- Classic cars gathered at the Crewe Heritage Centre on January 30th 2022 for the first of the year's "Off the rails" vehicle meetings, and the turnout was mighty impressive. We pottered over in our 1952 "sit-up-and-beg" Ford Anglia (Pop 103E shape), that car features in the video uploaded prior to this one, here though we focus on all the other preserved gems that headed out on what was a mild day for the time of year. The variety of classic vehicles that turned up was impressive, with cars, pickups, vans and motorcycles all rubbing shoulders with each others, their owners keen to catch up with friends and generally enjoy a few hours in like-minded company.
It's not easy to pick favourites, but on my shortlist I'd definitely have the c1958 Chevrolet Apache pickup truck, the Mk1 Escort twin-cam (which I chat to its owner about in some detail), the mighty 1952 Cadillac Series 62 (same year as my Ford), an immaculate 3-litre Vanden Plas Princess, a 1933 Riley Lynx, and the very original Volvo PV544. Other rarities at the show included a super-original 3 Litre Austin (which I had a long conversation with the owner of, thanks Nigel), a Hillman Husky, and a smart red Mk2 Ford Transit, but there were plenty of other rarely-seen motors here too - for instance I don't remember the last time I saw an Opel Rekord, but there was one here. The classic ice cream vans were also a treat to see.
Hats off to the organisers for putting this meet together, and to everyone who took their car over to the heritage centre in Crewe. This is set to be a regular meet-up, keep an eye on the "Off the rails" Facebook page for details and dates of upcoming meets.

Thanks very much for watching, this vid is a little longer than I'd planned (hence splitting off the previous Anglia footage which originally I'd planned to bundle together with this one). Thanks also to my family who put up with having the internet connection bogged down for hours uploading this to UA-cam :-)
All likes, comments and subscribers welcomed as always, it really helps the channel continue to grow - more videos along soon!
