Great video. Chamberlain Tractors were built in Western Australia. In 1955, one was entered in the Redex Trail. It was called Tail End Charlie. It had a special highway diff ratio fitted.
That yellow Model “A”, is about the same color as my 2005 Chevy Colorado X-TREME. [ now 20 years old]. Great show - ie, it would have been. Too bad people were leaving as fast as they came. It would have been a Huge event. Lots of great cars, and trucks. Can’t imagine driving that big Kenworth around those little narrow streets.😬🤣. 🚗🙂
High anxiety for some of the older manuals in that bottleneck. Bumper to bumper clutch in/out hundreds of times can make them quite grumpy. Looks like the organizers were inundated by the huge turn out.
The Wolseley 444 is the same colour as one owned by a family friend many years ago. She inherited it from her Father and I remember riding up front on many occasions such a lovely car. Far too many cars to mention but the Foden must be one of the lorries as also the old Bedford. Great video Rick thank you. 👍👍
Interesting event, nice to see some unusual/older vehicles mixing it with the more recent or familiar. Your mention of the new Capri got me wondering when we'll start to see performance ev's at meetings as they usurp ice performance cars and presumably are regarded as classics.
Hi love all your vlogs was just watching a channel I love called curiosity incorporated and his latest video is car show, you must have a look there are cars you’ve never seen , well I’ve never seen hope you enjoy
Hi, thanks for calling in, I'd have featured more of you in action but YT can be a bit funny about videos containing "identifiable" songs in videos so I often have to mute or chop out longer clips of music playing, unfortunately!
I used to have an early Renault 5. with the dashboard gearchange. It was a great car to drive and I loved it. Unfortunately it succumbed to rust, as did almost all of them. Probably my favourite car of all the ones that I have owned.

My clutch master cylinder went in the queue on the way in 😭. Shame as I was looking forward to this one. Nice to see the cars leaving at least. Not sure why people were leaving so early, according to the FB group the queues were particularly bad.
I love your videos, website is brilliant too. Do you have a calendar of all the future events you will attend, I wish I knew about some of the events you attend.
Thanks James, no real calendar I just keep a very close eye on Facebook (events) as a lot of the meets pop up on there. Definitely worth keeping an eye on there. Otherwise it's word of mouth and remembering events from previous years. VSCC Prescott isn't far away, same for Combermere meeting etc.
The song “Sweet Home Alabama” was a direct answer to Neal Young’s song, “Southern Man”. [ Thus the line, “ I hope Neal Young will remember, a Southern Man don’t need him around anyhow “]. 🚗🙂
Trying to hold my comments as I watch the video, but the "Mickey Mouse" Foden is a winner. The 1928 Model A is nothing like we see here in the US as far as the RHD and body design goes. I assume it was a British build?
Ford Britain produced Model As, in Manchester & last ones at the new big Dagenham plant. There was a range of models available, some had US bodywork. A lot of production was exported to Europe [as lhd] & the cars sold poorly in Britain but the commercials did very well. The horsepower tax laws in Britain were designed to make American cars more expensive than British cars & this happened to Ford until the 1932 Model Y 8hp. The one in this vid appears like a modern 'speedster type & not one with custom British bodywork from the era. It has the early fender lamps required by British road laws, so probably 1928 but the car is what may be a bitsa like most put together now are. Most Model As in Britain today are imports ,lhd from all over but mostly US.

Viewing and listening with interest from westcoast Canada! CHEERS from Here!

Ha yes I was pondering the Renault's clutch a little on the way out!
The model A is a British built Phaeton. It was re-bodied from the scuttle back circa 2000 to compete in VSCC trails, which it still does.
Good stuff! Thanks for the info
Fantastic turn out nice variety cheers atb
great video, what a turn out of cars, rhey just kept coming

Interesting and varied meet but surprising so many people left early.
Yes it was unusual, I did wonder if the imminent damp weather curtailed a few visits
never heard of this show will try to make it next year massive selection brilliant
It's been going a while this one, held in different places over the years, keep an eye on the WMC Facebook page for info next year
Hi there. I picked up my 1998 S90 volvo this morning. Drives like a dream

Thanks for the video. The band was Rocketstate and we really enjoyed playing for everyone. Hope to see you again soon

No worries about the clip. We understand about the “rules” and after all it was a CAR show
ANYTHING GOES loving the variety 👍👍👍
I had a Grifter, not so good for wheelies but great for going down flights of concrete steps...
Thanks, yes a bit different to the normal shows we get to

Amazing turnout.

It was probably a good job that some cars did leave quite soon, otherwise it'd have been really rammed in
Pretty hectic Richard ! As you suggested , anything goes ! Something tells me a Wolseley 4/40 could be on the cards 😅
My clutch master cylinder went in the queue on the way in 😭. Shame as I was looking forward to this one. Nice to see the cars leaving at least. Not sure why people were leaving so early, according to the FB group the queues were particularly bad.
Sorry to hear that, I think the threat of rain in the area may have sped up some people's desire to leave early, not sure!
like 21 !
That spectacular Chevy pickup is a 1940, but you are forgiven. 🙂
Indeed (didn't I add a little note to the screen at that point?), thanks for watching
@@oldclassiccarUK I may have missed that as I was looking at the truck. It was so nicely done.

Ah I see, new information!
How do I upload photos to you???
Easiest is to email scans to rj@oldclassiccar.co.uk, thanks

I'm not sure where the Model A was bodied, it's not like most of those that we tend to see either
