Top job as always Simon. I like how you don’t rush and just select cars and focus on them a little more. Great to meet you on the day and thanks for taking the time to speak to my friend Gary and me. Start our long trip back to Tasmania tomorrow. It’s been an awesome car lovers 3 weeks for us.
Fantastic content. Thanks for sharing with us You take your time with every car and present with lots of knowledge You deserve a gig on TV Can't believe there's a Fiat Strada still in existence. Brilliant
@@stevestaff7425 thanks Steve, much appreciated. I just relish the opportunity to see so many rare cars at FOTU…. As you say a Fiat Strada… find another.. at FOTU you might actually be able to do that!
That Metro cracks me up. It might as well have been called the " Puritan" trim level. Still, they pushed the boat out when choosing the colour ! " Optional extras ! Perish the thought !- They are the Devil's work !" Great Vid Simon - Always depressing to think how shapeless and characterless modern cars are by comparison.
@@kevinbray9550 thanks Kevin…as a postscript I followed the exact same Metro out of the show and down the A1, now whilst I don’t drive like a Formula One champion, I couldn’t stay behind him otherwise I’d still be on the way home now!!
Great vid, thanks, love your enthusiasm and knowledge! Your car was lovely, grey before grey became the'new' modern colour on everything! (and house paint😂) Great day wasn't it 👍
I thought Id left a comment previously, Simon. I dont know why it didn't post. I thoroughly enjoyed this. You've a good and interesting presentation style, which in my opinion, makes your uploads something to look forward to. Keep up the very good work. Much appreciating your dedication.
That Lancia Zeta looked amazing and I never knew they existed. I was rather taken with that R25 Taxi as well as the 11 TXE executive that I saw. The Tempra were great looking cars too. Nice to.see a mk1 Cavalier 2 door.
You mention the Mazda could of had 4 wheel steer,I remember going to see a customer of mine at his garage in Swanley Village he had a4 wheel steer in the workshop ,I asked how his customers managed 4 wheel steering.He replied Timmy most of customers struggle with 2 wheel steering!
Those early Volvo 300s with the cvt transmission are very rare to find now Volvo was so disappointed in the quality of them they told UK dealers to scrap them when they came in part exchange later on in life
@@Lot76CARS yeah thats how much re-engineering went into them to make them into a true Volvo, the early daf designed 3 doors were quickly dropped Volvo thought they really hurt their reputation My mother had a H reg white 340 5 door after her mini metro got stolen, felt like a tank in comparison
@@alancrisp1582 to be honest Alan you’re right YT promote them more, otherwise the video can sink without trace so to speak..often when I try and edit and publish late the same day I’ll do them.. it was simple to late to publish last night as it’s a 3 hour+ journey.
@@Lot76CARS 👍 Thank you for your honesty. I enjoy your channel, and many others. But I so hate the UA-cam platform, with it stupid rules and over the top censorship ! ⚠..
Alan there is literally no rhyme or reason… some videos fly beyond all expectations and other similar ones crash.. but the work involved editing and cost getting to shows is the same.. I give up gaming it and make what I like.. hopers few people agree😂
@vwgolf9826 sure was it to loud? I did reduce the volume on some of the clips, but I’ll certainly bear that in mind, thanks for highlighting this. I tried to keep it a consistent volume as I know how frustrating it is when you’re watching UA-cam and have to keep turning the volume up or down, obviously in this case I haven’t cracked it!
Brilliant cars there really enjoyed seeing them.

@@99AmethystZJ many thanks, it was an epic show this year!
@@Lot76CARS indeedy, I had the first Ulysse at the bottom end!
I own the 106 at 12:41! Me and my partner put some good thought into where our tat should go! Glad you liked the car
@@vmeruu well done, it was really well presented
Nice video love the obscure very good knowledge subbed 👍

Loving your love of these cars.
The Citroën Visa was based on the Peugeot 104 so yes, it ultimately did share some features with the 205.
Wonderful to see and hear your kind words on my Leganza. It's true she's for sale so hopefully the linger on the number will pay off!
@@nathanielhiggins6867 my pleasure, made my day to see such a unicorn… I wish I had an excuse to buy it myself, must be a future concourse entrant!

I might be mistaken but I think that blue mk3 fiesta belongs to Gary Wilson.
When you came across the Sana, you said it looked like it had a hint of BX. I think you mean ZX.
Thinking about it you’re right, ZX as well… and the constant feeling you seem those design questions before!

Wannna sell your 190?
I think I’m far too attached to it now!
Don’t think that’s called for
That is one massive hair out your right nostril .
