You got better production quality in this video than some tv shows and movies have 😂
Thanks! I now have a talented team :)
Yeah but Matt is a pro tho. The best presenter Top Gear never had.
From the drone footage, b roll, following shots you got it all going on. Very nicely done indeed young man!
@@evanleebodies Could I nominate Mr Johnny Smyth, formally of 5th Gear and now of The Late Brake Show also as the best presenter top gear never had. Apparently he just lost out to Rory Reid…….
Yes I was going to comment on the videography
Here we got Mat, you're on your way to being the next Harry Metcalfe. You'll be giving us previews of Silverstone Auctions soon enough!
This was so well done. I think this could be your new career. Wonderful put together and filmed well done man. So enjoyable 👍👍
Thanks! Much appreciated
Nice work Matt , if this video was 2 hours long I would have watched every second of it .
Are you enjoying wathing ads as well?😂
@@urugvajchernamazyj6240 Dont watch if your not happy🤷♂️
I watched it on 0.25x speed.
@@urugvajchernamazyj6240 wathing closely indeed .
@@antoniopalmero4063 wut?
Normally watch on my phone but switched to my TV just to embrace the fantastic visuals 👍🏾 Two things. More videos like this and definitely give us a video with an original Mini 👍🏾
Thanks!
Also with an e38 7 series as well!
Yes but we like the original amateur-type videos too 🙂
Loved the old bangers the most. Not a fan of beemers but your blue one was special. 🎉
You really should. They were amazingly crude, but hilarious fun. Although the one in the vid is an absolute pimpmobile, horrible.
I’d genuinely struggle if I went to a classic car auction, I just know I’d buy something and then think “what have I done “ afterwards !!
You do tend to get carried away. That’s the problem
"what have I done" you say... behind the wheel of a large automobile.
@@tcaudiobooks737 ...but it’ll go well with your beautiful house.
Thats exactly it!🤣
@@Dreddingbath and beautiful wife, and you may ask yourself, "well, how did I get here?"
Absolutely loved this production, please keep visiting similar venues. I don’t know what I enjoyed more, the classic MG’s and Triumph’s or your enthusiasm which I can only describe as “ like a kid in a sweet shop”. I could tell you were in your element. A job well done.
You need to do more of these! I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the older cars and of course your geeky knowledge haha
Cheers!
@@HighPeakAutos Pity you don't recognise a Webasto sunroof when you see one.
@@michaelramsay-fraser7076 funny, you say pity but I think it’s actually a blessing 😂 wayyyy before my time
No offence but way before my time too but I know the differences and the fact that one has 4 cylinders and the other 6.
An MGC is pretty much identical to an MGB aside from the 3-litre straight six, 15 inch wheels instead of 14 inch, and the bonnet bulge to accommodate the radiator. Love the classic Mini Cooper JC later in the video as well - my all time dream car.
You would probably have liked my old mgbgt V8. Damask red 1974 year. It had the 3.5 rover engine...only about 140 HP but felt quick enough at the time...and sounded lovely. It was pretty reliable as well and we toured around Scotland in it during holidays.
What else...overdrive on 2,3 and 4th gear.
Lovely car . We got a fair amount of attention from others ...in a good way! Had about 150 k miles on it when I sold it.
Shame everything is getting so expensive these days.
Owners clubs can be good for insurance for young folk btw.
I also had a black V8 mgb roadster...but it wasn't a genuine car. I think I preferred the little red gt.
Mg midgets are great place to start...or at least they used to be...no idea about prices now.
Good luck with your collecting! Cheers
Just brilliant. Your taste in cars is almost as eclectic as mine. The star for me is the 500E. I’ve been trawling the web for them since your last video. A W124 Mercedes with Porsche input. I simply can’t think of anything better! 😂
👍 The car featured here is a 1994 onwards facelift W124 E500. The earlier cars (build between 1990-1993 ) were know as 500E and had a bit more BHP at 326 ish. I was lucky enough to own a one German owner from new, 1993 pre facelift 500E and they are fantastic bits of kit. Proper Q cars of the early 90's with exceptional build quality, even by today's standards. 👌 Best of luck with your 500E search 🤞
@@MattCSLnut I had a 1989 300E a few years ago. It was a wonderful car. I would love a 500!
That car is by far my favorite there too.
Since Matt mentioned the BMW750 appearing in The Transporter, for those who don't know Taxi (the French version) features 2 500Es and some excellent driving sequences. Just a superb looking car.
My favourite of your videos, and that’s quite an accolade. I think the viewing figures will show a new summer side angle for you, and hopefully us! An MGC has a straight 6, 3 litre, and is quite a car. I think you might have some form of crimson fever. You walked past 2 red Italian beauties! 😂
Fantastic to see you growing the channel like this, the production values just keep getting better, You with Smith & Sniff would be a winning combination for sure, I'd love to see you collaborate with Jonny, perhaps on a barn find for extra 'real world' future advice about what could happen to them when they get moved on in the market - you'd certainly have a lot in common with Richard Porter, given the locale and your snide wit and attitude (not to mention knowledge) it would be a winning combination....I think I've just realised who the next three presenters of that show should be!...I know you don't have that sort of agent but someone should get the three of you in a room together for sure.
Great video as usual. Liked the tweed jacket as well! The S-Type Jag has longer tail and independent rear suspension compared to Mk 2 , it’s more modern but the market still values it less than the Mk2 .
What a great video thanks for taking us for a look around ! it was very interesting seeing some lovely old motors!!
The XR4i was the first of my dad's cars I got to drive when I turned 17. I love those things. Unfortunately, so did all the car thieves in the area. Kept getting TWOC'd. If my footy bet comes in this week, I'm buying another one.
This was a very interesting video and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many cars from my youth (I am 70+ years old now). You pointed to an E-type jaguar 4.2 litre at 18.00 minutes with the "vinyl top". For your information this is a Webasto sun roof, a very good quality slide and fold -back roof, a perspex fly screen is also part of the mechanical roof which can be pushed up from inside. My wife had one of these in the late 1970's on her 1965 Mini Hooper, also had Dunlop wheels, walnut dash panel and 2" thick blue pile carpets. Yes it had been fitted out by Hooper Coachworks, as a special. This video brought back wonderful memories of fantastic cars. I had a particular fondness for the Mark 2 Lotus Cortina at 17.20mins. I think the original car would have had quarter bumpers, certainly the Mark One did. Thank you for showing this, and best wishes for future vids.
Love this Matt. Please do more if you get a chance.
Also, I think THIS is where the production level and style as in this presentation belongs. Your “look at what I’ve bought…” videos need you POV style.
Best of luck. And that XJRS wow!!
Good point
Excellent video Matt , I really enjoyed watching , you should go to some more classic car auctions and classic car shows ,there really enjoyable and normal very well organised.
I went to the H and H auction in Buxton last year, but the prices were crazy. Like all auctions including Mathewsons the cars nine times out of ten go for loads more than the estimate and then there is the commission on top.
I was going to go to the auction today but now i do not need to after seeing all the cars in the vid. The only cars i would be interested in are the Mini, TR6 and Capri. I had an MGB, TR6 and Rover Mini years ago when they were new. Yes i am old and do not need reminding of it lol.
The old cars had charm and bring back great memories of when i owned them, but modern cars are so advanced and mostly reliable. Better safety and extras like cruise control, air con, heated seats and much better MPG.
Great video Matt. It made you look very youthful, but unfortunately made me feel very old. Fantastic setting,(I love Buxton) and the cars on show were many and varied. Very interesting. Well done, beautiful clear, quality filming. Regards, Derek.
Thanks!
I had an original (1973) mini in early 1982 ish. It was great to drive because it went like the clappers and you never needed to change down gears going round corners in town.
My older brother had an original mini when he was at Warwick Uni in 1989. It was red, but don't know what year it was. I remember I went to visit him and when in the car thinking....why has he got this pile of junk? It was literally a metal cage on wheels. Overrated crap very much of their time.
Had all my paid for driving lessons in a bright orange 850 mini in 1973/74. Horrible thing to drive with a steering wheel that belonged in a lorry. Between driving lessons my dad took me out for practice in his mk 3 Cortina 2.0 GT. Not a lot of difference between the two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never driven a mini since.
The High Peak Drinking Game - Take a shot every time Matt says...
"Its an awful lot of car for the money"
"It wants a good clean"
"Its all the engine you'd need"
You'd be hammered 🤪 and I love it
"every BMW mini I ever bought was loads of trouble"
Brilliantly done! Really enjoying all your content at the moment Mat. Keep it coming. 👏🏻
Love it Mat, great stuff a beautiful balance between the old and the more modern cars, its good to see how far we've come
So interesting, definitely do more auctions/car part swap meets/car club days etc. It’s a nice change from your regular bread and butter videos.😊
Fantastic content!
Loving the production efforts, with what feels like Dennis Collins coffee walk accents 👌
Love this video. It's nice to see something different. You have a great presenting style and a genuine interest in the cars. I think you should do more of these
Absolutely loved it. Looking forward to another one. Thank you so much.
Loved it Matt, the TR6 brought back memories for me , I had a 1970 model which being pre 72 had the 150bhp engine they had to down grade to 125 for the American market. The Facel Vaga also reminded me of my neighbour in London’s South Kensington ! Lionel Bart who had a metallic Blue one. Thanks for bringing these classics back to life. 🙏🙏 27:13
My neighbour has a mint 1973 TR6 that looks exactly like the one here. If I am quiet and pick my moment, I can get past him.
Cracking video Matt. The quality of your films are going from strength to strength and this was on par with anything on mainstream TV. As others have said, I'd have watched all of this if it had been two hours long! Love your enthusiasm and we can tell how genuinely passionate you are about cars. I really expected a follow up with you driving the P38 telling us you'd bought it. Keep up the fantastic work Matt.
Excellent watch Matt. I’m up for more of this type of production. Well done to you and the crew.
Matt I'm 61 and I've never driven a Mini either! When I was young and Skint back in the early 80's the Citroen Dyane was my transport of choice! However looking back there was always something big and stupid in between each Dyane, V6 Granada(x2) RoverP5 and a V8 P6, early series 1 XJ all bought for buttons back then. I've never driven a Beetle either. Canada has a bit of history regarding RHD, they drove on the right until the late 20's and had a healthy export market into the 60's for US cars built with RHD in Canada.
Wow, loved it, some of those cars were really cool…
You’ll have to do a follow up and let us know what some of them went for!!!
Brilliantly put together Matt it's only a matter of time before main steam pick you up 👌👍
He'd slot right into a Top gear presenter
@@DSBeats_100 No he wouldn't get a chance on Top Gear. He doesn't have a Bolton accent, he knows too much about cars and he isn't annoying!
@@andrewgraham4838 🤣
Truly excellent, Matt. Fantastic filming and great viewing!
I am not much inclined to comment. I watch most all of your videos. This particular video is excellent for content. You showed my Stag, one of my TR6, and a Scirocco. Thank you for a memory trip. For what it is worth; I enjoy the cheap vehicles you buy. Thank you
Thanks for watching
Matt, @1:10 onwards is amazing. Really sets the scene!
In 1960 my Dad drove a Ford V8 Pilot - green, brown upholstery. People kept making cash offers for it. It was the same V8 engine as used in army vehicles during the war. Any mechanic could work on them quite easily. A comfortable but heavy car. Maximum speed 80mph.
Fantastic! Well done, loved the informative tour.
Dermot , Kildare Ireland
Thanks for bringing us with you, Matt
Great video! 👍
love these auctions, what a selection, great video!
Thanks! I enjoyed it
Really enjoyed that Matt. Surprised at the low(ish) the prices. I have driven the original mini - they're shoite.
Original mini not great? You literally grin from the minute you release the handbrake until you come to a stop. Of course it's not a Rolls Royce, it's a go-cart for the road.
@@matthewgee8122 Fair comment - my remarks were a bit unfair.
What a fantastic video lovely cars some really amazing presentation/ camera shots something different from your usual and still in formative you need a TV show its so good
More of These please Mat, welcome to the addictive world of wonderfull old cars, the perfect way to deplete your resourses and start enjoing motoring again!
Enjoyed that and hats off to you for showing and talking about cars you did not have much knowledge of. They are fascinating cars to someone born in the 80’s like me.
The E38 looks like a lovely car. I imported one from japan last year with only 13k miles on the clock and one previous owner. Good luck if you go for one. I’d only swap mine for a SL55 with low mileage to go with a couple of other M113K engined cars I have already.
Very nice! I will own one one day
Really wanted you to check tyre brands and if all corners matched 😂
😂 there wasn’t the time
Great video, really shows off your knowledge and I never say no to seeing some gorgeous (read: very tempting) cars! The camerawork and drone shots at the start really show off the extra production value! Love your passion, and same goes for all your videos, keep them coming and keep it up Matt!
Loved it. Got better and better with the old❤ cars. Those things are works of art in a different way from today. Loved your presentation style and honest opinions. Thanks Matt.
Imagine a high peak autos auction. One day right?
Yes that would be interesting - I think there are already "lottery" style sales going on but an auction would be a winner
felt like I was watching one of Harry's Garage Silverstone auctions. big fan of those, so obviously enjoyed this. ✊
what's next for Matt? next video probably see him popping up with David Hasselhoff at Gumball 3000. 😄
Haha well see 😂
Great vid, thank you and you have some proper old car knowledge for a young feller Matt.
Great video, very watchable. Hope you do more in the future!
Very nice video. I still have a P38 that I bought new in 2001. Still running well, although some of the plastic trim parts are breaking down and I can't find replacements.
Oh wow. Which model?
Well dressed! 🍸
I try :)
Wow that was brilliant Matt, thank you so much. I love stuff like that, the quality of some of those cars from the past, is outstanding.
Brilliantly done Matt. Thanks so much for bringing us along, such a treat. I had the frog eyed Sprite, 2 roadsters and the GT. Grew up had a couple of porches, got old into BMW, now ancient, your worst nightmare....a campervan, hahaha. 70yo.
MGs were troublesome, I used to write down part numbers, and retuning a regular thing.
This event really suits you, I hope you get to pick something up. My ribs would ache if you took a barn find in you your valet chap, what a hoot.
Absolutely love the E500. I had an E320 in a forest green color with a caramel brown interior. One of my favorite cars ever. Really enjoyed the vid. Nice to mix the type of vids up every once in awhile.
Great Video Matt. I cant believe how inexpensive some of the cars were.
I darn’t go to a car auction as I would have been biding on 3 or 4 of the ones you highlighted.
My concern is what happens to them when we have gone net Zero? Museum pieces?
Great Video Matt.
As an older guy I could have bored you to tears giving you some background on the cars which are before your era!
My favourite was the 2.8 Capri - always wanted one!
A breath of fresh air - Thanks, great video. For us humble soles stuck in Singapore this was definitely a call to come home!
That was a different video and a pleasure to watch. We genuinely could see you one day standing next to Chris Harris saying “in this week’s Top Gear…” 👍
Snappy dresser -the Nigel Havers of High Peak
Haha cheers
Look at you, preppy. Smartened up for the Auction tour. Like this format! To wet our appetites, it would be great to hear about the estimates
Great walk about show, Matt. Yes - more of these please.
Does this make you want to expand and start dealing with classic stock?
That honestly never crossed my mind. All I was thinking about was building some sort of Jay Leno inspired garage and building a private collection
Nicely done Matt thanks
Absolutely loved it!
Definitely the way to go to break up the other videos / reviews. Very enjoyable. A step in the right direction. It’s great to hear your knowledge and passion, insight and enthusiasm.
Wow! What a feast of lovely old cars... Thanks for the ride, Matt!
One of your best yet, really upped your game here with great photography. Growing up in the 60's in Cardiff, there was a Vette just like the red one with a black convertible top. Also had a yellow AquaCar just around the corner. My Dad's boss had a V12 E Type Coupe, I had a ride out in it once, it was so fast for its time. RE: The MK2 and S Type Jags, the Boot is more curved on the MK 2 with the S Types being a little longer and flatter.
Great tour video. Really enjoyed that!
Yes! Do more of these kinds of videos! 👍
What a revelation! Some fantastic classics here and all in the one place. Congratulations…
Great video Matt. You can genuinely tell you had fun going around there 😂 like a kid in a sweet shop
Matt, a great presentation and very informative especially to me living on the other side of the planet. More of these would be much appreciated and add a new dimension to your channel.
Thanks!...I really love these types of videos.
😁👍
Really enjoyable, love your enthusiasm and how you don't BS if you don't know something is really refreshing! Geeking out as a classic car owner, those vinyl sunroofs are generally called Webasto roofs after the main maker of them Look forward to seeing more like these videos.
Great that - really interesting and well made as usual. Thanks !
Thanks Matt, nicely paced video. A pleasure to watch.
I really enjoyed the tour, so many classic cars reunited. Thank you Matt
Absolutely loved this Matt, more of these please. I really hope you bought that 750i, so cool!
Another great video, Matt. It's nice seeing you taking a deeper dive into the classics scene.
I enjoyed that... thanks Matt for filming your visit. Would definitely like to see more auctions, and it looked like you really enjoyed it as well. Great camera work 👍
Yes! More, please!
Another video where you could have given us a couple of hours and we'd still have watched it! Loved seeing some of the older cars and thought it would be perfect having modern reliability with the build quality of old, thanks Matt, keep up the good work
Great video, great cars, I enjoyed every minute, please more of this awesome stuff.
Hi Matt. I don’t normally bother to comment but I think this video was one of your best. Also, it made my very nostalgic and looking at the expected prices I now I wish I had been able to hang onto my E-type, S-type, frog eyed Austin Healy, TR2, TR3, TR4, TR6, MG, Series 1, 2 and 3 Land Rovers, Lotus Cortina and Lotuses. Even my Sierra XR4x4 and Mini! I would be rich. Now I couldn’t fit in any of them! I drove my boss’s Corvette back in the 80s when in the US and it was terrible although the Daimler Dart was the first car in which I did over 100 MPH on the Kingston bypass. I really hope you will do some more videos like this one. Thanks a lot.
These are really interesting Matt, thankyou. I love going to old auctions, there are so many interesting cars to see. If you can do some more it would be much appreciated.
Love the no nonsense approach...keep em coming ❤
Great ! Please do some more of these types of videos ! Thanks Tony
Excellent, more of this please.
Absolutely loved that Matt, excellent presenter I thought! Please do more of this
Cheers!
Wonderful Matt please do another. Very interesting .
Excellent vid Matt... love to see you bringing an old classic back to its former glory
Loved this. My first car was a 1973 mini and my second was an MG Midget 1973 that I pulled out of a hedge and restored fully. More of this please :)
What a really enjoyable video Matt, loved your very relaxed and honest style of presenting. Yes please Matt! more of this content, some really beautiful car's. Harry Metcalf had better watch out, there's a new guy on the block. 😊
Really enjoyable. Great knowledge too.
Terrific entertainment Matt. Your production values get better with every video. Now we've got some great drone shots to capture the setting and atmosphere. I'm amazed that you turned that round in such a short time, before auction day. Don't know how you kept your enthusiasm in check...you could have been the proverbial kid in the toy shop. So many if these cars were from my youth. As a teenager I remember the London Met Police buying two Daimler Darts in 1961 as traffic cars. They finished up with 26. (a bit more useless info for you 😉) Thanks again for this...great stuff. Cheers Roj
Yess please Matt. More of these.
WOW! Absol brilliant, and loved the older cars partic' the Rolls. Loved the craftsmanship :)
