. I think the rear quarters of that Yugo definitely have a strong hint of Citroen ZX to it. Fascinating story about that.Opel Monza. Never occurred to me that a scrappage scheme car could end up the subject of a battle with the DVLA over a logbook. The attention to detail on that Toyota Camper is superb, love the period correct looking CRT TV. The Y10 is indeed rare, saw one at FOTU last year (or possibly the year before) and it was the first in a while. When I was with the ATC in the 90's one of the officers had an FSO. It was somewhat crude and had a gear stick that stuck out of the lower centre dash at a peculiar angle. I dare say like the Lada it was probably one of the better eastern block cars. That 190 looks stunning and is a credit to its young owner I remember those Mk6 escort vans well as my dad worked for Royal Mail and they had loads of them, non as nice as this one though. My dad owned a W reg base model mini metro with the recessed head lamps though it was painted a red/orange colour rather than green.
Many thanks Mark, as usual, there was a huge amount to see, and plenty of left field cars for me to film! That Monza is an extremely brave project but I’m so glad Ian’s going to see it through. The dedication of those FSO guys building a car from a bare shell and boxes of parts was just incredible wasn’t it! As one of the Armstrong Siddley guys put it, “it’s a restoration show not a polishing show mate” as he cracked on with the front suspension!
I agree both were great examples, but that Escort van just looked like it had come out of the showroom. It’s difficult to believe it had any more than light use and going to the supermarket and back!
Great video, thanks! Mine is the Red Yugo Sana - and yes, the styling certainly is similar to the ZX of the same era! Shame I wasn't around when you filmed, would have probably bored you for some time talking about it!
Thanks, I’d love to have a chat with you about these cars, they must be pretty thin on the ground now? Hopefully you’ll be at one of the other shows I’m going to, maybe festival of the Unexceptional?
I like how you talk about every car with so much enthusiasm. Too many people stick to one brand of car or only concentrate there attention to the more expensive cars and brush of the rest which I find very boring. So with that said I enjoyed your video and look forward to more future videos.
The reason the BMW isetta is a UK car and LHD is because the engine is fitted on the right hand side of the car with the driver's weight designed to counter balance the engine The UK was the only market to have the isetta redesigned to be a 3 wheeler, in all other markets it was a 4 wheeler - it had to have 3 wheels to be driven on a motorbike licence and tax class Originally British versions were built in RHD and they rolled over really easily, they actually fitted a large weight on the left hand side to try and balance it out So in the end they just built LHD models for the UK
Many thanks for clarifying that, I couldn’t reconcile the fact that it had been sold through the UK dealer but was still LHD. That’s an excellent point, you make about the engine being counter balanced by the drivers weight, I hadn’t thought about that, but it does make sense now.
The Renault 10 didn’t make it home apparently! The Sapporo was rare new but was stunning to look at in the show. The Rover colour changing were just the best colour ever!
Yes, I just had to have those ZRs on the thumbnail. I was captivated by the Sapporo, which was actually for sale… tempting as it was in mint condition!
The stand out of this show is the 1978 Toyota Hiace been the most common van in Australia and this Hiace van has original paint engine interior why its a Toyota also that Chrysler 180 in Australia were the Chrysler Centura haven't seen one in many years but l see many Toyota Hiaces new 10 20 even 30 years old still going and in N.S.W passing there yearly rego check
That Hiace was mint.. so much so I thought it must have been painted. In the UK they did sell too many due to Japanese import restrictions in the 70s anyway and many rusted away. I didn’t know Australia got the Chrysler 180 as well!
@@Lot76CARS ln Australia Hiaces are everywhere new ones 10 30 and 30 year old ones still running well most popular van in Australia infact Australia Post are using them they have for along l can remember they used Ford Transits for many years and then Renault vans l guess Australia Post bought them because the latest Hiaces are much larger than larger width wise than the previous generations and another thing is they replace the Mercedes Vito as Ambulances N.S.W Ambulance service are assessing them as l have seen one Toyota Hiace Ambulance from the local Hospital good choice they finally realised that the Toyota's will be more reliable and go to any building site and you see all the trades vans lined up and they all are Hiaces of various generations also most taxis are Toyota Hybrids after all Toyota has been the largest selling brand in Australia for the past 26 years and the only other make that may outsell them is Mazda you get most Australians buy reliable cars vans SUVs
I did see some work going on, but apart from the FSO nothing as extensive, maybe I missed it? Some guys were really enthusiastically doing some pretty major jobs… and making the point that “it’s not a polishing show it’s is a restoration show mate”

Thanks for taking the time to look at and talk about my Uno Turbo! It was nice to see it dug out from the garage and in the open for people to look at
So long since I’ve seen one and your car looked so refreshingly standard! Good luck with the restoration.
Many thanks to all those owners I chatted with yesterday, a great show again!

What a great show and some fantastic cars really enjoyed your video and interviews.
Many thanks for watching!
What a great selection. Love that big red Chrysler.
Me, too, reminded me that my grandad had a light blue metallic one years ago, I’ve never ever seen one since until the show.
Great start to the show Simon.

The escort van mini metro and golf looked mint

Great review. Cheers Bob
Bob, many thanks for watching and commenting appreciate the support. It was a cracking show, I really enjoyed it this year.
Great cheers 👍🏆
This is amazing.

@@Lot76CARS Yep, I'll be at FOTU so catch up there!
@retromatt74 brilliant, I’ll be there in my Merc 190E!

Many thanks for your comments. I like to have a variety of cars, I like too many cars and brands!

It’s still about the golf for me
A time when you could tell different car brands
Hi if any one is there today the is history of HUSTLER on the Barn Findis in the passenger window if they would like to post a picture of it?
Love it😂
Many thanks Paul, much appreciated!

Hi guys, I'm a professional detailer and I got the paint on that Hiace into the condition it's in now 👌 very much enjoyed my time working on it!
@TheSecretWheelCleaner well, it’s a credit to you… it was unbelievable, I thought it must have been repainted!
Thank you so much 😊 it's nice to see him still showing it off
3:25 that's definitely LHD, not RHD
Doh, how did I miss that!🫢
Road Fund Licence ? Oh, you mean pollution tax !
wasn't much about restoration just a classic car show
I did see some work going on, but apart from the FSO nothing as extensive, maybe I missed it? Some guys were really enthusiastically doing some pretty major jobs… and making the point that “it’s not a polishing show it’s is a restoration show mate”
I was expecting to see some English wheels some panel making etc not just people tinkering with their cars@@Lot76CARS
