Love seeing the 88" wheelbase Landrover and Forward Control Light truck, those three Chevettes made me smile, brings back to my youth. Greetings from New Zealand.😎👌👍😷
The Ford Capri V8 MAY be a South African built Ford Capri Perana. As an Australian there are lot of British cars at this show I instantly recognise and other a new to me. Great video!
That was a good day out, I'm here in New Zealand and some of those cars we didn't have out here so I enjoyed seeing some I hadn't seen, I was over in your country from 1965 till 1970 and three cars I had in that time I didn't see 1956/Morris Oxford Mk I Zephyr 1956/Vauxhall Velox
Interesting to see the 'in your face' orange Chevette hatchback at 01.25. The only other one I have known was my Dad's, passed on to my wife and written off in Broadway by an American lady in a hire car forgetting which side of the road to drive on. Despite the vile colour, a reliable car, and its replacement, a white 4-door Chevette saloon, took the family down through France on holiday without missing a beat. It too was eventually written off by another lady driver!
It's worth noting (perhaps) that the Plymouth Satellite wagon you described as "gigantic" was, at the time, a "mid-size" car in the Plymouth lineup. The year the Satellite was introduced (1965), the "full-size" Fury would have been gigantic-er! The one you show looks to be about a 1970. BTW, the MG Midget at 06:17 is obviously FAB...and says so!
@@oldclassiccarUK to be strictly accurate the name as I originates from the Netherlands should be pronounced "Plas" however the company originated in Belgium and there it is pronounced "Pla" my father worked at Vanden Plas for over 25 years and I can tell you categorically it is pronounced "Pla"

It's weird looking back in time to when I was young.
Thanks again

Love see all the old British cars.
Agreed, so many manufacturers and individual styles etc
@@oldclassiccarUK I left the UK in 1969 so most of the cars were very familiar.
Another fine show. I agree with your point about the styling of American cars. The mid to late sixties is one of the best periods for them.

My mum had Ford Fiesta popular plus in exactly the same colour with the same stipe!
Love these old cars, would go to some but never find them.

With all the UA-cam notifications I get, I save yours for last so I can savour it 👍👍
Thankyou for your kind comments, more vids like this lined up as I type
1:52 WHY ? would someone open the bonnet on their car to show off the knackered insulation on the bonnet lid and the bodged wiring ??
I never open my bonnet at shows for the same reasons :-)

Fair point, compared to common British cars of the era it was pretty vast though! Thanks for watching and your thoughts
Thanks for the wonderful video greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hi Ian, thanks for your kind words, hi from down here :-)
Lanchester. Saw a few in England. 1940.? 1950?
Out of all those cars, I'd take that Alvis any day ! What a show - thanks for taking us along :-)
Shame about the sound quality. Microphone needs shielding.
Yeah that's why I mentioned it in the vid, I've replaced camera and mic since this vid was put together
Where is Smallwood ?
It's in Cheshire
Still catching up 😂
I should probably do the same!
Being a pedant I need to point out that "Vanden Plas" should be pronounced "Vanden Pla"
Last I read was that it should he a hard "S" rather than soft, hence me saying Plass, seems to vary depending on who I talk to
