Thank you so much for a great tour video and taking the time even when the marques are not for you. Completely agree the Porsche was in a wonderful colour - a keeper if I should be so lucky!! Much looking forward to seeing more.
Great walk around video again Alex we managed to do all the halls this year thanks to my brother it was good to bump into you on the Sunday by the Rover stand and have a chat for 5 mins look forward to seeing the latest videos , Cheers Paul & Alexander .
Hello Alex. Nice to see you start with "snacks'. Excellent Video The stretched 75 was very popular in China when I lived there, they called it the Roewe 750. I owned 2 Rover 75's as company cars from new and I loved them. Some beautiful cars there, real stunners.
Great video and content as always. Really enjoyed this especially as I’ve not been able to attend this year, however I will be next year. All the best 👍💪
SD3 VP😍 I'm not normally into BMW but I do like that 8 series and though I've seen many with a telephone I've never seen on colour coordinated before. So very much of its time which is what I live about it The Mercedes R129 SL is also much of its time but they looked so modern at the time and have aged beautifully. They say the V12 versions are one of the finest engines ever made though I doubt I'll ever find out for myself. 😅
I've had a problem for some reason, for years, where I often can't sleep till 4 AM! Today, I COULD sleep esrlier - but, instead, I've woken up at 4AM! So I checked what's come up on my phone - and come up with your Show video! Yay! Cup of tea while I'm watching it, and some chocolates!. I can't dash about EVERYWHERE, but now I've got to see this show, if only on video! Your videos have made themselves essential to me by now! I'm delighted you went to the Allegro stand. I last had my Allegro 20 years ago, but it was still one of my favourite ever cars! Lovely shape in my opinion, and so recogniseable, unlike today's cars! I am also a fan of the PRINCESS range - and was intrigued to see the baby HONDA range! The white one was my first car. The (nice orange) one, by the way, is called the Z COUPE. And I still adire the white Toyota you said had nice lights on the top of the bonnet, and wrap round the corner! I once saw an estate version. All the versions were so obviously classy cars! They've now brought a new version (perhaps only available in America?) I saw on the internet, and that has the same classiness! The model now, as then, is called the CROWN. The only thing I didn't agree with myself, is your dislike of the MG 6 - which is actually one of my favourites! A bit like a miniature BMW. But they do seem to be a bit of a "marmite" car that divides people. You either love or hate them!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 🥰 . Sorry about the MG6. A little too modern for me and my friend had so much trouble with their diesel version it made me dislike it even more 😅
@@Alexsassets okay! Trouble with the DIESEL MG6? fair enough that you don't like it then! HOWEVER, although the ELECTRIC MG's do sound good - there was really a horror story that happened recently, concerning the MG that got to number 1 in the sales chart, recently the MG5! A man had it on CRUISE CONTROL, (something I never liked the thought of anyway, in case it got stuck!) This car's cruise control didn't go wrong, BUT , the ENGINE wouldn't stop - aided and abetted by the braking system! The brakes DIDN'T work , either! On electric cars, they " harvest" electricity(to help power the engine), when friction is caused by using the brakes. So the engine wouldn't stop, and the connected brakes weren't getting electronic messages to stop! The driver had his mobile phone, and called the police to come and stop the car! But how he asked them to do it was HORRENDOUS! The police put a car in a ditch by the road , and rammed his car off the road onto the first car - at HIS request! So I wouldn't have an ELECTRIC car, if it was an MG!
@@Alexsassets oh, dear! The MG4 likes to lock people in! Can you imagine if BOTH things went wrong , and someone got locked in to their MG, and ALSO, like on the ELECTRIC MG 5, the engine wouldn't stop when it was on CRUISE CONTROL! AND ALSO, as I explained, that car's BRAKES failed - so the owner had to use his mobile phone, and ring the police to stop the car - by ramming his car OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH! You wouldn't even get someone out of a car even if it HAD stopped! . I just think the present , Chinese owned MG car company is not experienced enough to be up the task of making anything ELECTRICAL. In some ways China is not as developed as we'd assumed! I'm writing this sitting on my just 3 years old Chinese made dining chair - which is so tatty I'm going to have to take it to be re-upholstered. The vinyl seat has not lasted, and I'd thought vinyl otherwise was tough and everlasting. But China is still in some ways an under developed country.
Great footage Alex , I tried to get to say hello on the Saturday , you no the saying needle in a haystack , it was so busy , we were managing the land rover series 2a stand ,
Looks like you only went round 1 hall - there was loads more Rover related stuff down the stairs! Hope you enjoyed the show, it's getting expensive but I still enjoyed it.
have you seen that one of the two Retropower project Allegro / Integra cars is Russet Brown ? And Jonny Smith's is that greeny yellowy Sandglow Gold...@@Alexsassets
I like it when the windows are open on cars at the show too but I wouldn't do it with my own car, sadly last time we showed two vehicles one had its badge pulled off the back and the other had the center of the steering wheel stolen
Yeah and whoever did it came prepared as they removed the badge with a screwdriver, you could seen the dent in the paint where they did it and then the steering wheel center got stolen the next day!@@Alexsassets
I am so sorry! There was just tooo much to see 🥲 . I did walk through the fords a bit on the Sunday morning with my camera. I had to find the Mk3 cortina estate for my friend Simone x
Fabulous Alex I really enjoyed this. The Porsche red- absolutely beautiful.
You were having a great time! Thanks for the tour.
Great entertainment, brilliant show of cars. Hope you both enjoyed.
It was exhausting! But a great weekend yes 🥰
Thank you so much for a great tour video and taking the time even when the marques are not for you. Completely agree the Porsche was in a wonderful colour - a keeper if I should be so lucky!!
Much looking forward to seeing more.
Very well done as usual Alex take care. ⭐⭐⭐
Only three stars..... 🥺 😆

Awww yes it was madness... i spent most of Saturday with the Rovers in hall 5. X
Looks like you only went round 1 hall - there was loads more Rover related stuff down the stairs! Hope you enjoyed the show, it's getting expensive but I still enjoyed it.
Ahh but this was just Friday! Saturday's video coming soon 🥰 I spent all day in Hall 5 Saturday lol
@@Alexsassets ah - look forward to seeing it!
10k views....nice one AA 👍
Thank you! I can't believe so many have watched it 🥰
Yes that nice Maxi WAS in Leyland Russet Brown… just like Ivan the Ital. And my old Dolomite 1850 HL…
I really like russet brown when it's all polished up
have you seen that one of the two Retropower project Allegro / Integra cars is Russet Brown ? And Jonny Smith's is that greeny yellowy Sandglow Gold...@@Alexsassets
So sad that I wasn't able to make it to the event.
Make sure you come next year 🥰 or come to the restoration show 😍
I really need to do this over two days to much of a rush on the one day
Definitely! I did 3 days. Sunday was a bit of a downer in places. People just had enough by the end of it. Fri and Sat were the hyper fun days x
I like it when the windows are open on cars at the show too but I wouldn't do it with my own car, sadly last time we showed two vehicles one had its badge pulled off the back and the other had the center of the steering wheel stolen
😞 that's awful
Yeah and whoever did it came prepared as they removed the badge with a screwdriver, you could seen the dent in the paint where they did it and then the steering wheel center got stolen the next day!@@Alexsassets
@thedeadstig123 what car was it ? Bastards!
It was on reliant owners club stand, we had a stand in the corner against the wall and thats how they managed to do it without been seen@@Alexsassets
Cant resist the stalls myself but id say stuff was pricy there...😮
Always is. I guess the stalls cost a bomb . A few bargains to be had too
You skipped the Ford’s, that’s a real shame😳😟
I am so sorry! There was just tooo much to see 🥲 .
I did walk through the fords a bit on the Sunday morning with my camera. I had to find the Mk3 cortina estate for my friend Simone x
Skipping the Fords 😡
😅😅 I'm sorry 😢 just too much to see 😅 . I did walk through there on Sunday morning briefly with the camera 📷
