NEC Classic Car Show - November

[Saabnut]

As far as I can remember, the Saab 600 was for the domestic market only (Sweden)

[brownnova]

Looks fab! Didn’t make it in the end this year... bit gutted but glad y’all had fun!

[dollywobbler]

WARNING. 54 minutes of Brummie waffling.

 

I recommend at least two cups of tea. Possibly a biscuit.

[LightBulbFun]

have to say after waking up feeling like crap 

 

a nice 1 hour hub nut video to just slouch in my chair over was exactly what I needed

 

twas great fun watching that

Broadsport?

 

Full marks for dissing the Escorts and that horrid McLaren thing though.

Oops. Broadspeed!

I IZ DISSAPPOINT! An hour of shiny cars, but NO SAABS! The SOC had a stand there with a Sonett 3 and a ultra rare 600 but they did not make it to the stardom that is a HubNut video.

 

I will only forgive you if you do a bigger bit on the UKSaabs/SOC stand at the NEC in March!

[Saabnut]

True, which started to build my hopes for the main event!

I didn't show any Mk3 Cavaliers either. Always something to miss!

[oldcars]

Good video. Seems quiet, was that done before opening as it was rammed when i was there.

Wayne Cherry gets a word check. The guru behind Vauxhall and GM design including the groundbreaking MK3  Cavalier. A underrated masterpiece of car body design IMHO. Wayne in his 80's now.

Yes, but I don't like Mk3 Cavaliers!

 

Seriously nice video, and I fully understand you cannot cover everything.

 

Point about the March show stands though!

Oh yes! No chance of getting around it once the show opened.

Am I alone in thinking that the Standard Atlas Camper is one of the most splendid vehicles to ever hit the road? I love its slightly startled countenance, and "hidden" wheels. Can there possibly be a better way to take tiffin at the side of the road?

 

Wonderful pics all, thanks for sharing.

I was hoping you'd spotted the new stuff on the BMWCC stand and royally ripped the piss. They are getting a well deserved hammering on Arsebook for it.

That might be a TiX, the 1982 Alfa GB limited edition based on the 95 bhp 1.5Ti to clear stocks. I had a chocolate brown one, UPH425X. That one hasn't got the (not unobtainium) lower body decals though but it's got the white grille.

They were almost all unregistered 1981 built cars that were tarted up.

 

Yep that was a TiX minus the decals. Still would though!

They're hardly alone in that. Volvo Owners' Club (I think, there seem to be more Volvo clubs every year) have been guilty of that before. Even Fiat Motor Club!

 

Worst I can remember is Daihatsu some years ago. They brought the Comagno out, but didn't even remove it from the car trailer! It was surrounded by current Daihatsus. Not impressed.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

I see the blue Skoda of Horror was replaced by a modded 2014 Superb or something. There were some ridiculous cars for sale last year, 12 plate 1 Series and shit like that. Shouldn't be allowed.

 

I'm wondering what happened to the MER bloke with the car polish setting fire to a Mini bonnet. He was everywhere.

[Alfamale]

I take your point your Reverance but it’s obvious the big manufacturers, BMW, Porsche and Aston Martin to name but three were spending a few bob to have a presence there but it’s one newish car on a very well laid out stand with some fantastic classics on.

 

The Alfa stand had the new Stelvio on but the presence of the Alfasud, Spider and GTV more than made up for it.

This is for those who want a bit of mk3 cav action

 

[oldcars]

This was class too. Love the two door style and the split side window that's in line with the rear seat.

[dollywobbler]

Drat. I really did miss a load of quality Vauxhalls!

[fordperv]

Following on with the vauxhall love

Last year I (almost) missed an entire hall. 

[fordperv]

A couple danthecapriman, Tamworthbay and other capri lickers may like

 

A uren stampede

 

This is a spitting image of my aunties mk2 3.0 that she had when I was growing up

 

 

 

[danthecapriman]

Nice!

Not sure about the choice of wheel on a few though! Lovely cars though nonetheless.

 

Did you get any snaps of the Cortina’s?

[fordperv]

I see wheels as a personal choice so I tend not judge cars on wheels, I'll take a look through my pictures a bit later, I tried not to take pictures of samey stuff if you get where im coming from

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Those Krayford Crapis are nasty. 

 

This is what a Mark 1 Capri should look like, accept no substitute:

I quite like the actual car, though I’m not a convertible lover at all tbh, very nicely restored etc but I really don’t like the wheels on either! They don’t suit the car at all imho. The blue one especially, it looks like a lovely early 70’s car that someone has shoved some big very 80’s alloys onto. Rostyles or dartboards etc etc would look much nicer.

I find the Ford ‘scene’ and especially the American car ‘scene’ are particularly bad offenders for terrible taste when it comes to wheels! The original style or figment wheels of the time are lovely and work well on the cars.

 

As rightly said though, it’s a personal choice and they’re not my cars! Still great to see them.
