The THORESBY PARK classic car show 2024 | Thoresby Hall
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 тра 2024
- The 2024 Thoresby Park classic car show, outside the magnificent Thoresby Hall, was my first visit to this scenic venue and car event. The hope was to see a pool of vintage, classic and retro cars that don't tend to appear at the shows we go to, and that proved to be the case with just a few familiar vehicular "faces" turning up.
The run over to Thoresby Park took a couple of hours or so in the MX-5, the sun was shining and a good day's viewing was predicted. The 2024 Thoresby Park classic car show was a two-day gathering, I attended on day one only. As always, I tried to include a broad mix of the cars that went along, with the main focus being on the older cars given that this is a classic car channel mostly. I was surprised how many classic cars for sale there were too.
Highlights included a rare Auto Union/DKW F102, Ford Zephyr Zodiac Mk1, Lancia Beta Montecarlo, a pair of Ford Prefect E493As, an early SAAB 900 turbo, Mitsubishi Starion, Chevy BelAir station wagon, Austin A50 Cambridge, Morris Marina Pickup, Toyota Cressida (a model I've not seen for donkeys of years), a very original Triumph Herald 12/50, Renault 16, and perhaps my favourite of the lot, a rare 1950s Morris Oxford Traveller. It was fun to chat with a few followers of the Old Classic Car channel, not something I was expecting given that I was not on my usual patch.
Your comments, likes and subs welcomed as always.
As this was my first visit to the Thoresby Park classic car show I wanted to cram in as much as possible, I hadn't planned for the video to be quite this long so my apologies for taking up a chunk of your evening(s). Hopefully it gives an idea of what a typical classic car show in the UK is like to viewers elsewhere.

Thank you for two and a half hours of pure enjoyment. Brilliant.👍
Glad you liked it, don't forget to have a look at previous uploads and also look out for a new vid coming soon like this
what a great turn out of stunning cars
Great video and yet again so many beautiful vehicles, TR7's were indeed built at Speke, but Speke definately isn't on the Wirral. 👍
What an amazing turnout both in numbers and variety. Even a Morgan or two.
The Riley RM brings back memories. In 1967 a mate of mine turned 17 and got one as his first car. He'd paid a tenner for it off some local older blokes and invited me over for a look at it. When I got to his place I it was sitting in the middle of the road after the engine had conked out. So me and another couple of lads tried pushing it out of the way but when we pushed it strange tearing noises came from the back of the roof which then tore away causing the roof to collapse. We were in tears of laughter at the sight of this rotten wreck but felt sorry for our mate who had been ripped off. His Dad got the tenner back though after suggesting that a refund was better than a broken nose!
A huge thank you from me for the amazing amount of time and effort from all at OCC headquarters in making all these great videos available to us.
Thanks Brian! Around 350 clips were individually edited to put this one together
Great video. The DKW is really interesting, and the Oxford Traveller.

Thanks for watching!
Thanks , This The Great Car Channel & Video ! The Best of The Best !
Hello From Finland !
Me again , I'm sorry if I repeat myself . You might be rolling your eyes when reading my comments. I'm getting old now. I love the NSU Ro 80 , and the red DKW Auto Union is excellent. I watched a German car show on youtube and there were two DKWs on show there.
Really love these type of shows. So many different cars.
Nice to meet you at the show, and thanks for showing my 4 door morris minor daily driver, all the best from All Things Morrris
I am watching from Tobago in the West Indies, so fantastic for to see all these beautiful cars
Cool, thanks for watching!!
Down our way Mog or Mogys refer to Morgans.
And here as well.......................
Yet another great event, and lots of excellent cars on show. I think this is a must for me too visit as soon as our house move is completed sometime around the end of June. Thanks for sharing this new event. All the best Bob
Thanks Bob! It was well worth the trip over
Epic video RJ !
What a splendid turnout of cars, it must test your knowledge but you never disappoint!
We all appreciate the work you put into these and the time it must take editing and recording. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dennis!
Loved the look of the Renault 16 when it first came out. A really nice design. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks Lawrence, yes those 16s are good-looking cars
Great video
And only 19 mile down the road from me you could have called for tea!!!!
Enjoyed this very much a great park some outstanding cars
Thanks for your time and effort😊😊😊😮
Thanks 👍
An epic show RJ full of fabulous cars and for me, memories.That looks an idea location. Nice to see you getting recognised.I had my convertible out yesterday and it was a joy. Good to see the subs edging up .
It was interesting to visit this new-to-me show, there were a lot of later cars but enough oldies too to make it worthwhile.
so interesting to watch someone else's footage of a show we were at - there are cars I didn't even see! Thanks for the sub 👍
nice to speak to you at the show, just subscribed to your channel, all the best All Things Morris
@@simonbriggs8139 likewise - great show. I launched part 1 today on my channel so interesting to watch OCC's polished version 😙😂 Great to chat and sub'd to you as well. Cheers, Mike & Maia
I'll check out your take on the show later on, nice to meet you last weekend
In the 1950s one of those Oxford estates in green used to deliver the newspapers along the Warren between Talacre and Gronant, it became my favourite car along with the Ford Pilot. As for a classic to use and tour, for me it has to be the MGB GT and Speke is not on the Wirral, it is part of Liverpool. I served my time at Voss Motors at Liverpool and I often worked on a Sunbeam Tiger , belonging to Mersey Docks and Harbour boss Mr Leggett and the reg was LEG 8. Great vid, many thanks.
Thanks, Richard for another interesting video, Classic Shows the organisers of the Thoresby event have another great show at Wentworth Woodhouse, near Rotherham on 14th July 2024, well worth the trip over the Pennines.
It's a possible sometime although there's quite a lot on 14th July so maybe not this time around, thanks for watching
Good to see you traveling a bit further afield to see a lot of different cars.
I love the classic cars,brings back memories of the good old days of motoring,when things were so much different
Far more dangerous, but exciting, I've been through many a hedge, backwards......................
Hi 👋 Brilliant car show , such a good turn out of cars for it. I liked the beautiful surrounds too. You recorded it well by positioning yourself in different spots. The little Daf stood out because there wouldn't be many around today. I have only ever seen one here in New Zealand, and that was back in the 1970s. They were all automatic cars. The Ford Sierra is getting rare now, I remember lots on the road in the late 1980s/ early 90s. The Triumph Stags look so good , my older brother had a friend who bought a brand new one in 1976. It was white . It was nice to ride in too, very smooth. Thanks from Carl.
Glad you found it of interest!
@@oldclassiccarUK I always do find your videos to be interesting. I'm older than you and remember the old 1950s/ 60s cars when I was young. So it's a joy seeing them turn up at the shows there.
I was going to go along in my 1936 Austin 12 New Ascot which I think you would like but couldn't in the end. Thankyou for the Video and all you do. Was gutted as would have liked to meet you in person... Sure there will be another time. Keep on entertaining us all regards John.
Thanks John, glad you like these uploads
The two-tone green Morris Oxford estate and two-tone grey Rover P4 were the stars of the show for me. A real cornucopia of vehicles that brought back memories of the 70s and 80s, but sadly only a few pre-war cars. Nonetheless, thank you for a great video and all the effort you must put into it.
Yes it'd be nice to see more early cars at these events, they can sometimes be few and far between
@@oldclassiccarUK I forgot to say that it is nice to see more and more drivers who are OCC viewers recognising you behind the camera.
@@colinmuddell9672 Ha yes we do get some of that between us, I suppose it goes with the territory :) Thanks for sticking with the channels!
Your background knowledge of these cars is encyclopedic, great commentary,
Thanks Martin!
Hi Richard. As you say, it's always fun going outside your normal visits . Too many too mention but that Mitsubishi GTO is a 3litre V6 twin turbo 4WD rocket ship ! Drove the original demonstrator from Cirecester to Torquay .....what a hoot ! 34 years ago !!! Are you certain that was a 2002 tii ? The wheels and grille indicated it to be a base model 1501 . And finally you're spot on with the fragility of the 1100 /1300 's . They disolved faster than Alka Seltzer in a glass of water 🤣 Thanks Richard .
Not sure on the BM but I thought it said tii on the back, may have been wrong :)
Rick that 39 V8 is a Deluxe model and before you pointed out it came in from NZ I thought it must not be from your home market as I noticed it had no marker lamps on the guards or wings as you call them. The engine in that is basically the same as your Pilot It will be a 221ci 85bhp engine like yours but will have the upgrade to 24 stud heads that came out in late 1938 USA rather than the 21 stud head which was up to 37 in the USA ( but was used Post War for Ford UK and produced in Dagenham with firing order on the heads).
We saw a rover 820 coupe 3 door yesterday in Willenhall on an R plate immaculate and totally original with apparently as many as 39 left on the road
The chap describing his pristine Morris Oxford doesn't happen to be Fred Dibnah?
Ha don't think so, although I did briefly meet Fred D years ago at a steam rally
@@oldclassiccarUK Lovely man. I read his autobiography a few years ago and he is a true Brit with plenty of common sense and compassion.. Should have been PM!
👍👍👍👍👍
Apparently there are about 10 Cressidas left in the UK. I had an estate for a year in the early 90s which was a cheap one-year only car going very rusty, but it had a replacement used Japanese MOT failure engine, which made it mechanically reliable. They were already rare then.
It always amazes me how cars that typically survived only 10 years or so back then, somehow survive today (think BMC 1100)

Only 38 minutes into the video .
Of course I’ve always just really liked the Cortina MK2 design [ even when they were sold in North America].
The Renault 16 - you are right , just a very cool design.
The Gilbern was fantastic looking, as was that 1950’s Mercedes Sedan [ Saloon].
2:08 am. I’ll have to finish this later.
📻😁
Ha yes this one suits multiple sittings :-)
😁👍
Another great video as usual, but surprisingly there were a couple of cars you missed. The first was a green roadster that I saw in the beginning from the back and at first glance thought was an MGTD until I saw the rounded radiator shell and said, "Ah, I think that's a Singer. Well, he'll see it later." It was in the near background at about 2:05:52, when you were looking at another car in great detail. The second was a blue roadster with a trailer near the end at 2:19:56, in the background as other cars were passing in front of it. Like you, I am much more interested in the older cars, and especially in their unique engine designs and layouts. Is the engine in the DKW/Auto Union basically the same as in the 3-cylinder early SAABs?
Hi yes there were a few arrivals that, for whatever reason, I didn't stumble across during the walk around despite being on my feet from early doors, through to about 3pm. Cars often head off around lunchtime which makes covering some events in detail very tricky. I sometimes think that many people are used to breakfast/car&coffee type meetings, that staying the full day at a regular show isn't something they'd now do. Maybe?
@@oldclassiccarUK I didn't mean to criticize as I realize what a Herculean task putting this all together must be...not to mention the amount of time on your feet. I'm a big fan of your videos and never miss any. Harley would have liked this one.
1:04:25 escort estate, my first car, it rusted for England. This one is a bit oddball, R reg would be mk 2 and tailgate looks mk 2, but with a mk 1 front end.
On my Google map, it shows The Royal Lancers & Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Museum, is on the same site.
The blue mid-1960's Valiant looks to have been "customized" by at least chopping off the roof and fitting a tent-like canvas hood over the opening and deleting the stock tail lights. Oh well, it's at least running. I'm not a particularly enthusiastic Rolls-Royce fan, but that old spotless saloon bodied one I would gladly ride in. Lots of cars not seen before in this show. Thanks, Richard!
