Hi 👋 Richard. These old images of cars transports me back in time. Its like looking through an old photo album.
Fantastic ! I love these selections of photographs - take me right back to my childhood. So much less traffic around and everything seemed so civilised and un hurried ! All those British car Marques GONE now - very sadly. No competition any more. Thanks for compiling these videos Rick, they really are a trip down memory lane. Take care 🙂
Thanks, amazing really how quickly all these makes just vanished
Thanks for another enjoyable set of photos, the Old Ford Popular special is definitely a Siva Edwardian as driven by Dr Who .
Thought it was, thanks
Frightening to realise that I owned at least 6 of these model cars. Hillman Minx, Ford Anglia, Triumph Dolomite, Vauxhall FD, Rover SD1, Ford Escort Mk1. Might have missed a few too… Life passes so quickly.
Another interesting collection RJ.
Lovely collection. Thanks for sharing these.
Thanks Neil
Great video.
Back when the Yugo first came to the U.S., I had a young friend who worked at the same restaurant as I. We became best friends.
When he turned 18, his mom’s boyfriend co-signed and put up the front money for a brand new Yugo GVL. [ The “L” was for “Luxury “🤣]. He treated it gently, but it was in the shop more than on the road. Recall, after recall, and always issues. At 40,000 miles, it was just wore out. Transmission was going, the rings in the motor were bad, front end was literally worn out, CV joints were clicking, speedometer and fuel gauge packed up,…. They took the car to the Bank [ where it was financed], and they handed over the keys. [ They stopped payments, and the man got a “ding “ against his Credit.].
The last ones to be imported were not as bad. Some still even exist here. I saw a convertible not long ago. Should have taken a photo.
📻🙂
Ha other than occasionally at the big car show held at the NEC I never see Yugos over here
Another fabulous look back into our motoring history, I had to chuckle at the 70’s household carpets in that lovely old Cressida, my parents did exactly the same thing with most of their cars in that era, they generally accompanied them with a ‘Feu Orange’ air freshener you had to stick pins in to activate and some fabric fluffy seat covers, they were the days !
The steam truck is Sentinel DG6P Type Wagon, regn. GT 2827, number 8590, Pendle Lady. Built in 1931 by the Sentinel Waggon Works in Shrewsbury
Thanks, presumably still around somewhere?
Very enjoyable & bring back so many memories. Nice pictures of the Mk 2 sprite & Mk 1 midget. Having owned a pastel blue Mk1 sprite, many happy memories of driving it on cold mornings with the tona in place, side screens up & heater blasting away. Wonderful!!
Reminds me of when I had my Spitfires on the road, roof down in rain, snow etc
Nice as always. I particularly like the Vitesse. Great idea to put a relatively large engine in a relatively small car. Did not help Triumph much. Yet, when BMW copied this a few years later with the famous 2002 range, it did help BMW a lot. Pity, the car world would have been better if the popular British makes would still be around. Jaguar, LR and Morgan are not really popular cars... By the way the first picture with the Opel Rekord is most likely in The Netherlands. The houses look like Dutch ones and the license plate of the Rekord looks Dutch as well, even though only a small part of it is visible.
The photo at 27:22 is in Venice. The tower in background is the Torre dell'Orologio at the Piazza Edmondo Matter, Mestre, Venice.
Dry nice collection Rick. Most enjoyable. Cheers Bob
The photo with the large gate building is in Munich Germany. It is the Siegestor (Victory gate) which is the 5th largest gate in the world apparently.
Appreciate the locations info you've shared
I've proudly driven a succession of Volvo models since 1982, their current all electric range does not inspire me unfortunately.
As a 60th birthday present for myself, a 5.0 litre V8 Mustang looks most inviting!
Fine Content!!! Here in my corner of Western Canada we have some concrete telephone poles similar to that concrete lamp post.I have seen and heard woodpeckers hammering at the top of them! CHEERS from HERE!
I've never seen poles like this here in the UK, I wonder if any survive?
@@oldclassiccarUK The concrete hydro poles I have seen in some areas here seem "permenant" 20.....25 yrs old so far.
@@oldclassiccarUKWe had concrete lamp posts on our street in Harrogate up to around the early 90s when they were replaced by the usual tubular steel ones.
Thanks Richard . Must mention my brother had a '61 mk1 midget in red 695 JOD .
Super collection of nostalgic photos. I always wonder what the story is behind the people in the photos.
Thanks, yes same for me too
Great color photos. Your slide scanner looks to be far better than the one I have. Some very sharp views in this one. Thanks.
It scans pretty well and then I edit each in Photoshop to improve where necessary, remove dust etc
Hi, I've just been watching another of your fascinating videos . Re. the lamp post mentioned, I remember them well, there were some in the street were I lived as a child. I believe they were made by a company called Concrete utilities in Ware Hertfordshire. Kind regards Dave from Southend on sea.
Interesting, I felt confident that someone would recognise them :)
Ohhh, by the way. The BMW is definitely Dutch. Yet I believe it is not a 2002 as those had chrome strips in the grille, if memory serves me well... It is over 50 years ago 😊...
The white ADO 16 Registration number 8657 KM , I think the location is the New Forest. I lived in Southampton for several decades so that looks familiar with the 'soil mound' on the right it has the feel of the New Forest. Some really interesting locations here as well as the interesting cars. What are some of the events taking place? Who knows but you can bet that a camera would be pressed into service at a wedding and of course holiday snaps too. The slides have scanned very well so thank you Rick for taking the trouble to prepare this collection for our viewing, most enjoyable. 👍👍
Glad you liked it!
at 5:46 the Rover P6 Mk1 is in the very rare colour of 'Willow Green', which was offered only up to 1966 or so I believe...
My dad was a ham (W7OZJ) since the 50s. That setup at about 30:50 reminds of an activity we call "field day" in the U.S. Operators take their cars and antenna wire, etc, to a remote location and try to "work" people DX. When I was about Harley's age, I was going along to climb trees and hang antenna wire for the duffers. ! It's a fun hobby activity, but is also used for civil defense. When the Teton dam failed in the 70s, the hams were mobile and passing messages "traffic," they call it) so families would know their relatives, etc., were safe.
Brilliant clips of bygone motoring and área years
Glad you enjoyed it
A bit of information on 2 of the photos. The location of the one with the Morris Minor and the Opel Rekord would be The Netherlands. The houses look distinctly Dutch, and the registration on that Opel is definitely Dutch. And so is the registration on the BMW. And it's a bit of a special registration too. As the BN series of number plates were reserved for non-Dutch citizens residing in The Netherlands.
Interesting re the registration, thanks
Loved this. As the family had a friend who ran the local Renault franchIse, we hat several., including 4s 16s but sadly no DS, but I was given an R8 when I went to uni and loved it; it had some of the most comfortable seats of any in the era . A fiend took me to the Lakes in the snow in his parents new Anglia and the one on a Lakes pass looks like either Hardknott or Kikstone, I rallied a Midget and rather modified it wheI span into a wall on the Manx International! My school friend had an Riley they pompously called a baby Bentley as it had a hand formed body! And I once drove a Cortina for a while which was the most tail happy car of all, pirouetting at the drop of a had when cornering enthusiastically. But hey! I could go on as I recognised all of the cars (except some commercials) due to me being an ancient codger who lived in the Golden Era! Excllent vd! Rob.
Glad it proved to be of interest!
I think the castle in the photo of NGB 855V is Bamburgh castle in Northumberland
Incredible at the minute 27 : 10 there is my city in Italy, the city is Mestre near Venice in Veneto in northern Italy, a city famous only for be the mainland side of the mythical Venice the watercity, we see the clock tower : "Torre dell'orologio" in italian in the only square of the city : Piazza Ferretto and the neo gothic ex Cinema Excelsior, and at the time in the Seventies in my family in Mestre Venezia we had a Italian english car a Innocenti I4 / Austin 1100...
I forget, today the Piazza Ferretto square of Mestre Venezia is a pedestrian square...
Thanks for the information!! :)
I think the Caravan behind the MK1 Escort Estate may be a Thomson….
Choice !🥰
Excellent! I remember quite a lot of those......
Incidentally, I saw something interesting parked up in Amble, Northumberland recently and took a couple of pics. Where can I send them for your perusal?
If you send them to rj@oldclassiccar.co.uk they'll get to me, in theory
The photo at 24::57 with the BP sign is in front of the Albergo (hotel) Forni in the town of Airolo in Schitzerland
👍👍👍👍👍
Is it probably a Vauxhall Ventora, as it has a black vinyl covered roof?
Hi I've asked before is Peter ward from fallowfeild I think I know him a great guy worked for Hart Road garage??? Thanks
wrt missing DVLA data. I have seen hundreds of UK registered cars in scrapyards in Romania. Pre-Brexit, the UK was a popular source of cheap second-hand vehicles which often gave several years of service before finally requiring uneconomic repairs. I suspect that few of those exports or eventual scrappings were ever notified to the DVLA.
I'm sure that is the case especially with cars of the last 20 years or so, my old Jeep was last seen heading eastwards
The two first Hondas were booed, not hagchbafgcks
Sorry booted not booed. Apologies
