Well done Harley! Dad must have mixed feeling - enormous pride that you are more than able to go solo to shows using your acquired knowledge, yet a little sad that you are stealing his thunder! Yet I am sure the overall feeling with be that the OCC family is and will continue its great contribution to the promotion, preservation and use of great classic motors. It was great. I presume that mum drove the MX5 or have you at last gained your licence? Whatever, thanks for a well produced video and engaging voice over - with post-video corections! Rob
Harley - that was BRILLIANT ! You covered so much and didn't dwell too long on anything in particular. Something for everyone there. I have to say, your breadth of knowledge is quite amazing for a 16 year old ! I'm with you on that Lanchester - what a beauty, and so rare too, but equally, the Green SAAB 96 2 stroke. My first car was a Red, 1963 Bullnose SAAB 2 stroke - 3794 VB. It went like a rocket, even though it was only 841cc, but you had to keep a good supply of clean spark plugs in the boot. Great work there Harley you did an excellent job - maybe your best show presentation yet ! Thanks - take care 🙂
Agreed! The one, teensy, tiny, itty-bitty trace of a suggestion I would make, would be to make more use of the medallions and emblems on vehicles when they might help identify a marque. I kept thinking, "If he just steps round the front or back of that big yellow Buick, he'll see the cloisonne with the name plainly featured." But, then again, keeping up the banter to cover the music, along with the sheer number and variation of cars that show up for English meets, must be a challenge that keeps one moving along!
@@barrykochverts4149 Yes I did often have to keep facing one direction to avoid the mic picking up copyrighted music, but yes, your suggestion is helpful. I often need it most with the vintage home-built specials at VSCC events as they are very hard to identify!
Hi Harley and a job well done I remember the Austin Kimberley and Tasman here in Australia Australia they didn't sell well had a few problems so only sold for a couple of years, cheers
What a cool car show… looks like it has something for every taste in motoring! The Chevy you were looking at with the big V8 was an El Camino… Pretty rare sight these days even here in the U.S. in that condition
The parade was fun. I was watching at the level crossing at the railway station. Lots of folk went the wrong way and went over the crossing out of town, rather than doing a loop back into town. There were guys marshalling, but they seemed oblivious.
The Chevy el Camino at a bout 4:30 may have gone the route as my friend Greg's. He couldn't get enough juice, so he stuck in a 396, but that could be any displacement up to 454, in stock form.
Just for fun, I looked up the first plane flying over and it looks like a North American T-28 "Trojan" trainer, introduced in 1949. The twin engine plane with invasion stripes later on appears to be an Avro Anson. In keeping with the aero theme, I speculate that the strange little tractor tied to the bed of the big lorry was an airport tug of some sort. Well done on the commentary, Harley--I'm sure it wasn't easy to keep the banter going over the music. If there was anything by the Eagles, they would have found even a millisecond of it!
Hi Harley, what a superb show of fantastic vehicles which you so ably presented. I suspect I heard your drool hit the grass when you saw the tools and other gear with the American war vehicles!! The Austin Tasman's and Kimberley's were made for the Australian and New Zealand market as a replacement for the Austin 1800. They came in both 4 and 6 cylinder variants. They were released in the early 1970's and were noted rust collectors. Incidentally, the little grey tractor on the back of the Leyland truck/lorry (9:54) looks to me like a baggage train tractor you used to see at airports. Thanks again, Mike.
The Morris Minor is a nice car to drive I think. Also I once saw a lilac coloured Morris Minor 1,000,000 in North Oxford, not too far from its birth place in Cowley (special limited edition to celebrate the millionth Minor).
Hello 👋 Harley I know the Australian Austin Kimberley. They were sold here in New Zealand in the 1970s. They were sold along with British Austin / Morris cars. They didnt sell well, i think their engines were problematic. Their also was the Australian Austin / Morris Tasman make also. Google them and you will get info and history on them. I love the two Consul Capris , and the beautiful Singer Vogue. Thanks for your interesting video. From Carl.
Moggie or Moggy is an interesting term beyond being a non pedegree cat it can be a Morris Minor or a Morgan. I have had many of the first and one of the last.
Where did I get the idea that Land Rover might have had the OHV inlet, SV exhaust engine, [is that an "F" head?] maybe that RR design was in the sedans only.

Haha no a short while until then, Mrs OCC ferries me over
Thanks for that Harley, yet another great show and your videos get better all the time. 👍

Great video Harley, your knowledge, quality of video coverage and confidence just keep growing.
Much appreciated!
The big military truck at 1:01: is a Dodge Powerwagon . They have such a husky sound, that big 6!
Great video Harley well done😊😊

Right on both! Both planes are based at the nearby Sleap Airfield

Ah right that tractor slipped through the walkaround net, thanks for watching

The Rover p6 police car is an Ex Northamptonshire M1 patrol car in service from 1974 until about 1977
Hi harley the kimberley looks similar to the Austin maxi 👍
Yep but I think it's a bit bigger, based on the Wolseley Six if memory serves

The Kimberley I believe is based on an Austin 1800 land crab 🤔
That's what I gather
That was a Granada, not a Sierra.
The Chevy is an El Camino. Half car, half pick up truck.
Yes owned by me and the elcamino is my mates

For your information it was not a ford sierra but a granada amd is owned by me that is a elcamino with a 8 litre engine owned by my friend
