    Love the variety of cars that come to these UK cars n caffeine.,.. To take one home, and to pick a classic it would be the Jag xk150. Stunning. If I had all the money in the world and needed to pick a modern one it could be the GT3, MB SLS or perhaps the McLaren - too many choices! Keep up the good work… love to see cars we never ever see here in the US such as that 3 wheeler Morgan! Cheers and carry on

    Another great vid, some real beauties there including the XK150 and Interceptor SP. As usual you spent time looking at the cars that are sometimes left under the radar such as the Tamsin, Celica and Punto. Although they weren’t the headline grabbers in their day, they were the models that were most common and I always enjoy seeing in your content. Many thanks.

    Thanks again for a great video, the Pilot is my favourite of all the cars that I've seen at O.C.C. since I've been watching. It would be something that I would consider giving up my Rover P4 100 for, but not quite. Keep up the good work. All the best.

    Hi 👋 Great show of cars. I like the Porsche 911 in that green. They have been in production for a long time now. Modified over the years. Your Ford Pilot is beautiful, such an old treasure.

    To take home , first choice XK150, no question. Second 1971 Porsche 911 I really like that green.Third 1972 Jensen Interceptor. Forth Sunbeam Tiger. A really good turn out at this meet and I have never seen that model Thunderbird in the UK either Rick. A bit unfortunate for the little Porsche 914 but it recovered its dignity at the end. Thanks Rick for another great video. 👍👍

    The Pilot doesn't fail to look and sound good. Favourites at the meet: that super looking Saab 96 V4 and the extremely 'purposeful' sounding Sunbeam Tiger. I remember Peter Harper rallying Tiger's with some success. Sorry to hear Mrs OCC 'failed to proceed'......

    • @johnbastille5483

      I had a SAAB 96 in the 70s (and now I'm in MY 70s) which had Koni shocks, Michelin X tires, and Lucas PL700 headlights. It burned valves several times, so I concocted a dual exhaust system using the Sonett front collector as a take-off point. All was fine after that. So, all that being said, the SAAB 96 is high in the running for favorite but certainly not alone!

    Another great video Rick. My choice of todays line up woould be the SAAB 96. Being a SAAB man, I started off with a 1963 Bullnose 2 stroke - 3794 VB - what a machine ! Then had a SAAB 96 V4, Red, like the one there - TRA 407F. Various SAABs since - a 99 and 4 x 900s. Thanks for doing these videos for us. Take care 🙂

    Some very nice cars, but my choice would be the Jaguar XK150. Many years ago, here in Australia, the manager of a local engineering company had one of these and his daughter used to drive it around town. Both car and girl were very desirable.

    My winners for the day are the Pilot and the SAAB. I've been to Combermere a few times but stopped going because it always seems to be full of sports cars are cars that have been 'butchered' and I'm not much of a fan of either.
