I'm so glad you've put this on the internet - it's a most as good ad being there - which a lot of us haven't always got time to do!

I was the bloke on the vespa, gin in one fuel can and tonic in the other. It was a great day out and good to meet you both.

I'll say it again, these walkabouts at events are SUCH a joy to watch. The greenyellow Bedford van looked 🔥

My grandfather owned a blue Armstrong siddeley hurricane we used to travel all over to car shows in it. The Pre-select gear box always amazed me.

What an amazing event, I could have spent all day over there 👌🏼😀

I wouldn't mind been there with a wheelbarrow loads of cash.

The Scammel brought back memories, my father drove one, he was having problems with parking it in the street. In his wisdom, he thought that he would take the house fence down, then park the lorry along the side of the house. This worked well for a bit until their was weeks of torrential rain. One evening he parked as usual, but during the night we were all awakened by the side of the house collapsing, the lorry had sunk, undermining the foundations of the house. Needless to say he lost his job, and was in trouble with the local council who owned the house. (long story) I ended up living with my Aunt for over a year before we could move back home. Oh the memories.

Fantastic show, and a great report. Time for the usual game of "which one do I want to take home?" And it's tricky.... but I think I'd have to go for one of the small steam traction engines.

What a fantastic show great coverage we'll done❤

Thank you to you both for so many memories of cars that been in the family or I have owned.

Brilliant video and a great show. What a great selection of great classics. Loved the symphony of engines. Ms HubNut doing a great job with the camera. Fantastic.

Hey Ian and Carly! As i recall, it was called a Patriotic Pedestrian Slicer!

What a cracker of a show! Shame I am not closer as that is the sort of thing I would love, especially the stationary engines - and that Leopard was divine! Also superb in Plaxton Paramount body...

Absaloutly brilliant video Ian miss hubnut mini hubnut ❤❤👍 absaloutly fantastic line of classic cars you just don't see any more brilliant

Very enjoyable

That Forward Control 101 v8 sounded beautiful ❤️

Very Yes!

To be honest, Edinburgh to London (and/or vice versa) in the Raleigh would be an adventure for sure.

1979 LEYLAND LEOPARD with Duple Dominant 2 53 seat bodywork....started on Leopards and Tigers 33 years ago , proper coaches been all over europe in Leoaprds and Tigers , followed by bova Futuras....happy days , semi retired now .

Loving the 1980's pink shorts Ian! 😜

My father had a Scammel 8 wheeler tipper while I was growing up. Didn't realise how iconic the design was until it was sold on at 15+ years old. Glad to see there are still a few still on the road 35 years later.😊😊😊

Got a tip off that you had found my cars at this show and so you did. Volvo V70, and a P38.

The pink panther makes a come back😂

Remarkable knowledge Ian, and a great video

Great video Ian & Carly. Lovely old motors Ford Anglia 105 probably the first car I ever drove.

What a fantastic video well done that was really enjoyable 👌👌👌

Excellent show with a wide array of vehicles.really enjoyed it thanks Ian and Carly

The Lawil van is obviously made to look like Postman Pat's van hence the Royal Mail livery and size and shape.

Great selection of classics! Love the romanian UTB Universal ! Thank you for the video!

That scammel got a Gardener 180 engine in it.... A friend would have a have a wet dream over that ERF 🤣🤣

Great show 😃👌👌👌👌

15:31 A mate from work used to commute in his Bedford CF camper, across the Humber Bridge. One very windy day the concertina roof popped open! He managed to get it stopped OK.

another great video has always Ian and miss hubnut and hublets and hubmutts 👍

Superb display of vehicles, including all my favourite tractors. That sleek David Brown may well have been an RAF job for towing bombs. They were more typically used for industrial rather than agricultural applications.

What a great show

Very enjoyable video, thank you 🙏

Miss Hubnut's camera work is excellent in this. :)

I think every boy has been obsessed by the Lotus Carlton. I was in the early 90’s.

Really enjoy your show reports, great stuff. Love the ERF 8 legger, reminds me of my childhood as a passenger in my Father's 8 wheel Foden of that era, thanks for adding the old bike section too. 👍

Quite spooky, my grandpa used to tow his Morgan 3 wheeler racecar behind his Darracq.

The reason the Lawil Willam Lambretta S3 van has Royal Mail livery is because people have always likened them to Postman Pat's van, which was also red!

@HubNut

Жыл бұрын

For some reason, I just didn't make that connection! Probably because my brain knew Postman Pat's van had a different wiper layout...

love that red and white Bedford van, like to find one here in the u.s.

As I remember from 60 years ago, my dad had one of those Thames vans as a service van. It would often select 2 gears at the same time when stationary. He kept a large screwdriver in the cab so he could hop out at the lights , duck underneath and free it up!

Those stationary engines all have their own splendidly aural personalities; love it!

Oh no, knees alert. Fascinating vid Ian, seeing the old cars we didn't get in Australia , love the stationary engines could watch them all day.😊

Excellent video. This event reminds me of our village vintage show. Many thanks for recording the motorcycles too. The more "Hubnut" small bikes and mopeds are my personal favourites. The Standard Ensign looked ex army. These were sold off and often carry registration plates with letter suffixes before age relating began. I believe they were quite cheap and impeccably maintained so were good bangernomics cars.

Excellent review as always.

I really liked the red CA Bedford. It took me right back to my childhood as we owned several over the years as there weren't many vehicles around for a family of 6. Thanks, Ian.

Nice one Ian. I was nice to see the Maxi, I think that one is a 1500 as the grill badge is silver, the 1750 had like a yellow checker badge and the 1750 HL had red instead of yellow if I recall correctly. My dad had an 1972/3 on an 'L' plate, those vinyl seats could burn you in the summer back then. I remember they were big inside but then again I was a lot smaller back then. The Spitfire 1500 looked great, my brother had one on a 'T' plate if I recall back in the 80's. My favourite car of the day would be the MKII Cortina 1600GT in white. That coach brought back memories of late school trips, I still remember the upholstery. I don't remember the Fresnel lens on the rear window though. The commercial Scammel looked fantastic, I didn't realise Michelotti was involved.

Great to see a Triumph 1300. My dad had one of these….1969 car in Valencia Blue. Starter motor tended to jam, remedied by rocking the car while in gear….lol! Lovely wood trim and was well appointed for the time. Even had handbrake warning light and low fuel light in round warning cluster! Great video!

Thanks for an interesting video. When I lived in the Cardigan area from 88 to 2000 before heading to Canada, I remember the Lewis busses and the Mansel Davies company trucks. The trucks hauled grain from our farm out by Aberporth and we'd see them most times we left the area traveling motorways . My bus route at Cardigan school until 1990 was actually with TM Daniels from Cardigan and the driver was Cliff. I wonder if any of their old busses are still around in preservation ? Something tells me that custom bike with the spider webs is quite old. I think I've seen it back in the day when they used to have the big show at Penparc on the fields they used for Cardigan agricultural fair, before it moved to the other side of Cardigan. There is a lot of things in that area I wouldn't even recognize from when I was involved in showing and visiting shows. I'm surprised by the old Escorts still around I thought most of them got smashed as rally cars in that area when I was younger. It's great to see so many still getting involved in the hobby and keeping it going. Take care

Glan Llyn gets a mention!. 👍 Da iawn Miss HubNut.

Ah Mansel Davies, thats a name from my past. They used to pick up from the animal feed mill I worked at in Tetbury in the early 90's

every time I see a Jaguar E-Type, I am reminded of a news article where they compared the old E-Type and the re-imagined "Growler".. and then a German guy commented he prefers a VW Passat CC... and that was the day I knew humanity is a lost cause...

Unusual only one bus. Great to see some bikes and tractors. Back in the 80,s some tractors were designed with road gears or a 40k box, meaning it would do 40kph on the road, might be worth looking at one as a future purchase? Great video guys, nice and varied.

As always, your knowledge of obscure cars and their various minutiae still catches me out. For all that, I think the highlight is 28:48 --> that's what I call a proper coach - Leyland Leopard, pneumocyclic box. BTW the cab on the Scammell (Michelotti-designed as you point out) was GRP, which is why they didn't rust, and the ERF is an A series that came as a tractor unit or several rigid types. Thanks again Ian.

Wow Ian, those pink shorts just go so well with a sixties Morris 1000 in light blue! True style icon 😂😉👍😎 On our annual hipster motorcycle festival over here we used to have slow race too - on motorcycle! Usually won by an MZ 250 ES Trophy (not mine)

377 bhp and 419 torques if the 14 year old in me can remember when they first came out.

I am guessing your talking about the Carlton with them figures. My parents friend had one, my step dad had a bmw 325i from the same Era highly tuned. Dtm worked. And their other friend had a modded xr2i amd another lad they knew had a Astra with a 280bhp calibra turbo lump in it. I have so many fond memories of being in the bmw and them all racing around the cornish country side. And up and down the dual carriage ways! I can still hear the tires spinning and smell the smoke. 20+ years on. Such good times! ❤

Looks like a joyous event! So very much hoping to finally get my DAF33 to the Haddenham steam rally in September. Been a long time coming!

Thanks for the mention of my series 2A land rover, it was in Cardigan the day before if it's the same one you seen 🙂

The Leyland coach, they were still using them (with different coachbuild bodies) for us with our school buses, Roberts of Wingate I think they are (and too still going), the seats I remember being quite smelly, the noxious scent of degrading foam, and if you slapped the seats, they emitted a huge cloud of said foam dust, perfect for young lungs to ingest... :P

Postman Pat had one of those red Lambretta vans, hence the 'Royal Mail' sign on the back. 😉

That's a good and valid point.

Much as I love classic cars, stationary engines are where I linger at any country show. Rustons and Listers coughing and spluttering their way through some mundane but necessary chore, are a delight.

A video featuring every car I know my dad has owned up to his first Fiesta in about 1982. A30, Anglia, Cortina Mk2, Triumph 1300, Viva, Avenger and finally a Fiesta Mk1. It then went boring as he decided to be a driving instructor and had every type of Fiesta from Mk2 to mk6 before he retired. Of course as soon as he retired he bought a Jazz and is on his second! Also interesting to see Llangranog, my wife's Welsh and it was a rite of passage. She was watching a programme about it on S4C last night, half expecting to see herself on some of the 1970s and 80s films.

just amazing Ian you really do know your vehicles. on a side note i thought the grass was super lushes color of green anyone would think you were in wales or something 😁

I really enjoy these show videos in which you wander about and give us unscripted continuous commentary. It's lovely to partake in your kid in a candy store vibe. I was momentarily distracted when you said "Firefly", so I thought what's a Pontiac Firefly doing lost in the UK ? I had to go back to check this. Was not disappointed that it was the name someone gave their Beetle. The terrifying orange contraption looks like the agricultural mower on which eleven year-old me got to ride with my friend and his grandfather while spending the summer with my relatives in Italy. It's been over 50 years so I don't remember too many details of that ride, but I do remember the sound and I'm pretty sure it was a big single-cylinder engine. Oh, and it *was* terrifying with three of us bouncing around (no suspension) on a farm implement designed with only one rider in mind and sharp blades very close by. Btw, thank you for the taking the time to film the two-wheelers.

This is a great little show. I will say though Hubnut disease does catch on. I was a Le Mans over the weekend and on the Gendarmerie stand they had on display a new Alpine sports car in their police livery and one of their old Renault 21 turbo police cars, you can't guess which one was the more exciting one to see. Also seen few other interesting old vehicles still being used in France. Also congrats to the to the guys who got both a Rover P4 and P6 to Le Mans.

Breaking this into two parts over my lunch break. I was never a fan of the mark 3 escort but what a lovely example parked next to that mark 2. Lovely little Berlingo Romahone. Loved how you glossed over the Corvette for the Bedford CF...😂😂 I would be the same.

The mark 3 Escort was one of the best car designs ever, IMO.

In the coach, there is one of those sort of magnifying lenses in the rear window. I've just remembered I had one of these lenses in my (type 34) Razor Edge Karmann - Ghia . I was never quite sure if it WAS a good thing or not!

Absolutely fantastic! Please may I recommend the Anglesey Vintage Rally. This one was 2012! Great start to a vintage transport holiday. I was based in Bangor.

Great video Mr HubNut, idea for a future video seeing the steam engines on this - traction engine👍😎

The coach had a Duple Dominant Mk 2 body, oh to be a pedant....they can't touch you for it!

24:57 a look around many a rural cemetery will find numbers of youngish men in them from the 1920s onwards that were killed in farming accidents. My parent's house previously belonged to the widow of one such person: she inherited it when her parents (who built the place) passed away.

My younger brother had a Toyota MR2 Mark1 in white. I only drove it twice but it scared the living daylights out of me. I'm only small and was used to driving an early Renault 5 (with the dashboard gear change), a totally different take on cars.

48:20 Fiesta mk.3 indeed came out April 1989. Got mine on launch day.

What a nice event! I went cycling today. Lake Constance tour with my Brompton folding bike in British Racing Green. I did see an Aixam Truck (HubNut road test) and a VW Passat estate with right hand drive and a German number plate. Weird…
