- The big weekend of King Charles III's Coronation saw Brooklands celebrated the Best of British.
There was a host of British built vehicles, from the pre-war Alvis, Norton and Sunbeam right through to the latest Jaguar models and a celebration of 100 years of MG. Enjoy a tour of the cars and meet the owners!
Fantastic video, well done👍🏾 loads of beautiful cars and great history, thank you 🚗
Great show yesterday, what a fantastic mix of brands. Thanks to all the owners for chatting to me, I really enjoy that part of the process of making any video.
Great video and thanks for interviewing my 1971 yellow TVR Vixen Series Three (GPB 16J) . Many thanks!
Thanks John, lovely car, nice to see it again!
Another great watch of a car show I couldn't get to. Keep em coming 👍
Thanks Rob, much appreciated, this time of year it’s difficult to make all the shows as the calendar is pretty packed!
Good to see you yesterday, great selection of vehicles.
Thanks David, it was a cracking show, wasn’t sure what to expect but it delivered!
Thank you for this, only problem...was too short. Just loved seeing the cars and the effort people (& yourself) went to, to show their cars. The Belgian MG blew my mind, there was I thinking I was a petrol head and I didn't even know of these cars. Not a big MG fan but felt in all my years I would have come across one or known. I just need to get out more now to these events but time is my enemy. Loved the variation in TVR's too. The 400SE was my dream car, I nearly bought a TVR Tasmin back in the 80's which had the Ford V6 (Capri) engine. I am going to watch again later with a nice pot of tea and once again marvel, drool and dream of the cars there at Brooklands, just brilliant.
Thanks Chris, I loved that MG too, I knew it was MGB based but the full story was fascinating. For me the Gordon Keeble and Humber Imperial made a big impression on me.
@@Lot76CARS Seeing them in the flesh and talking with the owners, yes makes for a better impression. I always love to hear the background stories. Cheers.
Great to watch this and thanks for featuring my car when there were far nicer examples there you could have chosen!
Thanks Martin, which was your car? .. I saw so many!
The red MGC GT at around 45 minutes.
@@Martin_in_Cheltenham ah yes! Tartan red? I often wondered why they were less favoured than the V8, but with a short production run probably much more collectible. I must try an MGB/C at some stage as it’d be good to speak from experience. A very pretty design by Pininfarina!
@@Lot76CARS yes tartan red.. they made about 9000 or so MGC convertibles and GTs. The V8 was around 2500 or so total and all GTs. They got off to a bad start with the press and are more a grand tourer than sports car. However they drive well and keep up with modem traffic.
@@Lot76CARS the V8 is a great car as well.
Sorry I've only just got around to viewing Simon, have been rather busy this past week.
Just what I needed while enjoying Victoria sponge and tea.
That MG RV8 is identical to the one I saw in Sunday, The best and whistles MGB for the 90's.
That Hilman is mighty impressive and that fuel filler is a nice touch though I doubt that for safety reasons we will ever see that on a new car.
Remarkable how many Gordon Keeble remain of the original production run. A very elegant car, as is that E type.
The XK120 is beautiful with its flowing lines and enclosed rear wheels.
I really like that Elan S2 and a colour I've not previously seen. Much like the Fiat Barchetta they are often discounted as a sports car due to being front wheel drive but supposedly they still do drive well.
The River P5B remains one of my all time favourite classics.
Just think of Vulcan crews hurtling diem the runway in that Vanguard in readiness of the four minutes warning.
A former work colleague used to have a Scimitar GTC.
The sabre six has elements of both Spitfire and Sun beam alpine.
The blue one looks a totally different car with that different front end.
The Vixen looks like an exciting classic with an interesting history.
I actually liked the look of the Griffith 500 back in there day and they were probably the model.that opened my eyes to the brand.
It's as easy to mix up the S type with the MK2 as it is the 420G with the mk10.
The green MK1 Capri's look near identical to one that turns up at a lot of local shows up here.
That MK1 Elise looks fabulous in that colour.
I don't think.there is anything more 70's than a Bond Bug.
I do love an R8, especially pre facelift though I think.those may be later R8 alloys. Looks like a very tidy car.
That coach build MGN is beautiful, the streamlined seamless body in that paint looks every bit the premium coach built car as any Aston Zagato would.
The MGC was criticised for heavy steering with its heavier engine, apparently press cars went out with under inflated tyres which made the problem.woese and sadly cemented the cars reputation.
Sadly there wasn't any MG YB at the event I attended but I did get the see an MG VA and Magnette. As you say it's easy to forget that MG also produced saloon cars back then.
The TF version of the T series did look more streamlined than earlier incarnations but the MGA must have looked thpuroughly modern by comparison at launch.
I saw both the roadster and coupe versions last weekend.
Thanks Mark, I wasn’t sure if the event would be a good one as it was the first time they’d run it. However, it was the huge mix of different that made it. It was awesome to see those Gordon Keebles close up.. amazing that so many survived from a small production run. My Dad ran a Humber Imperial back in the day… what a luxury car that felt inside. As for M100 Elans, they must surely become more collectible at some stage!
Fantastic review of cars and good to see you talking to some owners so we can find out more information i missed the show due to the coronation is this a regular event be good to put in the diary if so
Many thanks Malcolm, I think it’s the first time they’ve run this particular event, although they run regular events and it a venue I really like www.brooklandsmuseum.com/whats-on
