An epic MALVERN classic car show, September 2023

- Join us at the Malvern Classic Car Show held at the Three Counties Showground in September 2023, in this Old Classic Car "show walkaround" video.
I had last visited the Malvern classic car show in October '22 and was keen to re-visit it in 2023, especially as the weather forecast was looking great in the days leading up to this year's event. Once again our trusty MX5 Mk1 was pressed into service and this time I was accompanied by my youthful assistant who recorded footage for his own channel, as well as walked around with me and offered his opinions on some of the classic cars, motorcycles and vans we saw. We also ambled over to the autojumble area on more than one occasion throughout the day, and needless to say £ was spent.
As I'd hoped would happen, a great many of the vintage and classic cars we saw at the Malvern show were new to us, and in this video I feature as many of the cars as possible, prioritising as always the older cars while trying to include a bit of everything to give a broad overview of this popular classic car show, held in the shadow of the Malvern hills in Worcestershire.
Let me know in the comments which of the old cars featured would be your choice. Did I miss anything? Did you have a car or other vehicle on display? Perhaps you were in the autojumble selling old-car parts?
Likes, comments and subs welcomed as always, I'll include a link to last year's Malvern classic car show at the end of this one. It was really neat to say hello to quite a few followers of the Old Classic Car channel too.
Don't forget that channel membership is available, as is merchandise relating to OCC and classic cars in general.

I live almost opposite the Eccleshall show venue but i was unable to attend this year due to holiday.... I also missed the Malpas steam rally!!!
hi great video with one mistake mate the nash metropolitan is clearly a late one with quarter lights and a boot lid but youd had along day so we will excuse one little slip up cheers tony e
Lots of beautiful cars on show here. The pre war Riley Kestrel (??) is my personal favourite.
Wow, this guy is so knowledgeable, thanks to both of you.
Thanks for watching our stuff!!
The best car has got to be inspector maguire and his police wolseley 6/80 dial 999 what a car.
Brilliant vid again rick ,we always look forward to them and harleys.well done.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting the show I really enjoy your videos. The E Type is a series 1 4.2 as I have a 66 OTS. The unofficial 1.5 started in 1967 Cheers Dave
I'm going to say here thank you so much for bringing your videos. I'm checking out other subjects on people's channels. I didn't subscribe , so you won't miss me.
Thanks for supporting what we do on both our channels!
Great event, my car of the show was the Riley Kestrel, followed by the Morris Z Van. All the best Bob
I favour the Morris 1000 as I had one more than 55 years ago and found them easy to work on.I like the 49ish Chev truck too as I had several of them when they were on last legs.CHEERS from Here!!!
Another great video,just after passing my test I drove a Bedford cf 2.3 milk float,it was fun to drive,good for towing back any electric floats that had the battery go flat while out on the rounds,I enjoyed doing that at age 17.
Thank you for posting this , I had planned to go to this show in October but wasn't aware that it had been moved forward
Another great video. Thank you. They really knew how to make great bonnet mascots back in the day.
Before they got outlawed by the safety brigade..............
Favourites: #1 1936 Riley Kestrel 26:14 1:25:28, #2 1951 Jowett Javelin 31:38 1:54:50 and #3 1948 Morris Z Van 3:06 1:19:10 😁👍
Liked the white Ciitroen DS and the yellow Peugeot 304 Cabriolet.
Just had a quick look, but will savour this, in full, on Wednesday, with a "few" glasses of malt..................
Another amazing collection of cars. My favourite would be the Daimler 15 HP and the Austin 16/6. Both very tasty examples.
Agreed they were both great examples of the breed
Cool video! 👊
I always attended that show since it started in 1985, i didn't get any forms this year, it's usually held in October
My favourites (an eclectic mix): the beautiful green & black pre-war Riley, cream and light blue Austin Healey 3000, dark -green Mustang fastback and two-tone blue Wolseley 1500. And all with the lovely backdrop of the Malvern Hills as a bonus!
Agreed, the Riley is proving to be a popular choice in the comments I've read so far
Marquette was the Junior Buick for a few years. Depression ended that...
The Suzuki gt 750 aka Wasserbüffel, 2 stroke 3 Zylinder water cooled engine !!
Some gorgeous stuff on show ....
My step-father had a Marquette tourer here in Australia many years ago. The Marquette was built in 1929/1930 as a companion car to the Buick, just as the La Salle was a companion car to the Cadillac. The Marquette had a side valve engine while the equivalent Buick had an overhead valve engine.
Interesting, thanks Nev, certainly the first one of these I've ever seen
The Ford Transit camper looks like a Dormobile conversion. My family had a VW Dormobile camper in the 1960s, and I think I have seen a Bedford CA Dormobile. Did they convert other makes?
My late niece attended Malvern Girls College but never visited the factory!
Morgan?.....................
Yes.
The NSU Ro 80 has a rotary engine called a Wankel. I've heard it isn't a good engine and was problematic. Correct me if you know. I like the design of them , very stylish for a car that came out in the late 1960s.
I think I mentioned in the video that the engines were not reliable, many people re-engined the cars with regular 4 cylinder engines from other makers
@@oldclassiccarUK Oh, i missed that part i skimmed through the video. Thanks for your videos , I have liked viewing them. I'm just have other interests.
@@oldclassiccarUK I think the Ford V4 engine was a popular substitute......
The material used to seal the chambers from each other were the cause of the problem.. today, with modern material this cause is not an issues anymore .. there is a great RO80 group near Stuttgart which could Help.
@@HP_VDP Thanks for that info. I don't own an NSU. They are a car that i have always liked.
Great video, love the long coverage 🏁 wish there was more old JDM cars at the shows. Old British Ford racy cars are my favorite. 🏁 Escort, Capri etc. Mini Coopers as well! Did you buy the old Buick? I must say going to those classic car shows can be torture because there’s so many for sale at times we want to buy 😅
Hi, there are quite a few JDM-only shows but we don't really look out for them, I prefer the old Brit stuff in the main. No I didn't buy the 1930, tempting as it was.
Hi 👋 Hooray an NSU Ro 80 turned up. I think i said to Harley that I like them and hoped one would turn up at a show.
Went to the Malvern show 35 years ago! Different World almost. Wonder how many there this year were at that one!
I think I first went in about 2004 or thereabouts, certainly a lot busier nowadays
Lovely K reg MK3 Cortina in blue! Love the early ones with the sloping dash! Ford ruined that in 1974! Just ignore that early Mazda 121 - this was a lovely car - nice high driving position and very economical.
A MK2 or Mk3 Zephyr would be my pick.I owned a 1964 MK3 Zephyr 4 back in 1972 .Great car .The Zodiac would be better though.
I really enjoyed this video, so many memories.I remember as a child my Dad's ford conceal classic, mark 4 Zephyr (same colour but a 66) and his mark 2 ford cortina. Thank you so much! 👍🤗🚘
1:14:37 Porcelain green. Regards from Norway
Favourite zephyr 4 mark 3
Love the Post Office ' Z ' type van , based on the 1939 Series E shape.Apart from the unique features you specified , separate shell -type painted headlamps as well , a novel feature over the sloped faired -in saloon type.This was carried over to some very early Morris Minor vans used by the Post Office , also with, ' V ' flat glass windscreen with one overhead wiper only.I assume as the Post Office and Engineering vans specified rubber wings, the only way to mount ' rigid ' lamps !.
At 37:42 Bentley S2 standard steel saloon. (not continental) My favourite car of this show. Great video as always.
I noticed that too - though not sure if it's an S1 or an S2.....?
@@adrianrowland1697If you go to the clip at 1:38:53 where the bonnet is open, I noticed it has the V8 engine, which makes it an S2.
@@JamesHuttonVideo Thanks - I also noticed the bonnet open later, and paused the video, but was unable to identify the engine. Thank you for clarifying.
Is the Morris at 1:14 Porcelain green? Great colour.
Great video. I do like the Rileys and the Kestrel was my favorite. My only complaint about some of the videos you post and I know you can't remedy - those annoying loud speakers seem to be all over the field with constant nonsense spewing forth. Is this a British car show tradition? In any event, keep them coming as many of the cars are rare or not often seen.
Thanks, yes the commentary can be difficult to be around but there's nothing I can do unless I mute the sound completely which isn't really ideal either. It's more noticeable at some shows than others, background music is a much bigger problem for me though!
@@oldclassiccarUK Yes, I agree...Do not mute the sound as your valuable comments are easily understood over the sound of the loudspeakers.
Good one RJ. It has been in the high 20C's here most of the week but the heavens have just opened and brought welcome relief. We have also been plagued by sand from the Sahara for a few days which has been a nightmare for the cars. That Morris Minor actually looks pristine.
Cheers Vince, yes it was super warm here yesterday and we had half of the sahara deposit itself on our cars too. Today was a mixed bag which was one reason we didn't get to any events today.
So much to see ! That 3500S was a '73 car . Sometime during it's life it was fitted with an early bonnet ,grille. That Riley was special !
An excellent video. Your knowledge of cars is remarkable, Harley has a superb tutor. My Uncle had a mk 4 Zephyr in black, it was an ex funeral directors car and was massive. I remember going in it several times with three adults in the front and six kids in the back (no seatbelts of course).
Are you clearing a space in the garage for the Marquette?
The Marquette was very tempting but probably isn't for me right now
What's the colour called of the green Stag at 52:40?
Java Green......................
@@richardsealey3626 Thanks. Lovely colour.
@@robbrady4649 Triumph had some very good colours in their range in the 1970's
The nsu wankel my boss had one and the engine was a useless oil burner was replaced twice eventually moved it on
FYI, I couldn't find M.C Weager Herefordshire sign writers on a Google search
Seems like they call themselves Signature 86 Ltd ...
That blue Mini with the wind up windows and quarterlights may be Australian built. All the Aussie Minis had quarterlight windows and outside hinges were still on them when the UK went to internal ones. Marquette was introduced as a "junior" Buick and used Buick 6 mechanicals. Marquette to Buick is like what La Salle was to Cadillac.
At 1:08:08, did you notice the names of the drivers on the window of that Ford? Your lad hasn't been moonlighting, has he? 😀 He's also changed his nationality to throw you off the scent!
Ha neither of us spotted that, how bad are we!??!! He does have a bit of Welsh blood in him as it happens
It's incredible to me how uncooth these people are. What is a `classic car ? To mean anything we need a definition. One is provided by the Classic Car Club of America. By their definition, few of these qualify. Most of these cars are cheap junk;
Uncouth!?!?? That's a bit strong (note correct spelling). The definition you refer to is the definition of just one club (in the CCCA case 1915-1948), any club can cater for any era or type of vehicle they want, so I'm not sure that one club's definition means anything beyond the boundaries of that club. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the video.
My point was that it's a definition. So if these cars don't fit in there. Where do they fit ? Let me suggest. For the people in this video, a classic car is whatever they like. In these cases, it's a cheap, ugly, poorly made and designed piece of garbage.@@oldclassiccarUK
Hello, I am seeking some assistance. I've been curious for years about an old photo of one of my grandads old cars. After viewing many, many of your posts (Very enjoyable, thank you.) I suddenly had a thought. You seem to have access to some source of register with regard to identifying vehicles through the reg. number. After several, naive, ignorant, basic atttempts at identifying the area, year, model of the car, Sunbeam Rapier reg. No. 118 MTJ, I was watching one of your posts and you were naming some really obscure cars, areas of registration and areas relevant to the reg. No. from even the early 1900's. Hitherto, I would very much appreciate if you could inform me the details of my grandads car. Thank you in advance.
Hi, assuming that registration was original to the car, and not a replacement, it would suggest a registration date of early 1960, Lancashire area I believe.
Thank you for your speedy and couteous reply. I shall soon find myself in a position to purchase a classic car. My hope was to obtain the same model as my grandad. The Rapier was the first car of his I have any memory of in, circa, 1967/8. My problem is I know it was either a mk 111 or a mk111A. Unfortunately thar is as far as I can find out as, aesthetically, they were identical, however, there were quite a few changes mechanically. Ideally, I would like the exact same model, there lies the rub. D.V.L.A., for some reason, have no record on file of the vehicle which seems strange as they have many records of cars much older. Is there such a thing as a Rootes group register of cars for instance ? Thank you once again. Kind regards.
P.S. Well spotted. 1959-63 models mk111 and 111A and outside no. 8 Clarendon Road Morecambe Lancashire, where my grandparents had a traditional seaside boarding house, was where the car was parked when I first saw it. Kind regards.
@@jameswalkden7499 If the car was scrapped years ago, it will have dropped off DVLA. If it was scrapped before DVLA was set up in the early 1980s, it'll never have been on their system. Chances are it was scrapped a long time ago as they rusted badly. There is a Rootes Group archive of old documents but I don't know if this extends to registration records. Good Rapiers are few and far between now so you'll probably need to buy on condition rather than being an exact match for your search.
After an extensive search I believe this vehicle was scrapped many years ago.......
