great vid

Thank you for the coverage of the seicento sporting abarth . A bit different display of it and next event will be even better . Thabk you

I've only ever seen photographs of the Aston Virage. Must be one of the rarer models these days. Nice to see the Blue Bird, I've actually driven a saloon version badged as a Maxima in South East Asia a few decades ago and it actually drove much nicer than I had expected. Wow a Renault 5 Turbo. A turbo rather than a turbo 2 as well. These were the version built to homologate the cars for Motorsport and has aluminium body panels and that crazy dash bod with the instruments set into pods. I've seen a few Turbo 2 and even a maxi at shows but not an original Turbo. That Unpower GT is a great looking car, as is that Fulvia. I've never seen one of those Lagonda in the metal either. The selection of cars at this show was outstanding. I rather like that 309 Goodwood. I always felt the 3 Dr 309 GTI were a good looking car with that wrap around rear glass and four lamps integrated into the front bumper. Sadly still very much overshadow by the 205. How sleek did those Calibre look back in the day. That Defender looks too good to drive. Always nice to see a collection of Lotus models. My favourite being that red Esprit in the background. MK2 Capri a rare sight even without the X pack. A long time since I've seen a Caterham.21. I've never seen a Drophead Bristol before. There is actually a Bristol Coupe featured in my next video. That R16 is gorgeous. They were indeed one if the early hatchback. They do have a reputation for great ride owing to lots of suspension travel. I've never seen a Peugeot 604 either, hadn't seen a 504 until recently. I do love a 70's Maserati. Wow a Z1, another car that I don't think I've physically seen before. I always remember those rotating headlamps in the Opal GT. The Saab Sonnet is another car I've seen in books but never in person. Love the racing Puma, hoping to get my hands on a 1.7 Puma I'm the near future.

Lights on the Virage are from a VW Scirocco but were also used on a Santana in other regions. That car is the ex Rowan Atkinson Virage.

Some lovely Italian metal there. Iso, Maserati,Alfa Romeo. My favourite car on your video was the Lancia Fulvia which looked epic. As you know I like my German engineered cars but when it comes to styling, the Italians were world beaters. If I were to buy something modern I would go for an Alfa Guilia and keep my fingers crossed on reliability! Thanks for the video. Look forward to the next one Simon.

Thanks for including my XJS, its original 79 uk car as standard 38 k miles from new.

I love the Bicester Scrambles, I cant wait for the April event. Didnt manage to get to the October one.

Thanks Simon, another belter of a review on the assemble. I was drooling at the TR7 rally, the Tony Pond car is at Gaydon Museum. The car there is probably worth a small fortune now. If I remember also they pushed the V8 further into the bulkhead in order to make it more mid engined and not over the front axles as were the production TR8's. The rest of the review from what you showed was just a delight to see, thank you for bringing this to us, much appreciated.

That's my Datsun 200L, it's a factory Norwegian car with a G20 OHV 4 cylinder

Every pan starts by looking at the grass, it's OK to just open up right on the car - just saying

Caterham 21 failed because it appealed to no one, those that wanted a 7 wanted a 7 and those that wanted a sports car didnt want a car as stiff as a 7 in the 21. It was essentially a 7 with a fibreglass body and almost as compromised.
