- Great weather saw hundreds of classic cars descend onto the display field at the Capesthorne Hall classic car show recently. In this video, part 1 of 2, we take a walk around the old cars and other historic vehicles on display. If you could take home just one of the vehicles featured, which would it be?
The super-rare Austin A35 pickup would certainly be on my shortlist, although the split-window Series 2 Morris pickup would also be a contender. Several Mercedes Benz cars on display outside the main hall definitely appealed, the wonderful 220S cabriolet and the maroon 220SE being particularly eye-catching. The majority of the classic cars seemed to be from the 1950s through to the 1980s, although there were several tempting earlier cars dotted around the showground, and also later cars that are beginning to appear more frequently at such transport gatherings.
There weren't too many pre-war and/or vintage cars on show, but one that does remain in my memory is a wonderful old Humber saloon car of the late 1920s.
Other honourable mentions go to the bullnose Morris tourer, the glossy black Mk1 Ford Zephyr Six saloon, the Sunbeam Rapier three-position DHC, the Vauxhall Victor FB estate, and the extremely rare Hooper-modified Ford Consul Capri.
Part 2 of this look at the Capesthorne Hall classic car show will follow shortly and a link will be included at the end of this video.

Looks like Rootes Group heaven !
At least we have some seriously high end good taste, thanks for the naration.😎🥳👌👍
Some rare cars here. Very rare.
Thank you for the great civilised talk about classic cares. Good seeing the young fellow helping. You know your cars Sir.
I was there with a BMW Z4 2003 model. Enjoyed the show very much in a lovely setting.
I was born in 1951 so a great many of these vehicles were a part of my " formative years " as they say, so many thanks for some very happy nostalgia.
As for my favourite, I have to say I was smitten with the Austin A35 pick-up an absolute gem.
It's reassuring to see the hobby is well supported. Amusing to see American vehicles in a foreign environment environment.
So many beautifully prepared cars, the Alpine, Triumph Vittese, MGB GT V8, I am salivating at these cars.
Cant beleive you passed over and didnt comment on that amazing red Humber Super Snipe next to the Vauxhall ! That and the Mk. 1 Zephyr my favorite having owned one and many other old British cars in the past Now very few left here in Aust. I need to live in Britain.! really like and appreciate your show-thanks !
Did I not look at both those cars in the other vid I did for this show? Can't remember offhand but I remember photographing them. Thanks for watching
Another great video of Classic Cars, what a large venue.
Just love that Austin A35 Pick 😍😍
My Avenger was heavily modified - with Isopon
Good stuff.
That was a nice 13/60, seems to have been given TLC, would love to see a Vitesse 2 Litre, Mk2 with the same treatment. New Zealand once had a few of these. A one time past acquaintance had one with a 2500cc engine in NZ some 30 years ago in a convertible.
MGB's are now quite a rare site in NZ, thanks for the ongoing automotive eye candy, as we say.😎👌👍😷
Many thanks for sharing ! It’s nice sitting in my recliner seeing these lovely cars while you do the hard work lol. Seriously though thank you. 👍
Pleased that these vids are of interest, many more are in the pipeline!
That looks like a magnificent show.
I have a soft spot for the Mini and all its variants. That and the TR-4. My brother had one while he was at university and I have many memories of rides in the "back seat" which was just big enough for my ten year old self. I already have a Mini, so I'd pick out one on the TR-4's to take home with me.
Looking forward to Pt. 2 ... Cheers!
Glad it was of interest Frank
Thank you so much! I've read about these for years, but not seen them. It's wonderful. Glad I found your channel. I suppose the American cars were brought n by GIs, after the war.
glad you're finding the channel of interest
That's my 1973 Rover P5B seen at 43 minutes in. I've only had it about 8 weeks after buying it unseen in an auction!
A small world eh!? thanks for watching
My late father had a black V8 Pilot nice car.
I had a Mk2 Consul in the mid 60s it had a three speed box
The problem with some of them was that two gears could engage which happened to me at 40mph causing the rear wheels to lock up and me skidding into a ditch
Three was plenty,happy days.
Interesting, the FB VX4/90 had two separate air cleaners ( round ), the later Chevette / late HC had that unusual long air cleaner.😎👌👍😷
The VX4/90 (White with blue side strip) was a FC (101) example, the earlier FB also had two round air cleaners, the later 1966 FC VX4/90 came with a larger one piece air cleaner covering both Carbs fitted until the FC was replaced in 1967 by the FD type.
Absolute favorite is the Alpine A110 followed by the Rover P6S and the MGBGTV8. Perhaps of interest is that after the A110 went out of production, the rights and , presumably the tooling, were purchased by the Mexican company Dyna and produced in small number as the Dynalpine. I also like the BMW 525, I had an Arctic Blau 535 that, sadly was stolen and stripped. I also had a lovely E30 convertible which I, stupidly, sold.
Yes the Alpine is a beauty, we saw it the next day parked at the Oulton Park circuit for the Gold Cup meeting
Adore that Ford Pilot! Brings back those days of the late 50s and early 60s, when posh neighbours had one :-)
Glad you found it of interest Alex
Thanks for the time and effort to create and post this video for us....along with the very knowledgeable commentary! BTW, you were spot on with your ID of the Cadillac as "early Sixties"....it's a 1961.
Hi, thanks for watching and the feedback
Congratulacions for your chanel fron Brazil
What a brilliant Video ! A fantastic line up of classic cars there. My Dad had both the Mk3 and Mk4 Zodiac Estates - HUGE vehicles ! I really love the Maroon Ford Consul Capri - what a stunner. Can't wait for part 2 :-)
Thanks for watching Michael, Pt2 along soon!
Imperial Maroon, lovely colour.
A35 pickup how I wish 😄
Agreed, a pint-sized bobby dazzler if ever there was one
Love the Armstrong Siddely. When I worked for a builder in Watford in the 50/60s we had one of these as a surveyors' transport doubling as the fitters van. It usually had oxy/ acetylene bottles etc. on the back seat. It had gear system where you changed to a preselected gear by pressing an operating pedal. Don't think it had a clutch so might have been automatic but can't remember for sure.
Sounds like it had a pre-selector gearbox, no clutch pedal just a gear engagement switch/button/actuator where the clutch pedal would normally reside
Great video of a really nice show. It contained only the second Armstrong Siddeley I've ever seen. Not a common sight in the US at car shows. The first one I saw was at Hershey PA at the fall meet in the flea market at least 50 years ago. Yes, I'm a few years older than dirt.
Thanks, I'll bear that in mind when walking around shows this year
Lovely presentation. A small correction, the 1978 Pontiac was a Formula and not a Trans Am noted by the two hood scoops as opposed to one hood scoop better known as a Shaker on the Trans Am.
Ahh I see, thanks for the info!
my fev has to be the lovely ford v8 pilot
Non-customised standard Escort Mk1 2-doors are extremely rare!
Excellent, as always. But why the deathly silence whilst looking in the engine bay of that Alvis at 17:00?
Sometimes less is more :-) thanks for watching
@@oldclassiccarUK Lol
@Old Classic Car. That's my TR6 at 24:14, thanks for showing it. Only one question, what is the 'Subaru' comment?
I don't remember offhand I'll have to check again :)
👍👌👏❤️😊
Thanks for watching Mike
Thanks, but not a single early Austin/Morris Mini...I wish I kept my 1961 one
HI, Only just discovered your channel and your video of my 1927 Humber 14/40. If you ever fancy a drive in it or would like to do a video for your channel you are more than welcome. 4 speed gate change crash gear box makes for an interesting yet comfortable journey in a car which represents the luxury of the period. Thank you for a most interesting channel.
Hi Ian, thanks for your note, I think the Humber features in maybe two vids now (Capesthorne and Smallwood). Doing a video sometime about the Humber sounds like a good idea, if you could drop me a line (my contact email is on the main OCC site: www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/contact.htm) that'd be great, thanks.
Some of the 70s cars are still daily drivers in some parts of Africa and they're very cheap to buy, coz the owners are stuck with them, those cars are not valued in that part of the world.
the dusty rose Cadillac is a 1961
Thanks Connie
Are there still any Jensen Interceptors around with the Chrysler 383 c.i. engines?
Hi just thinking about the introduction of the new petrol type How are they going to affect the older cars is there still be going to be able to run them ? P.S I dont drive and nothing about cars and how they work.
There's usually a way around most hurdles that pop up, thanks for watching
Was that a supercharger on that Alvis?
It did look a little that way, I'd meant to have another look but it slipped my mind ...!
Beautiful cars, but Johnny Rotten was right: "It's a real fool who buys an English car, condemned to a life of garage misery!"
Mmmm I've had plenty of misery with European and American cars too, so it's not just a British thing! Thanks for watching
