Hubnut at his absolute best. Love these videos. Such great variety.

Awesome video of the show, you both did a fantastic job on creating a lasting memory of a fantastic day, even capturing my Vanden Plas 1500 entering the show. Thanks for coming along.👍

Thanks for saying hello!

Ian these are the best type of HubbyNut vids 👍 plus it’s a long timed 🎉😃🏁🏁🏁

Ian, There is fascinating book about Frank Costin "Flying on Four Wheels" - it contains a section about this car - described as the Ultimate Low Drag Vehicle. Lovely to see it in life!

Hi Mr & Miss Hubnut, thank you for showing my humble Escort TD some love! It’s a new addition to my little fleet, and this show was its first day out! You’re welcome to review it for the channel. Many thanks 👍

Thank you! ian@hubnut.org please

That beach buggy with the massive rims must feel every pothole going!

Triumph Stags had a great weekend, there were loads of them at Coventry MotoFest.

Nice eclectic mix especially the Costain. Motorsports definitely ran in the Costain blood as it was Frank Costain’s brother Mike who teamed up with Keith Duckworth to form the legendary engine builders Cosworth.

What a great car show, with a truly wonderful range of classics on show. A real treat, thank you for this Ian & Carly. Loved hearing the different engines running and seeing the cars driving.

Sensory overload! Thank you, splendid episode.

Beautiful Dino probably most valuable car there 😍

Absolutely brilliant video Ian miss hubnut ❤👍absolutely spectacular classic cars brilliant

Great show and great report. This show is one of the best of the year in South West Wales, well worth travelling for with so much to see and such a friendly atmosphere. Once you're done with the cars, there's a car boot and auto jumble to look around a buy stuff you'll get in trouble for later!

Fabulous presentation and narration as always. Your coverage of car shows is probably the "Carlsberg" of the classics.

Penscynor was a favorite of mine as a kid, my nan lived a few miles away in Skewen, many a happy memories of going down the toboggan. I will now be sourcing some stickers for my Classic Saab 900 and my Mini project

A purple Marina and a brown Allegro coming in at the same time. Be still, my beating heart!

I remember an uncle of mine buying a purple Marina: WVE 282L.

Great show! Thanks for sharing!

Just found you on KZread. You and your wife are a pleasure to watch. So funny. You brighten my day.

Wow what a great turnout and wow a Costin too. Frank Costin was a pioneer in the art of using plywood as a structural material to build cars such as the early Marcos cars and the Costin Nathan GT. Just wow. Also hats off to the restorer he's done an amazing job on an unbelievably rare car. Id have equally been as geek ridden as you were Ian as those cars are just not seen. its like the time I saw a Lancia 037 or a Matra Murena, rare as hens teeth in the UK. such a great video thanks for great content as always from you both and thanks for sharing

Lovely video Got to say the maestro was for me a totally underrated car, I owned one for a while and was sad to see it go

Excellent thank you.... fantastic show 👍

Thank you both flra great video! The Costin was fascinating & I had no idea this was the inspiration for Friends homebuild...like you I saw his vehicle when a youngster...it regularly got a mention in kit car magazine show reports.

A nice car show. I had never heard of this Costin before, as you can see, always a surprise.

Great show report, some real rare cars there. Best wishes.

Thanks Ian & Carly for taking us to another amazing car show! So nice to see all these different brands togheter! 🫶👍🏻👍🏻🆙

Perfect registration plate on that Boxster that passed you at the museum entrance!

Fantastic Ian keep up the good work.

I Friend Wood and his Tryane 2 back in the 90s, I think it was at a 2CV World Meeting. Great to see him again.

Thanks both for your hard work with this one. Love the knowledge you’re sharing. Some cracking cars there. 😊

That car is clearly Bluebird K7 😉

Thanks Ian & Carly another great video. Some lovely cars on view, Gilberns, Karman Ghias. Lovely

Costins were built in Cwm y Glo, near Caernarfon. A common scene in the area years ago. Note the Caernarfon number plate

Quite simply superb 👌🏻

Some of the rather vintage engines do sound very smooth and sweet, but then they were build with much heavier materials so there's a lot of well-balanced mass to keep them smooth... :)

some lovely motors there HubNuts and good to see the Triumph Snag owners out in force again.

Great content, as always. Always something I've never seen before.

Nice to see so many local registrations.

Loved it great vid!

Great video and lovely to chat with you both in the premiere 😃

Please pass on to Miss HubNut that I too went to the now-defunct Penscynor Wild Life Park! A few times, in fact. First time was when I was about five year old on a school trip. Then a few visits later on where I was old enough to ride the bobsled. They also had a few motorised ride-on vehicles, also for children. And an attraction where you could control radio controlled cars. I know there were animals there too, but nearly every memory of that park is of it's vehicle-based attractions! lol

Awesome show, thanks for sharing. Miss Hubnut is looking really lovely too.😊👍

A superb video and a great show

That's a good show, and I'll comment on a few. The early VW Kombis, when I was growing up in the 60's, were oft referred to as Hitler's revenge, as they were rather terrible in the first place, and became more so as they wore out. That's pretty funny considering what they are worth now! On the TR4A, one good thing about them is that their popularity makes Vanguard ownership a whole lot more viable, as many parts being remanufactured for TR2/3/4 are perfectly compatible with Vanguards. You picked the 49 Ford in the end. This is the full sized American Ford - their first truly postwar design and their first to have independent front suspension. On Armstrong Siddeleys being named after aircraft, there are exceptions, these being the 2 models of ute they produced based on the Hurricane. They were the Station Coupe and the Utility Coupe, the Station Coupe being a twin cab. They were made in the UK, with most but not all going to Australia. I'm afraid that I always thought the Hurricane's styling a bit unfortunate. Cheers.

And while we are on the subject of Armstrong Siddeleys we should not forget the post war Sapphire range (346 and Star both large and elegant, while the 234 and 236 were much smaller and blessed with less elegant coachwork but both had excellent performance and handling for their era) which were named after the Sapphire jet engines, also made by Armstrong Siddeley.

That Rover 75 Coupé is just gorgeous, and still looks like a contemporary car. I would have one in a heartbeat if they had been on general sale.

The 69 capri was purchased tax free in Germany because i was in the RAF. Picked it up from the port with 7 miles on the clock. When i left Germany i had to register in UK, thats why its got a K plate

Thanks John. Great to see it again. Thanks for clearing up the mystery!

I read about Friend Wood’s car the Tyrane ii when I was a young ‘un too. As I recall it has some 2cv running gear including the motor, tops 100mph and returns well over 100mpg. You should do a film on it. It’s even more interesting than the Costin in my opinion!

i read about it when i was slightly older than you. the Tryane was i think Dyane based. to me it has something of the Lotus 11 with Marcos and Lotus Elite

Nice show Ian. I wish they have classic cars like these in South Korea.

Nice 😊

at around @15:00 i got a little concerned as i pictured a HubNut special as he wanders off down the motorway filming all the cars

wow someone else who knows about Friend Wood and the Tryane.....awesome

Good seeing that Mk6 Escort I dad had one in pepper red 5 door S plate not sure what spec but had a badge on the back doors with Halewood in old Ford writing

Ian, that premiere of the show was, to quote your good self, “Lurvely.” So many beautiful cars. I think that should be a new piece of merchandise… you surveying a field of classics with the caption “Lurvely.” 🙂

In Australia the Ford Custom 49 was referred to as a 'Single Spinner' and it replacement was a 'Twin Spinner'. My Dad had a 53 Ford Customline V8 (anniversary model)which had been a police car ans was good for 100mph in an era when few id.

A really really excellent video great variety of vehicles on show well done 👍👍👍

Some lovely Oily Rags 😥

Can't remember the last time I saw a Mitsubishi FTO on the road - or Indeed a Penscynor sticker!

A great show report, a great variety of cars on display, have to agree with Miss Hubnut the Mark 6 Escort LX Turbodiesel really appealed. I wonder why 🤔 still miss mine.

Loved that Cortina Crusader. Someone should remanufacture those rear window flashes. You get get them for everything at the time!

AY UP MR HUBNUT

1600GT badges were factory spec. on Mexico's with the factory stripe pack, cars with coachlines had México badges.

I assume the Costin is one of the very few cars that could fail MOT due to excessive woodworm.

Beautiful MkII Zephyr at the beginning - the most rock 'n' roll classic imaginable (at least in the UK.)

Hope that the purple Morris Marina is piano-proofed 😂😂😂

Although the Gilbern Invader was a very low production car exhausts were easy... a friend had one & you simply put two cheap as chips 1600 Ford Escort mk2 systems onto it... one for each side of the 3L v6.

2:38 that must be a quite rare car nowadays. 4:12 it's a 21 window Samba... quite expensive

The car of the show for me is the Costin.

"Maestro in sort-of gold" (15:40). Surely you mean Metallic Beige don't you? 😆😆

DVLA prohibit the use of a number plate with year identifier being used to make a vehicle appear to be younger. ( You can however use a plate which makes your car seem older legally). That one owner Capri will be a 1971 model and not a 1969 model as advertised. Just checked both DVLA website and GOV.UK websites to confirm this.

@HubNut

22 күн бұрын

That's the rule now, it wasn't the rule back in the 1970s. The identifier would simply be the year it was first registered, whether delayed for some reason or if the car was imported.

I own that car its a 1969 capri 1600xl. purchased in Germany but when i returned to UK registered in 1971 Made in UK

Had a mk6 escort 1.6 finesse myself ran and drove spot on but the usual ford rust killed it as needed 2 sills and 2 rear arches was only on 57k at the time aswell

Was that a man, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look at you?

I went to Penscynor! 🤣

19.09 Sunbeam shows Maserati how to do wing side vents

That Ford Custom might be Aussie built, would explain the RHD

yes i do believe the mexicos were badged 1600 sport

That Austin 7 van would that be the smallest van ever made and that Vauxhaul lsuzu in Australia the Holden Gemini but many wonderful classic cars and naturally a great turn out

Love the variety and all the information provided. 20:45 "2CV engine but is four wheeled" does it means it's 4 wheel drive in some sort? I'm very confused but love it anyway Love the Costin Auto Project 5. Reminds me a little of the Alfa Zagato Disco Volante and VW Sagitta.

The Costin DKW would make a great EV, Light and aerodynamic. The Deek Engine was great choiceas it was known as the 3=6 ,six cylinder power from 3 2 stroke cylinders.

“They’ll run all day”

I thought that mk5 Cortina was my old one for a minute as same colour etc close reg mine was vcd61y

Do the Panthers have DeLorean wheels or just look that way. (I may edit and add to this comment, haven't finished watching yet but I'll forget to ask if I leave it 😂) That Supra is the spitting image of my first car ever in Gran Turismo 😁

Oh, metallic green all the way.

In the 70's my PE teacher had a Fulvia - a bit ratty but Ken Spreckley had one ....... then I research the cost new at the time and no wonder why he on a state school teachers salary could only afford a ratty one. To think he could have had a shiny MG instead but went down the pasta route good on him. Thus far into the vlog the Imp Californian wins for me. Oh hang on MK7 Jag has me wavering. Each to their own I know but most super car stuff and things like r/c air suspension leave me cold but as I say thats just me

That weekend is looking pretty hectic. Good show that.

Ian, wonder if you can help? In the late 80’s I lived in Pembrokeshire and was once passed near Cardigan by a 3 wheeler that looked like a Citroen Dyane, but with a single rear wheel in the middle. It definitely wasn’t a lomax or similar, as the whole body was too standard looking apart from the tapered in rear. Any ideas, as I’ve always been puzzled by it?

@HubNut

Almost certainly Friend who owns the Blue Costin here. That Dyane was rebuilt into Tryane II I guess.

@chriswilson263

Thanks for that! Just searched Citroen Tryane and found a picture of a red Dyane looking front. I do remember, when I saw it, it was being driven very quickly which may explain the crash picture from a later date.

I love Marcos and Frank Costin. Did frank Costin not design Baby Bertha Supersaloon? I think he did my memory. Thats the polar opposit with a Telecamit spelling fuel injected Repco V8 very similar to the Bathhurst nudeging 7500rpm lap after lap. Better built than the american. Holden V8s. Baby Bertha runs a chevrolet v8 but its original Repco I think is in a chevron racer.

I think I read that Costin made only three of those! I remember reading the review in Car Magazine in the 1970s when it was launched. I think it is even more astonishing now!
