- Thank you so much to the team at Great British Car Journey who let me go 'behind the scenes' at the museum to fill their brilliant collection of classics.

The Sweeney's Granada was actually a Consul GT,

Carter: "Wot on a copper's bunce? Leave it out guv!"
They HAVE to get that Mayflower driving my Grandmothers friend owned one. Her name was Gertie and she had been a racing driver before the war and then spent the war at Bletchley park. Gertie never married but was such a character she was always Hareing around Shropshire in sports cars mostly but kept the Mayflower in pristine condition, it obviously had great sentimental value! I remember when as a youngster she used to tell us stories (not sure if they were true) it seemed to bring things to life, in a daring slightly naughty way, but she loved her cars.
Old cars are memories for sure, great Channel Thanks for posting and I look forward to the MGC resto
She said the truth😂😂😂😂...today all the cars looks same just lil difference here- there and that's all...but these classics are chef's kiss!! 😘😘😘....
That pink beauty at 2:16..can someone ID it??
Steph you are great, badazz....you always bring best stuff...your videos are very entertaining!! Hopes your and my all British brothers and sisters are doing sound and Happy!!
Fantastic look around. For me it was the pink Vauxhall Cresta. Pink is not ideal for most cars but I think it did suit the Cresta. The Triumph Mayflower is also one that should be on display because they are so different from all the others of that period. I seem to remember them being called 'The Gentleman's razor edged saloon.' Not a slogan that would be popular today of course.
Hi Steph, I totally agree with you - the Triumph Mayflower is a MUST. You HAVE to take it out for a test drive - I've always loved them and always wanted one. I'm 69 now and would still love one. PLEASE get one to test ! Great video as always Steph - take care 🙂
Hiya Steph. It's been three months since I met you and Ian at the NEC Classic Motor Show, and I loved going there and seeing all the great cars, and I haven't got over it!!! I see that you've got two Vauxhalls that you've test driven, the yellow Astra 1 and the reddish brown Chevette, I also saw in the film a blue Chrysler Avenger with a black vinyl roof, a Ford Sierra Sapphire and that classic Ford Granada from TV's The Sweeney. The Classic Car & Restoration Show's only less than six weeks away, so I look greatly forward to going there and meeting you and other motoring journos. By the way, I saw an original splitscreen Morris Minor yesterday lunchtime in the parking lot of the Merry Hill shopping centre, it was registered KWV 877, it dated from 1953-54, the body colour was pale blue.
Bless you!!! I hope we see you at Rustival.
The milkfloat is awesome, I do miss them doing thier rounds. The milkfloat bus idea is very doable, the town of Polperro in Cornwall uses converted floats as shuttle buses between the car/coach park and village centre. You and Fred would really enjoy pottering down there in Nancy then getting a ride on the milkfloat to the pasty shop 😊
Milkfloat are on the way back, it's called the Cyburktruck.
@@awelonstudio Except it carries a lot less
Glorious legacy of classic british cars. Incredible collection. What an amazing vedeo !
Hi Steph, What an amazing collection of cars. Very cool to see a few cars I haven’t seen here in NZ in quite a few years.
Always good seeing a TR7, Rover 200 in there as well, one of my first memories is going with my Dad to collect his new Cortina Y reg from Chesterfield
My dad was a milkman and I remember him driving one of those ones in the late 70s/90s.
What an interesting collection and such a treat to be able to wander around looking at such a diverse selection of vehicles. I wondered if I might see a Riley Kestrel 1100 (having seen the 1300GT and the Vanden Plas)....I owned one back in the 1980's which was my first proper car - that Riley was my pride and joy with the leather seats and walnut dash 😍
wow nice collection as usual Steph great tour and interview
Thanks for sharing Steph, awesome collection 😊👍
Terrific video Steph.
I think I’ve just sorted out where I’m going for my holidays this year
I have a soft spot for the Mk 4 Cortina. I did briefly own an estate when it was already an old banger but I drove several as "pool" cars in my first job, in the early '80s.
Great tour Steph. I wish there are classic cars like these in South Korea.
It's the ford granada for me it oozes class
Milk and More took over Dairy Crest. We've had a milkman for decades and these floats were used in the early/mid 2000's.
Some great cars there in this behind the scenes video. I have to agree with you that the Triumph Mayflower is a lovely car. The lines are so majestic and you could feel you are in something much more expensive. The milk float is nostalgia itself. Thanks Steph for this slightly different video for a Sunday. 👍👍
The Mayflower and the first Standard Vanguard are two great examples of very differently styled cars sold at the same time.
I'm pretty sure there is a Triumph Mayflower in our club, Northwest Casual classics.
Love thisx
Best of luck with upcoming content on the channel keep up the good job 👍👍👍
Great collection.
People have been saying “All cars look the same nowadays” since at least the 1980s if not earlier. When you look at a collection like this you realise it wasn’t true then any more than it is now.
This is the first time I've ever seen a Mayflower. Triumph really knew how to build a handsome car right from the beginning. Great vid
My favourite would be that MK1 Granada GXL. My brother had several back in the day, the best was a black coupe Ghia. Very rare. Never got to drive one but would still like to have a go. See they have a MK2 A40 which I did have and it ran brilliantly but the rust had a severe hold on it and would've cost too much to restore.
😂😅 Gorgeous absolutely beautiful collection of classic vehicles. What motoring wet-dreams are made of !!......................
Reminds me of a micro version of the vault tour of the Lane Miseum in Nashvile TN. Some amazing cars they have locked up down there. They have a vault tour I thing 2x per week 1 showing. I felt lucky to get in on it and took a zillion pictures that I posted on my Facebook page.
I liked the Austin 1300GT. We got a two door version sans vinyl top, wheels and tach as the Austin America here on n the states. My late aunt had one.
Vauxhall Pa cresta gorgeous car
Hello Steph and Ian, seeing the blue "indie" car, which reminded me that my (late) cousin who lived in Manchester use to work in a garage where these were serviced and refurbished, and if one was road legal and a runner we use to collect the fish and chips on a Friday lunch time, the engine could be "tuned" slightly which gave it a bit more acceleration and a slightly better top speed - but left a blue smoke screen behind - wonderful memories! coming back from delivering the morning papers when a youngster, living in Blackburn with some steep hills, the morning milk man use to give me a lift sitting on the back, up some of the hills so I would not be too tired out!! Great video!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
I have a suspicion a lot of these milk floats, maybe not this one, were rebodied with modern looking bodywork. Talking of Electric vehicles don't for get the Trolleybuses which collected their 'fuel' from overhead wires at around 600 volts DC. I had driven these excellent vehicles, in the past, as a volunteer at a local open air museum.
Terrific video, Steph. Love the older cars. Style, class, and substance even with the smallest cars. I think i spotted a pair of Austin 7s, although i may well be wrong. My favourite is that white Ford Capri. I remember when they were still being sold new on this side of the Atlantic. Lucky you to be allowed down there. Fantastical.
Steph, you just have to do a review on that milk float!
My first car was a 1970 Austin 1100 bought in1986 for £350 loved it and my first new car was a rover montego 1.6L white and gray bought in1990 would love to own them again
The Smith milkloat is odd, it's a mid 70s model but, apparently, first registered in 2005!
Nice Video, and a big collection of classic, For me, The Sunbeam Rapier, the Bond coupe, Austin A40 Somerset and the Mayflower. Good luck Bob
The Austin A30 parked behind the Granada was identical to one I owned in the later ‘80’s, even down to the colour and the metal sunvisor, brought back happy memories.
Loved the Mayflower :)
Steph - tell them to get the red with black roof Austin A40 Farina MkII into the museum! It looks precisely like my old dad's. Same model, same colour scheme. Gave me quite a turn when I saw it in the video!
Yes need to drive the mayflower plus the Rover that came after the Acclaim
Great video Granada for me every time I see one I go week at the knees
I drove the Avenger & the Imp last Saturday - the latter was brilliantly awful! I'd wanted to try the red A40 as it was my Dad's company car in the '60s, but it's currently not driveable due to what were described as 'issues'.
Once it's available again it'll be a good excuse for a return trip - & I'll also go for the Granada, to experience either end of the '60s/'70s motoring spectrum.
And my first paid job was helping my brother-in-law on his milkround in the summer of 1975. Hard work for a 12 year-old - & you stank like a gone-off yogurt by the end of each morning.
😅
I remember milk floats from my childhood on cold, misty schoolday mornings as they hummed around leaving silver tops on our doorstep.
The road where my parent's first house was had an invicar close by and I walked past it regularly.
My favourite there is the blue Avenger, very similar to the one my dad had from about 1986-1990. I also like the HC Viva, Marinas, Allegro etc - all the ordinary 1970s cars that have all but disappeared now.
7:58 "I feel ever so privileged..."
I know what you mean. I feel that you're ever so privileged too!
I love the Ford Capri behind you. The white one. How come some cars they did not show and kept cover on them?
It’s a storage unit so the covers are most likely to keep the 🐦⬛💩 off the cars 🙂
mkv cortina
Did I see the headlight of a Scimitar SS1 peeking out from beneath a cover, would like to see more of that. Also the Rover SD3 appeals for some unknown reason.
love this video and Steph you are right modern car's are just so very dull and boring to drive and look at the classic cars are the very best because they are different and that is what makes them great .
My uncle Manny had one in the 70’s Believe it or not, you could fit somebody behind the driver seat, and if you sat to the side on the floor , you could also fit someone underneath the drivers legs … looking back, it was a very dangerous game
Wow Steph, videos like this stir up so many fantastic memories. I hate modern cars, if you took the badges off all the new SUV's you would be hard pushed to know who made them. I owned a Daytona yellow Consul 2.5 V6 for a while. My wife hated it to the point that she refused to drive it and wasn't that happy about even being seen in it! Everyone to their own I guess. I thought it was great, it passed everything except petrol stations! My first car was a 1964 Morris Oxford, bought in 1971, interestingly it was already almost terminally rotten (chassis) at only 7 years old. They don't make 'em like they used to, thank God! I am 71 now and trying to restore a BMW E31 840Ci, now there is a car that is stand-out different from the rest. Hope I can get it back on the road some day.
What was the black limousine at the beginning of the video, Bentley, Wolsey Daimler just looks very interesting
Vanden Plas I think by the look of the front.
Whar a fabulous collection. I remember my dad having a series 2 Land Rover SWB in dark green ,and my first car was a red 5 door 1987 Austin Metro City that had a flat battery after it rained when my dad fitted a rear wiper. Amazing how few Chevettes and Montegos are left. The Granada and Montego are my favourite. Would they be putting a P6 in? I would want to drive every one of them but I need about £5000 for that. It would be worth every penny though
I would quite like to pay a visit in the near future. Although not on the video I think they have an MG Maestro 2.0i that I'd certainly be interested in driving. My parents owned an early MG1600 late 1980s / early 1990s. I did spot an MG Montego in the video and wouldn't mind a go in that also.
I'm sure I saw you at the Stockport Vintage market yesterday? I was in my Austin Mini.
You did! You should’ve said hi and taken my visa debit off me whilst you were there 😂😂😂
@@idriveaclassic I didn't want to intrude on your day! Did you go in the shop next to the market? The furniture in there is amazing!!
I just want to have a storage building like that.
I think Ian might be a Ford fan….not sure what makes me think that. 😆 I think they have an Austin 3 litre in the wings somewhere there. A definite one that needs to be made ready for driving IMHO.
I've got a 1986 Bentley Turbo R... Is it likely to go up or down in value. It's in reasonable to good condition..I don't know if I should keep it or sell it. Thanks
hard to pick between the little metro vanden plas or the lovely 1300 gt
Triumph Mayflower? Really? I don't get it, just plain weird to my eyes.
My Uncle George was a milkman!
Less talking , more showing of cars !
'Electric vehicles are really exploding' - I hope not!
The Invicar l never knew that they existed until l started watching Hubnut because they never came to Australia and the last time l saw a Triumph Mayflower was some 60 years ago and that milk float l wonder if Tony from EV Car Nage would like to look at because he refers to EVs as milk floats and it will be the only classic EV still running
Was that a R-R Camargue hiding under a cover?
Not sure I’ve heard the words whizzing and milk float in the same sentence before!
May I ask why a Mercedes Benz was in a collection of British cars.
Please send me that milk float to Uniondale Western Cape South Africa. We will sell ice cream from it. We're a poor town
Invacars were death traps and should never have been allowed on the road 😢
You have to remember in those days that most road vehicles were death traps. My Uncle, for example, rode a BSA with my Aunt and infant cousin in the sidecar!
If you could perhaps take a few moments to try to understand their purpose and place in history, you might see things differently.
And a Reliant Robin wasn't?
